Hi Chris.

The chances of getting one new are nil I believe but there is a get around with it. The Vacuum retard was only used at tickover to lower emission for the north American market at tickover only. as soon as you drive off the advance curve in the distributor takes over. I know people have blocked off the hole in the inlet manifold where the banjo bolt fits and adjusted the tickover higher or set the timing to 12 degree instead of 8. 

Hope this helps.

Now I know how my Mum feels when I try to teach her about computers and she gives me that look that says "what the f*ck"?

Hi Brav

I had heard about this and it well may come to that. I did locate a guy in Ohio who has tons of TRs languishing on his ground and he has promised to go look for one, we'll see. Thing is a part of that banjo connector/bolt goes to the brake servo, so we'll need to see how that can be done.

Hi Chris.

Didn't realise the brake servo was involved, anyway not sure what the thread is on the banjo but you could try one of these and run it to the servo.

Please note what ever you do it must have a non return valve in it

I have managed to locate the parts I need from a bloke in Ohio who has fields full of Triumphs. Deal is you contact him give me Leyland part numbers he goes to a donor car and takes them off. Slowly, slowly we're getting there.
