Hi Neil,

 

Not my problem........they approached me I was more than prepared to pay the correct price, otherwise I wouldn't have the job done in the first place.

Hi guys as said I have found some steel wheels, the reason I wanted them is I have at the moment a set of origonal minilites on the car that I need to refurb, I believe painting is the way forward.

[Stuck clutch plates]

Hi Guys, I've been away from the old pc for a few days so only just read your ideas, yes it is road legal I actually wanted to use it while my truck was having a service so the wife had to walk while I borrowed hers lol.

 

I have as yet not tried to free it up again but will try again this week and let you know what happened

 

Thanks for all your replies.

[Seat slide assembly]

Another silly question but the seat slide assemblies on my 74 TR6 are painted silver, I am about to refurb them and need to know if this is the correct colour ? should they be black ?

 

Kind regards

[Enviro-strip]

Hi Simon,

 

They bake everything first to loosen the old paint, underseal etc, then it is dipped for rust removal, then it is dipped again in an inhibitor, then it is 2 pak etch primed.

Looks good Graham - the guy who picked my bits up was very helpful, he even took some pics of the shell being put into the trailor and apparently they photo the whole process for your records Brill

[Windscreen Frame]

Hi All,

 

Firstly a very happy and prosperous New Year to all at TRR.

 

I am refurbing my wind screen frame and wanted to pose the following question:

is it best to replace the old vinyl / plastic inner trim with like for like or would it be best to use a crinckle finish paint ?

I also notice in the parts catologue the mention plastic trim finisher for the outside !!! my frame didn't have this so should it be there ? the car is 1974 PI REG: NBW 576P.

 

Many thanks

 

Nigel

[storing engine block]

When I was an apprentice instrument technician a million years ago we used to apply a mixture of vasalene and oil that the instructors supplied for keeping our metal test pieces rust free.

 

I'm sure we've all got some vasalene to hand lol

[Multimeter?]

You won't go far wrong with one of the FLUKE range

[Complete respray]

Tom,

 

One does realise this it will probably take me another 2 monthes at least to prepare before the finishing coat not the first time I have stripped a car for painting and probably won't be the last, I find it very theraputic in a strange way just be glad when I can enjoy driving it again.

 

Nigel

[Complete respray]

I have spent the last 12 monthes preparing the tub and panels to a pristen condition !! and it is all now ready for to have all the old paint and any surface rust removed, hence why INVIRO-STRIP are carrying this out ( I have removed all the old under seal and sound deadening ).

 

INVIRO-STRIP are also going to 2pk etch prime.

 

I will seam seal and afix the new sound deadening and a local paint shop will carry out any contour fettling that need doing (probably only on the rear scuttle to match the boot lid).

 

So what are you on about Tom !!!!!!

 

Nigel is my name not PO
