March Moaningsby Frank Oakley

Well, this has been a week to forget. I only wish I could. Those of you who were at the Feb. meeting will recall how I was overwhelmed with car stuff-breakdowns and the acquisition of a new for me Jaguar. Wednesday I got a call from my buddy in Boulder asking for some help loading his Mazda Miata onto my tow dolly so he could tow it with his motor home on vacation to Phoenix. Lovely day, top down, away I went.

The weather was supposed to be OK for that day, some snow to our west, but nothing down here.

A one hour job turned into a six hour fiasco, and I found myself coming back about 9:00 PM on Wednesday. Most of you know what was going on. It looked like a blizzard out there.

Coming up State Road 86, about 2 ½ miles from home, at 25 miles an hour uphill, the rear of the car took ab abrupt left into oncoming traffic. I managed to correct and get out of the way of the oncoming traffic. However, I collected the guard rail at about 15 miles an hour. On the second day I had the car on the road, I wrecked it.

The nose panel, grille, license plate, headlight assembly, front fender and hood are damaged.

I just got back from the Insurance Company’s accident center. The estimate is for $8100.00, and I will not know for a few days if they are going to total it or not.

So, I need to find a way to have some fun. Any ideas??

Twenty-one members gathered at the “Breakfast Inn” at 9 am and were seated at one long table. Usura (waitress) did an outstanding job and the inexpensive menu was a big hit.

Afterward we convoyed to the nearby home of Richard Gordon. We toured his basement collection of Austin-Healey models (1,200+), books, posters, pho-tos, and associated regalia. Richard also entertained us with many delightful stores of the early days of AH and of English cars in the metro area. Afterward we moved to his garage and admired his Austin Healy, a couple of nice M/B (in-cluding at 1964 coupe) and P-1800 Volvo. It’s a three bay garage and each bay has a lift and he can work and store several at once. He does a lot of restoration work himself only using professionals for painting and some upholstery work. Lastly we admired his Tesla Model S 85 electric car. He is very enthusiastic owner and has plans to buy one of the SUV-AWD models that should be available within s year.

We thank him for a delightful and informative visit.

Dear Dr. Abbyby Patrick Huckels

Dear Dr. Abby: I think my car’s liquids are hygroscopic! What can I do? Rocky Mountain Bob

Dear Bob: There are fluids in your car that could be hydroscopic (attracts water). Typically these are your brake fluid and also Ethanol in you newer fuels. Low Moisture Activity (LMA) formulated brake fluids help prevent the absorption of water, which can lead to vapor locked brakes. B3C sells a fuel additive called Ethanol Shield to keep the ethanol and

petroleum portions of your fuel mixed to-gether as well as enveloping (surrounding) the water molecules and allows the en-gine to burn it without harm. If you are a member of the Rocky Mountain Triumph Club, you’re in luck as there will be a B3C representative that will speak at the April 15th general meeting about all of the B3C fuel system products that can help keep your Triumph running as it should.

Dear Dr. Abby: My TR4A has a bun-ion on its trunnion! MJ Scholls

Dear MJ: Not worry as that bunion was placed on your trunnion for a reason-lubrication. But, let me warn you that ac-

cording the TR4A/6 maintenance manual and lubrication chart, you shouldn’t think that this bunion is a grease fitting. It’s actu-ally a 90 weight oil fitting. Now, you might think that I have lost my mind but the de-signers of the trunnion knew that grease is far too thick to properly lubricate the brass piece at normal ambient tempera-tures. You may now be wondering- So how do you inject oil into such a small fitting? I’m you glad asked. There is a won-derful article about this particular subject on the VTR.Org website, Trunnion Oiling.

Happy Motoring from Abby

Breakfast and Garage Tour, Feb. 8th, 2014 by Gordon Kenney

As I complete my marathon of contem-plating, composing, condensing, and creating this month’s Herald, I thought my read-ers would like to see what my desk looks like before filing everything away and start afresh for next month. Vivi is kind enough to allow me time between each issue to form my ‘organized mess’. But once the Herald is sent to the printers………..

I enjoy reading Triumph facts and history and this means purchasing many books and magazines along the way. As I might have mentioned before, I often start an article here and end up way over there. The path is often fascinating for me but I can easily forget how the whole thing started in the first place.

My desire is for each of you to find something, at least one thing, interesting in each issue of the RMTC Herald.

I greatly appreciate our webmaster, An-drej, as it is by far easier for me to create than compile and construct a great looking newsletter. Also, my thanks goes to Sean DeBow who has taken over my duties of arranging the printing of our newsletter.

To my fellow Board Members, kudos for getting your reports and articles to me be-fore I had to ask twice.

