In honor of Triumphfest, which I am presently missing, we've had the TR8 in the shop for the past week in another attempt to get it roadworthy. When we last seriously looked at the TR8 it had taken every opportunity to leak out every sort of fluid it contained. We'd corralled the coolant issues and the oil drippings were no different from any other LBC I'd ever owned as it marked it's territory.
Brake fluid and Power steering fluid, on the other hand, appeared to be coming from everywhere. I picked up the necessary brake bits from Delta Motorsports here in Phoenix and ordered all the parts necessary for a complete R&R (Remove and Replace) on the power steering. The past two weeks has seen me removing and cleaning up the power steering components. Today's task is reinstallation. At this stage of the morning the power steering pump has been installed and the rach has been placed while reinstalling the front cross member. Once we finish the reinstallation of the power steering we'll be replaing all the leaky buits of the brakes, and we should be able to get this old car back on the road!
