      ANDY’S NEW LIST OF TRACTION SPARE PARTS AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 2023

      3 MAJOR ITEMS FIRST!
      3 speed traction gearbox, rebuilt by the maestro himself, Roger Williams (SCD) of Beverley.
      This gearbox was in first class condition and took it to him to have the new 10×31 crown wheel and
      pinion fitted and set. However, much to my surprise (and some annoyance) he bucketed every
      bearing, replaced all with new bearings and even new synchromesh cones! Al this cost a small
      fortune, but the end result once I fitted it was well worth, -quiet, fast and powerful, absolutely great.
      I ran this gearbox for about 1500 miles, really to prove it before taking Roger’s advice and fitted the
      4-speed converted D gearbox which is still in the car. It is a really good box, simply great!

      4 SPEED D GEARBOX CONVERTED FOR USE IN A TRACTION
      THIs gearbox again was converted and rebuilt by the same Roger Williams and was the spare for my
      own if ever needed. It has never been fitted or run and is now for sale.
      D ENGINE FOR FITTING TO A TRACTION! These engines have the great advantage over the perfo one
      in that it has shell bearings at both big-ends and at main bearings which of course have much tighter
      clearances and longevity and much cheaper to repair or overhaul if necessary. It was fitted with new
      pistons and liners, new shell bearings throughout, new oil pump etc. and no cylinder head
      meantime, but can be fitted with either a perfo head, of better still, an 11D head. Of course the alloy
      original D head can be fitted but very few would want the hassle and inconvenience of that! It too
      has been run for about a thousand miles and is now for sale!

      LIST OF PARTS!
      ENGINE BAY!
      Set of 4 D conrods. They can be exchanged for existing conrods in Perfo engines and of course take
      shell bearings. The 11D engines have them fitted as standard.

        Many members will know that Andy Burnett has amassed an impressive collection of Traction parts over many years, including a lot of Slough items. Andy is now having a (another) clearout and sent me his list. He is listing the parts in the classified section of F-P but I thought I would post his list here as well.

        The parts are listed in groups which relate to where they are located Chez Burnett – they are not grouped according to what they are. So if you are looking for something specific you will have to search the whole list. Contact Andy if you are interested in anything – email: sheilandyb@gmail.com.

          Hi Tim,

          The valve control is a Citroen advance/retard dash lever, I made the ali bracket and got a local Trophy firm to engrave the legend and arrows. I thought it looked in keeping. In my set-up the water is pumped out of the head towards the radiator header tank. I have T’ed off to the heater at that point, so that it gets hot water as soon as its hot. The inline t/stat is next in line with 3 x 6mm bleed holes drilled to allow some circulation, then the water gets into the header tank. If the heater valve is closed all the flow goes through the radiator.

          I find that the car is toasty even down to 5 degC,  a friend traveling with me recently complained he was too hot, I take this as a success. The only annoyance is that the wire winding on the heating pipes in the Clayton heater, vibrate at certain speeds, which I find irritating. I am gradually packing them with pieces of leather to reduce the buzz.

          Enjoy the heat, oh and avoid the salt!

          Jack

            Hi Tim,

            I fitted a 12v Clayton to my 1950 TA about 3 years ago, it is a great heater. I used gfn T’s and fittings and an inline T/Stat in the top hose beyond the heater T.

            There is a control valve in the flow hose which has a Citroen based control below the dash. I used a Smiths rheostat as a switch and fan speed controller.

            I remove the T/Stat in warmer months as a precaution.

              I’ve a Clayton six volt heater, which I want to fit in the Normale. However, I’ve only the vaguest idea how to fit it, despite having had one (25 years ago!) in a Traction. I’m reasonably handy with copper pipe, and a drill, but I’d be glad if someone with a heater could show me how to?  Ta very much, Tim

                As a Traction novice I am asking a lot of questions that may have previously been asked.  Along with my new heater I shall install a water temperature gauge in an accessible place on a hose.  However, reading through back copies of the FP there was concern about oil pressures.  I would like to monitor this so any help would be gratefully received.  If there is any engineering involved it does not present a problem.  Thanks again.

                    Hi Garrett, I plumbed my Clayton heater similar to Jack, fixing it to the bulkhead using the bolts already there. The double hoses were then covered with spare matching carpet, held in place with narrow cable ties, 440DA52C-86ED-4530-B11D-09C5D31BC79C6E8CB5C3-39BC-45E5-AD1B-B1FF4E726930(which sink into the carpet) this blends in with the interior carpet and is hardly noticeable. The cable ties can be easily cut, should you experience a leak at the heater.

                      Hi Garrett, I fitted a heater and this was my plumbing arrangement. I bought ‘T’ hose fittings to put into the flow and return from the water pump, a valve to shut off the flow to the heater which is mounted on the side pontoon and only just visible in the picture. I used a Clayton heater, still available, which has a better heat output than the original Smiths version with two doors. I found that having a variable rheostat on the fan speed was useful, the heat output can become too much. I fitted air bleeds in the smaller hoses in the cabin, but they turned out to not be necessary. If you would like more detailed photos please let me know. I got hold of a Citroen advance control lever, which I have mounted below the dash to turn the heater on and off.

                        Hi there fellow members, I was going to install a smiths type heater in my car. Does anyone have any tips/advice on how and where to tap into the cooling system for the flow and return pipes ? Thanks in advance, Garrett.

                          Hi Joseph

                          I’m assuming you meant to say water pump, attached pictures shows the outlet to the heater  and the temp transmitter as fitted to the water pump mount housing rather than the actual pump as I suggested in my first post, hope this helps. you can also see how the inline stat is secured just above the outlet with a clip and heater return is just tee’ed into the bottom hose via a control valve.

                            I used a thermostat housing from a Rover fitted in the top hose. It has the advantage of a bypass hose which I have routed through a heater and may help if the thermostat jams.

                            Cheers RichardDSCN2509DSCN2508

                                you can get thermostats that fit into the top hose, I also drilled and tapped the water pump housing  to take a 1/2″ hose adaptor which feeds the cab heater, with a stat fitted it speeds up the heater output as its not circulating around a cold radiator until stat opens.

                                  After thinking about it (with the heater on in the garage this time) I realised adding shims increases the end float. I need to reduce it and therefore it’s thrust bearing or surface wear.

                                  Many thanks for the replies. I’ll carry on cleaning and painting!