In closing, I once read this: If a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind, then what is an empty desk the sign of? Guess I’ll never know.

PDWA Valve by Patrick Huckels

Ok, let’s say that you are in an action film and some mob thug was sent to slightly cut one of your brake lines. His hope is that you will approach a posted 45MPH unbarricaded mountain curve at your usual 90MPH and as you apply your brakes, the line will snap sending all the brake fluid onto the asphalt causing the tires to slip and you off plunging to your somersaulting and fiery demise. Well, that’s unless you’re James Bond where you just dust off your tux and walk away with only a slight scratch above your left eyebrow.

Let’s face it, having brakes on your car is a good thing, right?

To help warn you that something’s not right with your brake system car manu-facturers came up with an ingenious little devise called the PDWA: Pressure Differ-ential Warning Actuator when it’s working correctly. When it’s not, it might be called a Persistent Display (that something) Wants Attention assuming that you have a Perpetually Defective Wiring Arrange-ment which can lead into a Public Display of Writhing Anger as your dash’s Brake Warning Light just stays on for no appar-ent reason.

It’s totally possible that you might not become aware of a loss of pressure/brak-ing but the automotive engineers wanted you not to rely on your sense of touch or extraordinary intellect but rather use your sense of sight. The BRAKE lamp il-luminates and you stop your car before something catastrophic happens, unless you’re wearing your tux that is.

So how does a loss of pressure turn the light on you might ask? Well this is where the PDWA comes into the movie script. When you have equal pressure in both the front and back brake systems a piston remains in the center of the PDWA. This in turn keeps the little switch pin in the plastic ‘cap’ of sorts, in the downward position. In this position the warning light circuit is ‘open’ so your light stays off. If a pressure drop on one side of the PDWA occurs, then the piston moves to that side causing the pin in the switch to move up-ward and this ‘closes’ the circuit causing the BRAKE warning light to illuminate.

A frequent problem with your BRAKE light staying on is when you bleed your brakes you normally do one at a time, either a front or rear brake. This might cause the piston inside the PDWA to slide off center and stay there even though you eventually will have equal pressure on all 4 corners of your brakes.

So what do I do now? Try and find a new one? Good luck with that one. Or take a risk and buy a used one on eBay? Or you could just disconnect the switch’s connector, such as I did for some years, or try what I learned from Ted Ax at the Sports Car Craftsmen.

1) Remove the electrical connector from the top of the actuator switch pic-tured below. You’ll have to squeeze the top of the switch to get the clips to open before removing it.

2) Remove the plastic switch itself. Don’t worry, this will NOT introduce air in your system or release brake fluid all

over your car or worse, yourself. The O-Rings at each end of the piston prevent this from happening. Turn the switch over and you’ll notice the pin at the bottom. This pin should move up and down with a small amount of force.

3) Look to see if the PDWA piston is centered in the hole. The reduced diam-eter (center) of the piston should be seen through the hole. If it’s not centered, try moving the piston with a scribe or small eyeglass screwdriver in either direction until you can see the reduced portion. This might take some trial and error as it’s impossible to see if the piston moved

to the left or to the right. Hopefully you will have luck and get it to return to its centered position. If not, well then the piston is stuck and you’ll have to remove it to get the piston free or in the worse case, replace it entirely. Of course, you can continue to drive the car with the switch disconnected, relying on your great sense of touch or extraordinary intellect.

Now the electrical check of the system

The BRAKE and OIL warning light bulbs are tested when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position (not to ACC). The OIL and BRAKE should glow dimly when the ignition switch is in the ON position. They both should go out together when you have built enough oil pressure in the engine as the oil pressure switch opens the circuit for the bulbs and closes the circuit for the anti-run-on valve. I will leave that circuit for another day.

If the OIL and BRAKE lights don’t not come on together or only the OIL light then check the following

1) Either the BRAKE or OIL light bulbs are burnt out, or both. They are connected in series during the ‘test’ check with pow-er passing through the OIL light bulb first. Check that both light bulbs are working okay. I learned to clean the center contact on my zipper while in the military. Check also that the center contact in the bulb holder is also clean.

2) Your oil pressure switch maybe faulty. If you can find the white & brown wire connected to your oil pressure switch, and with the car shut off, check to make sure you have a completed ground circuit between this wire and any ground. This brown & white wire completes the ground to both the OIL and BRAKE lights during the TEST. It also completes the circuit to the OIL light when there is oil pressure failure.

