herald948 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 How do you define "troublesome"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Well not so much troublesome I guess as a bit difficult to live with and awkward to maintain. Having now checked out the alternatives with Canley Classics I think I'll stick with the originals until I win the lottery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 I can see that you guys are all traditionalists, nothing wrong with that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people see it differently, but I'm quite happy with the maintenance regime,Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Exactly the same as virtually any part of any classic car - look after it and it will look after you. Now yes, everything has a limited service life, but usually when your trunnion breaks it's because of years of mis-maintenance.And to say we're traditionalists would be true to an extent - but almost every car in the club that I can think of has been modified in some way. Not all, but most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.in_Lux Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Not really a traditionalist either."If it isn't broken, don't fix it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 There's a great deal of merit in what you've all said. I'll stick with the original trunnions then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
