Mike,
this what I did when I had my wings off for repair. I used a empty silicon tube, cut down, and cut a good bit of the nozzle off and 12mm rubber tube. It exits through a grommet on the splash guard.

Hi Rich, another possibility could be the non return valve on the servo gone allowing a possible brake fluid ingestion to give a bit of smoke.
Hope you get it sorted.

Hi Guy,
I had my front and rear bumpers, front grille badge, rear bumper number plate lamp holder and fuel cap done by Castle Chrome in Dudley (01384 214429 https://castlechrome.co.uk) nearly 2 years ago for I think £1140.
Not cheap, but I know the parts fitted ok when I took them off and the have done a cracking job, really impressed. the front bumper had a crease in it (from a PO) and you cannot tell where it was.
Regards,
Vince.

Maybe adjuster for damper?

Hi Richard,
2) Castrol LM grease or equivalent.
3) Take the bolt out and put a grease nipple in, grease up, then replace with the bolt or leave the nipple in. You could put a cap on the nipple to keep it clean.

Stuart,
My car has recently come back from a respray. After fitting the wings back on using the 3M sealant do you paint it body colour or just leave the exposed seams black. My 6 is signal red.
regards,
Vince.

Hi All,
Does anyone have a picture showing the outline of where I believe the satin black paintwork should be behind the grill on a TR6. My car is having a respay shortly (signal red), so would like to know. Might as well have it right.
Regards,
Vince.

Thanks for all your replies,
after another couple of of hours last night I gave up and cut a wedge out and squeezed them in and then fitted the cut piece in. Looks ok - you can't see 'the join' and work ok.

Hi all,
Am doing a refurb on my TR6, have renewed the bushes for brake and clutch pedals, how in gods name are the other two done. They are a hard plastic type from Moss. Have tried boiling in a microwave for a few mins to soften them, have tried grease/wd40, in a vice with sockets for the bracket and with a bolt on the bulkhead. Apart from cutting a wedge out of them any ideas please.
Regards,
Vince.

Hi All,
Just found out why my drivers door will not lock, the spring is broken. It is fitted on part No 35 in Moss catalogue (arrowed in picture) part number 712839. Unfortunately it is no longer available, does anyone have a spare one or the control rod surplus to requirements please.
Thanks
Vince.

Hi Stephen,
looks like a short down to earth on the loom somewhere. Can you isolate the side light circuit front/back anywhere by unplugging the relevant wire, then trying a new fuse again. If it's ok then the fault is after that.

Mike,
it could be assembled first with pipes, 'y' piece and container but might be a tad difficult screwing unit to inner wing (hole needs drilling) and sealing around the end of the gutter.