3) If you have a single wire PDWA switch, you can check to see if the BRAKE bulb is working by turning the car’s igni-tion switch to the ‘on’ (prior to ‘start’)

and connect the ‘cut’ (stub) wire on the PDWA switch to ground using a sharp pointed test lead or other tool. The BRAKE light should illuminate. Should the light glow brightly (brighter than the TEST trial) and turns off when you dis-connect the ground test lead, your PDWA and bulb are working! If not, then there’s a good chance that your BRAKE bulb is burnt out. If you have a two wired switch, disconnect the switch, turn it over and touch either contact to ground.

4) You can test your PDWA by remov-ing the wire connector and touch either pin on the switch to ground and using an OHMs tester. If the switch is OPEN, you will NOT have continuity between the switch and ground. This means you did a great job of centering the piston.

5) Another thing that might be caus-ing the OIL & BRAKE lights not to illumi-nate during the TEST is that the oil pres-sure switch is not working. This is easy to check by disconnecting the brown-white wire from the pressure switch while leav-ing the black ground wire attached. Check for continuity between any ground and the terminal where the brown-white wire was connected. This is done without the engine running of course. If the circuit is open, the switch is faulty and either needs to be replaced or repaired. I just checked mine and it was indeed faulty. I removed the switch, laid it sideways on my vise and gently tapped on the steel connector con-necting the lower metallic threaded por-tion to the plastic switch portion. I had some luck as I got the switch to oper-ate (continuity between ground and b-w terminal) again. I checked that the switch

was working under pressure by touching the test leads of my multi-meter to the ground and B-W terminal and blew about 60psi of air into the switch. The circuit opened so I knew the switch was operat-ing properly. I will buy a new switch as I doubt that this type of repair will last very long but for the moment, it works.

6) I just realized that if the oil pres-sure switch keeps the OIL & BRAKE light circuit closed (both lamps dimly illumi-nated), even after the engine has built up oil pressure, the oil pressure switch may be bad and require the same attention as #5 above.

3 Pronged Oil Pressure Switch

7) Remember this: OIL & BRAKE lights should illuminate dimly when ignition switch is turned to ON and go off when the engine has built enough oil pressure to OPEN the light circuit. BRAKE light glows brightly when there is a problem with your brakes and/or PDWA.

Please note: The instructions above where written using my 1974 TR6 wiring and repair manuals. Your car may differ. The techniques and results should remain the same.

Size Matters

When you find yourself shopping at the Big & Tall Man’s shop, car interior size matters

While living in Italy, I used to enjoy watching the show ‘Wheeler Dealers’ with 6’7” tall Grease Junkie Ed China. The top of Ed’s forehead would always protrude over the top of a convertible’s windscreen and you’d have to ponder- is there a car that Ed’s head could actually fit in?

I once read a TR6 sales ad where the seller stated ‘Please remember that this is car has a very narrow interior and that you are not as young and slim as you when you were 18 years old!’

I’ve heard David and Arlene Bosh lov-ingly call their TR6 ‘The Sardine Can’.

Did you know that the TR2 & 3 inte-rior dimensions were aligned to Sir John Black’s short legged, long torso physique? I guess the term ‘general ergonomics’ wasn’t deemed important back then.

After purchasing a gorgeous Moto Lita steering wheel for Jolly I realized that, af-ter installing it, the bottom of the new 15” diameter wheel was resting on the top of my knees. Now I would have to drive ‘spread eagle’ for the remainder of my life! I instantly had an epiphany why Jolly came with a 14 ” wheel - Baby Boomers Blossom.

So, the question is: How do we adapt our Triumphs to fit our new, less youthful proportions? Join Slim Genics and loose all that we have invested so much time and money in? Start drinking Lite Beer,

wine with low cal grapes, or diet soda in our mixed cocktails? Heaven forbid.

As you would expect, I delved into the subject with vim and vigor to find out what could we do to make our finite inte-rior space fit our newly defined portions. One thing to consider is the size of our steering wheel.

Here’s some data: TR2/3/3A steering wheels have a 17” di-

ameter wheel as I think their steering box came from a Massey Ferguson Tractor!

TR4/4A has a 16” diameter wheel as Rack and Pinion Steering was introduced. Accolades to the engineering team.

TR6 1969 to 1972 (CC) models have a 15” wheel- Yet more leg room.

TR6 1973 (CF model) to 1976 have a 14 1/2” wheel (foreshadowing the ever growing Baby Boomer Battle of the Bulge).

In addition, I found this wonderful article written by one of the great 6’5” tall Triumph Buckeye members which in-cludes seat track adaptations. Sorry rear seat passengers, you’ll have to leave your legs at home after this modification. Here is a great story to read...http://www.buck-eyetriumphs.org/technical/Tall/TR6Tall.htm

Note to self: Before buying an expensive steering wheel remember that size does matter.


