TIPS AND HINTSWe urgently need more items for this section, so as to enable themany people who read the Bulletin to get the technical information,that they subscribe to the Bulletin for. Many people are new to thisgame and wish to obtain as much information about their cars aspossible. So please think about a little dodge or assembly detail thatyou may have recently done which may help your fellow Triple-Mmember. Almost as important is a recommendation of a firm who hasbeen of help to you recently – often people are reassured when they usea firm that has been recommended by fellow owners; it helps to savepeople going to a firm which has been less than satisfactory when thefirm is picked at random.On the P and N-types the clutch pivot pins were originallyadjusted using a screwdriver in the cross head slot; this isdifficult to get at as the gearbox means the screwdriver can onlyget at the pivot pin at an angle, and a right angled screwdrivercan only locate the slot in a 45 degree window. Current replacementpivot pins have therefore been produced with an Allen keyslot in the end, which allows much easier adjustment with anL-shaped Allen key. However, the slot for the Allen key is so bigas to leave a thin annular ring of metal at the rear of the pivot pinfor the lock nut to bite on. The lock nut therefore quite easilyshears off the end of the pivot pin, and drops into the clutchhousing. This leaves the pivot pin unlocked, so that it canunscrew and the clutch looses adjustment.
We understand that the latest batch of these pivot pins havenow been heat treated differently, so that they are not so brittle.However the pivot pins really need to be ¼” longer, so that thelock nut tightens up on the full section of the pin. A limited sourceof these 1 ¼” long ¼”BSF pivot pins has been found at FrancisKirk (Socket Screws) Ltd, Denton Hall Farm Road, Denton,Manchester, M34 2QN Tel. 0161 336 2631 e-mail sales@franciskirk.com)Top left pivot pin and lock nut in position.Top right sheared off pivot pinOn left, new knurled end pivot pins, (longer one nearest),sheared and unsheared pins on right.
