1. SERVICE STANDARD AND TRIUMPH VEHICLES NOT FOR PUBLICATION SPORTS 1 B FAILURE OF R P M INDICATOR INSTRUMENT OR Date APRIL 1954 INNER DRIVE CABLE There have been instances of instrument failure Which upon examination have been found to be due to excessive end loading of the operating mechanism This has generally been caused by the fit of the square ends of the inner cable being too tight either in the instrument or in the engine drive attachment The inner cable should be checked for free fitting at both ends and particularly so at the engine drive It will be necessary to ease or replace the engine drive socket if the square recess in the socket is undersize There have been cases of inner cable fracture due to sharp bends in the run of the outer cable on R H S Models The run has now been improved in factory assembly to minimise the possibility of such a condition and the modified run is shown in the illustration It is most important that both the cable for this instrument and also that for the speedometer are not kinked during installation as once distortion of the inner cable has taken place early failure is inevitable however correct is the subsequent run of the cable It should be general practice to finally check the run of the cable to ensure the maximum possible radius for each bend especially where it is clipped or passes through bulkheads NOTE These instruc

SERVICE STANDARD AND TRIUMPH VEHICLES NOT FOR PUBLICATION VANGUARD 3 B ENGINE VENTILATION SERIES DESIGN Date AUGUST 1954 This Information Sheet should be cross referenced on the Index Sheet for the SPORTS Model as SPORTS 4 B The Cylinder Block for the Vanguard Part No 301138 has been modified to incorporate a baffle integral with the main casting adjacent to the breather pipe in order to prevent any possibility of oil loss The modified block incorporating this baffle is supplied under Part No 301487 The introduction of the cast baffle has necessitated a new Breather Pipe Assembly Part No 202126 alternatively the original Pipe Part No 201650 may be modified as shown in the illustration The modification necessitates shortening the projection of the pipe beyond its locating dimples from 2 53 to 1 22 The Cylinder Block Part No 301140 on the Sports Model was similarly modified without change of Part No at Eng No TS 972E and the Breather Pipe Assembly is affected in a similar manner to the Vanguard See also Service Information Sheet SPORTS 2 B The latest cylinder Block and Breather Pipe were incorporated at Eng No V 235245E for the Vanguard and at Eng No TS 972E as quoted above for the Sports NOTE These instructions are for information only and do not constitute an authority to carry out modifications at the expense of The Standard Motor Company Lim
4. The Second gear dog teeth are backed off on the over run side on all dog teeth except eight to give a peg drive effect and prevent a tendency to work out of mesh when the gears are tipped under load On earlier gearboxes it was possible with certain combinations of limits to have inadequate engagement on the flank of the dog teeth This condition apart from the crushing and bruising owing to the small bearing area which permitted overdrive load to be carried on all dog teeth allowed the gear to slip out when subjected to any appreciable over run load Increased depth of gear engagement has been obtained by a modified selector shaft Part No 109136 with an altered locating groove but the original selector rod Part No 106046 may be modified as shown in the illustration The extra movement of the 1st mainshaft gear Part No 105628 to engage more fully the Second gear dog teeth will reduce the shrouding of the interlock plungers and synchro mesh balls The effective length of the First gear his been increased in a modified gear under Part No 109137 to allow for this movement It will sometimes be possible to use the original First gear with the new selector shaft if the combination of limits in the box is favourable but if doubt exists as to the possibility of plungers or balls becoming displaced the now lengthened gear should be fitted This Sheet gives Important service Information and shoul

SPORTS 5 E SOLENOID FOR ELECTRICAL CONTROL OF OVERDRIVE Date OCTOBER 1954 Difficulty is still being reported with regard to the entry of water into the Overdrive operating solenoid on Vanguard Models in spite of the exercise of the precautions described in Service Information VANGUARD 2 E A considerable number of complaints have been reported of faulty operation of the Overdrive and these difficulties have upon investigation generally found to have been caused by inadequate water sealing on the Vanguard or incorrect adjustment of the solenoid The correct methods for adjustment and water sealing of the solenoid are shown in the illustration and it is particularly important that these instructions are carefully followed when fitting replacement solenoids With the T R 2 Model the solenoid lever stop is not adjustable The proofing of the rubber grommets mentioned in the Service Scheme may present a little difficulty to Distributors and Dealers and for this reason it has been decided to change the rubber for these to one which will not require water proofing The change of material in the case of Part No 109521 is not accompanied by an alteration of Part No but in the case of Part No 108786 this will now be supplied by our Spares Department under Part No 110868 There have been no reports of water sealing difficulties with the T R 2 Model but the lever setting instructions given in the Service Scheme may be used for this
