Its amazing, isn't it, what you learn when doing this kind of thing. Looking at Beans' reply, I thought "doh" !!! I had removed the whole lot in one go, so why on earth didn't I replace it in one go? Seems so obvious now, but we live and learn. Silly me.

Off topic, ish, I once had a 1963 DAF YA324 army truck and obviously the handbook for it was in Dutch. I swore a lot in English when working on that thing's wretched Hercules JXC side-valve engine, but never learned to swear in Dutch. The only thing I learned from the whole experience was (a) Versnellingsbak (reduction gear box) (b) banden (tyres) and (c) accu (battery). I can now speak Dutch with confidence, albeit in rather limited company, and only about three things...

Versnellingsbak = gearbox
Tussenbak = reduction gear box

Never drove the YA324, but had a go at the YA328 (artillery tractor) during my time in the army
Awesome and completely different machine, no speed at all but brilliant in any terrain ...

So, I learned a new word in Dutch! Thanks Beans.

We probably shouldn't talk too much about non-Triumphs on here, but I always wanted a YA328 as it had more wheels! But the 314/324 was as you say very good at going anywhere, but so slow! I couldn't get above 40 KPH and would get stuck behind cyclists which I could not overtake. The gear shift was odd because it was behind the driver, but the engine sang beautifully. I wish I had not sold it. My truck came from Breda and I flew to collect it. We brought it back on the ferry from the Hook of Holland.

Anyway, here is a photo of my TR7, just so we are all talking about Triumphs!

Best wishes

Good to see that ever more TR7's get treated properly