Optional Triumph Racing Wheels

Are you looking for a set of official Triumph racing wheels offered in their sales brochures? Well, you’re in luck. Of course, you can choose to wait and search for a nice set of original wheels, made by American Racing Equipment (ARE). But the question is why?

There are two companies making new replicas of the Silverstone and LeMans mag wheels offered on the TR4/4A/250 & 6.

Eight spoked Silverstones were a SCCA recognized wheel option for the TR4/4A/1969 TR6. They are be-ing produced by a Canadian company GC360 Enterprises Inc. Their website is Silvertone II Wheels

It appears that in 1970 Triumph moved to yet another type of ARE racing wheel as an option-The 4 spoke LeMans. Searching for a wheel that closely resembles the ARE wheel I found the VTO’s LeMans. Their web-site is VTO LeMans

Now, if you are really lucky, you may find a nice set of Rostyle Wheel Cov-ers used on the TR250 and early 6’s. Ironically, I found out that the design of the wheel covers originally came from the USA and were popular dur-ing the Muscle Car movement. They were made in the UK. The name Ro-Style came from the fact that Rover Cars wore them. Bruce McWilliams, Triumph’s USA Sales and Marketing manager disliked them so much that when the first two hand-built TR6’s ar-rived to the USA, both with Rostyles, he removed the wheel covers from the Jasmine car and added the wire wheel option prior to any sales bro-chure photo shoot.

RMTC 2014 Event Calendarby Sharon Robinson


General Meeting at Piccolo’s, January 21st, 2014

PM Frank Oakley called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm and started by recog-nizing birthdays. Nominations were asked for the unfilled position of Minister of Let-ters; Gordon K. was nominated and voting will be at the Feb. general meeting.

Sharon R. reviewed the events for the next few months and asked for more input for events from the membership. Gor-don K. talked about the coming Feb. 8th breakfast and tour of Richard Gordon’s Austin-Healey model collection, a garage tour and examination of a Model S Tesla electric car. He then told of arranging for Gary George to talk about appraisals at the Feb. general meeting.

Terry H. conducted the raffle and birthday cake was served. Twenty-three members had attended and Triumphs had been driven to the meeting by John Allen, David Bosh and Frank Oakley.

RMTC LLC Board Meeting, Feb. 3, 2014

Attendees: Frank O. Ralph M., Bob M., Janet C., Patrick H. and Gordon K. (non-voting).

Income and expenses will be more tightly controlled. Any event planned that will be of more than $100 net expense needs advance approval. The dues were increased by $5 making them $35/$40 starting April 1, 2014. Patrick will invoice and collect from commercial advertisers and arrange for each to receive a “Herald” copy if desired.

A “By-Law” Revision committee of 3 board members (Ralph, Patrick, and Gor-don) and 2 general members (Ken Kalin and one to be recruited) was formed to collect input and prepare revisions. Ralph will be the initial chairperson and the committee will select a permanent chair-person...

David Briggs, former member of the RMTC, donated Triumph related tools (added to club tool stock), and a book and four club engraved mugs (banquet door prizes).

The coming event schedule was dis-cussed. Patrick will hold the Fathers Day and monthly meeting on June 14th and Frank hosts the Spring Tune April 26th.

It was decided to do the roster in the 8 _ x 11 format; By-Laws only sent to new members. The meeting adjourned at 9:04.

Monthly meeting at Piccolo’s, Feb. 19, 2014

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by PM Frank Oakley; it opened with Gordon K. showing slides from the Austin-Healey tour held earlier in the month.

Officer reports began with Sharon R. reviewing upcoming events; Janet C. re-ported there are 125 memberships and Ralph M. giving a treasurers report. The vacant position of Minister of Letters was filled by the election of Gordon Kenney...

Gary George was the guest speaker who talked about Car Appraisals. One topic was “diminished value” where insur-ance has repaired the car but it is now worth less since it had been in an acci-dent. It was a very good presentation with many questions from the audience being answered.

There were 15 members and guest present and 6 Triumphs had been driven to the meeting.

2013 Georgetown Hill ClimbBy Bob Becwar

Don’t know how many of you enjoy classic cars and hot rods, but here are some prizes. George-town is about 45 miles from our front door and a very historical locale....there gold in them there hills, in the foot hills of the Rocky Mountains. It hasn’t changed much since 1849 - except they the have more paved roads then dirt one. Also, in the winter, they hold spiked wheel ice races on the local lake - mostly with modified jeeps and old GMC and Ford trucks. Another exciting event if you like this sort of thing. The people are great and come from all walks of life.
