market for new made or upgraded tr7 parts

Marko · Postby **Marko** » 14 Apr 2013 15:44

Hello,

I was wondering would triumph owners be willing to buy newly made parts for their cars? Or is that not preferred for an "oldtimer"

For example water pump impellers are not available for some reasonable price. It can only be bought as a whole assembly or reconditioned.

I think it could be made for less money than they are currently available, in newer materials, with closer tolerances to the water pump bore and top cover, and impeller geometry, making it a more efficient,more durable, lighter part for less money.

Just counting the amount of people on this forum and dolly sprint forum i think there would be enough demand to make this profitable.

any thoughts?

Might be a good idea, although I do have a fair amount of original 12 vane impellers lying about.

As an aside, currently working on drawings for fabricating brackets new rear axle brackets etc. locally.
But also thinking of machining the TR7 Sprints rear heater pick up ...

I believe the water pump impeller is being remanufactured by a Aussy vendor in aluminum. I can't think of the vendor at the moment.

100$

only thing that worries me how are they going to remove it from the steel shaft after a year or two, it should have had an steel insert on the wearing surfaces.

I thought that S&S or Robsport made converter plate.

I think it's a good idea we could included in parts / improved parts? or an own section

@ Beans I don't understand "TR7 Sprint rear heater pick up" - what part is meant ..

I am interested in your oil pans baffle and the trigger wheel - if you're going into production let me know - what did you with the intake manifold ? a Mangoletsi with welding for the injectors..

We have problems with motor company went bankrupt and we have not yet received the items .. It was promised to us but we still have no parts, it is now already been a while .. we paid a few thousand and now no engine- but the parts are still there as far as I know - ex employee

What is being referred to is illustrated on this page: http://www.triumphtrs.co.uk/tr7sprints.htm

It would be great to have some bolt on upgrade kits for the 4 cylinder engine (sprint or 8 valve), such as:
- EFI conversion (36-1 crank pulley with trigger wheel, VR sensor and bracket, inlet manifold drilled for injectors, capped dummy distributor to maintain oil pump drive, 4 coil pack and mounting bracket, EMU and wiring harness options, with installation instructions)
- EWP conversion kit - replace the troublesome oem unit with something like the Davies Craig electronic pumps
- Rear disk brake conversion with cable handbrake hookup
- AC installation brackets, etc to suit modern compressor

I'm sure there are a range of other bits and pieces on top of this that I would be interested in buying.

Been a long time since I saw one of these clearly (actually over 15 years ago) [:D]
Looking at small local companies for some fabricating work, using modern computer controlled equipment.

Will use Weber/Dellorto flanged throttle bodies.

Sad to hear about your problems with the engine, hope it gets sorted properly.

jeffremj, what did you do about the tachometer? I am using a MegaJolt on a 4.6 V8 and so far I have not been able to get the tach working.

EDIS4 has 2 outputs than can be used to supply a Tacho...Pin 2 (Ignition Diagnostic Monitor) and Pin 11 (Clear Tach output). You can use either output as a signal to switch a simple resistor/transistor/diode circuit to supply a 12v Square Wave signal to the Tacho, or use a pull-up in conjunction with the CTO Output.
It consists of a 1 kOhm resistor connecting the CTO-signal to +12v. When the CTO is open, 12v is supplied to the Tacho via the resistor and when the CTO is grounded the 12v flows to ground. The result is a 12v Square Wave. EDIS6 and EDIS8 do not have the CTO pin.
