Triumph Stag Headrest Removal & Refurbishment.
Showing the removal of the headrest, emptying of old foam and refilling with new. Using readily available upholstery foam (1" thick, about £6 per sheet) as opposed to the commercially produced foam inserts. Only special tool you will need to complete the job is a staple gun. This process may also apply to other Triumphs of the era (eg Spitfire and the TR range) and probably other classics fitted with headrests. Hope you find the video helpful if attempting this job.

Does the thread wear out on the vertical link, at any point?
The threads don't usually wear on the vertical link, because the trunnion is a softer metal so wears first. However vertical links have been known to snap at the threads mainly because of water ingress and rusting leading to failure. Another reason to keep the trunnions oiled and the seals replaced!
Excellent. Rebuilding my GT6 suspension and this is a great help.
So glad it helped! Remember to leave the final tightening of all the bolts until the car is back on the ground (with body on etc) to ensure the car sits properly. good luck!
Very helpful. I am currently refurbishing all of my Vitesse Mk2 suspension so this has been helpful, thank you. I will be posting some videos on my channel as I go through the work. Kind regards Paul from 48SPOKES
You're welcome, good luck with the suspension refurb. I am thinking about tackling a rotoflex replacement - would definitely need to video that!
Thanks guys, I'm off to install it now!
You're welcome hope it goes well!
Hi great video, when you screw the new trunnion on how far do you screw it on if you get me - manual says enough to achieve lock to lock steering but roughly how many turns off of fully tight is that approx
Yes you've found the important bit in that the steering must be free to travel from lock to lock, so "backing off" one complete turn would be enough to achieve this. I cant think you'd want any more than this, but its been a while since I did this job so anyone else feel free to chip in!
@@laurelgreentriumph I think some people say 1.5 turns but logically I think one turn would be plenty and equal on each side would be fine - going to renew both at the same time
@@metalman7806 yes I wouldn't argue with 1.5 turns but you wouldn't want any more.
Handy video, you forget how useful headrests are on a car from a safety point, always aware when you drive an older without headrests and seat belts!
Thank you and a great video Paul, Can someone post a Rear Bumper removal video ?
Very useful video, thank you.
You're welcome hope it made the job easier!
Yes but what if companies prefer to use their agency preferred suppliers to find them contractors?
Some companies will prefer the old way of doing things, its true. We are trying to highlight that there is a wave of new companies out there quite happy to engage directly with contractors, including consultancies, start-ups and some of the more "traditional" hirers. A lot of contractors have had bad experiences with agencies, and at last there is another route to hiring for them.
@@laurelgreentriumph I have had shocking experiences with agencies and to the point of frustration. Advertising of false positions to just obtain your CVs or they well try and speculate you to companies for a quick commission. They don't care about candidates, they only care about money. I ran a recruitment business from for 2 years so I know it well.
@@laurelgreentriumph If you can gather some form of proof that your strategy is working then I will hapily sign up. This is my email address adamnoor1978@gmail.com
@@adamnoor3022 I think our numbers speak for themselves 1300+ Contractors signed up 4+ years in business and over 40,000 direct contracts discovered. Check out our testimonials at www.contractspy.co.uk/contract-spy-reviews

Same.
Great video, I have been trying to work out how difficult a job this was going to be and you have certainly put my mind at rest.
That's good to know, good luck with the job!
Thanks for that! Will apply what you've shown to my Spitfire
You're welcome hope it proves useful!
Those torque settings - trunnion wishbone bolt 35-38 ft lbs bottom damper bolt 55-60 ft lbs
Great idea!
Thanks Bill, over 350 contractors think so too!
