heard a clicking sound and found the cause

[regularman]

Its on my 77 and I kept hearing a noise at a certain engine speed and it took forever for me to figure it out. The nut is missing from the crankcase pulley. I wonder how the Previous owner managed to leave that off? Moss wants 17 bucks for it. Anyone got a spare one of these lying around?

that a..1275 or a 1500?

Let me look tomorrow Kim.

Sorry, no have.

'77 would be the 1500.

Kim, post over in the Triumph section and ask for the Spitfire part. You will need a honking big socket to install it.

Good Idea. I got the socket as long as the bolt head is under 3".

I think the socket is officially something like 1-13/16 but don't quote me.

I saw your post in the Triumph section. The first reply about Hap may pan out but I don't think Hap has worked much on Triumph engines.

I don't have a spare or I'd be happy to give you one. If this board doesn't work out let me know and I'll make some calls.
