Toothed Belt Drive

I spotted this on eBay and it looks a worthwhile modification to remove the problem of belt slipage.

On the Triumph setup, the toothed belt would replaced the twin v belts, but the v belt for the water pump and alternator would be retained.

The pictures show an interesting "outer" bearing.

Food for thought...

Shorrock COMPLETE C75B supercharger -Never been fitted?

Thought about bidding on this myself, but really can't justify the price having previously bought a Shorrock that had allegedly been "rebuilt". The guarantee this unit has "never been fitted" amounts to next to none.

STARTING PRICE : £2000.00
SOLD FOR : £2100.00

Triumph 2000 MkI Overdrive Switch

Having discovered that the Lucas part number of the column mounted Triumph 2000 MkI overdrive switch is 34713, my saved search on eBay eventually turned up trumps with this new old stock item -

An absolute bargain at £8.51 !

Just need to remove the steering column cowling to fit it - although I've heard it's a pig of a job!

Shorrock C75B Supercharger

Although not suitable for a Triumph, this Shorrock Supercharger kit is a rare item still in its original box. I guess the rarity was reflected in the final price.
