Power Steering Pump – banjo washer
|
Application: TR8 Triumph Part #: UKC8821 Other Part #’s: Other Vehicles: References: WWWedge e-mail list
Comments: I have the package here, it is an Earl's part number, 1178110ERL (5/8 Dowty-Seal). It is the exact part I used in my car without problem. Pegasus Racing lists the following (search the Pegasus site for "Dowty"): 3240-5/8BSP Dowty Sealing Washer for 5/8 BSP Ports. Also see this Holley link:http://www.holley.com/178110ERL.asp I will look later in my MIL-SPEC manuals and see if I can come up with a True aircraft part number. Dyna Seal is a branded item and will likely be the best quality available.- Joe Pinto |

Comments: TR7/8 wheels are 13 X 5.5” size, Offset +24.5mm and hub centric on a relatively rare 4 X 3.75” bolt circle.
The Triumph Herald/Spitfire/GT6 used same bolt circle but with smaller diameter studs and wheels are typically 4.5” or 5” wide with lug (nut) centric centering.
MGF, Rover Metro & Montego, Austin Marina & early Lotus.
TR7 steel wheels will not clear TR8 front brake calipers. Something to think about for TR8 owners with Steel spare wheels.

Wheels – Lug Nuts - Aluminium wheels
|
Application: TR7/8 Triumph Part #: UKC7197 Other Part #’s: Other Vehicles: References: WWWedge e-mail list
Comments: Stock: (pictured) Thread: 12mm x 1.50 RH, requires a 7/8” wrench.
Part number: GOR-73137SM made by Gorilla available from Summit Racing http://www.summitracing.com/search/?keyword=73137SM&dds=1 These nuts are not the same as stock cosmetically, and they require a 13/16” wrench, but do fit when used with the supplied washers. “Dorman part number 611 108 (http://www.dormanproducts.com/gsearch.aspx?type=keyword&q=611-108) These are the lug nuts I use on my TR8 wheels. The shank is just slightly too long, so I bought an extra set of chrome washers and put pairs of washers under the nut shoulder rather than singles. This works OK for me. “ - Creig Houghtlaing “12 mm x 1.5 in "Short Mag" has the right dimensions, 73138SM or 73137SM. (http://www.gorilla-auto.com/lug-nuts-page-09) “– Jim Tencate
