Hi All,
Right my body off resto is ready for respray, what do you think the average cost should be ?
All the rusty parts are gone, I am going to grit blast the surface rust with silver sand, so just need etch priming, contouring around the rear scuttle, seam sealing, sound deadening, soft two pack under sealing, and then finishing that includes all the wings boot lid, bonnet etc.
Had 1 quote off £5000, I thought £2500 to £3000 would be nearer ???

Yes just undo the bolts if they are not rusted up too much.

Thanks guy's, it looks like I will have to find a cabinet maker / furnature restorer locally here in East Suffolk.
Not worth the hassle of D.I.Y. for £40 odd quid ha ha anything for an easy life
Picked up my thrust washers from the post office today from Scott Helms took just 9 days from order to delivery not bad.

Good morning guys, I need some advice / guidance re my crank end float.
I am getting ready to put my engine back on the chassis but before I do this thought I should measure the end float as the engine is on an engine stand with the sump off ( before I started my resto the engine was running as sweet as a nut )anyway yesterday I measured the end float and found it to 0.008" which I believe is the top limit.
Do you think I should have some thrust washers manufactured to reduce this float and if so who would you recomend I get to do this ?
Many thanks in advance

Stuart,
Where is the best place to purchase a new loom for the TR6 with relays for head lamps and fuel pump already accounted for, and a decent fuse box ??
I will need one in a few months when I start putting mine back together.
Many thanks

Hi Guys,
Two TR6's came up for auction at:
Clark & Simson, Auction Centre, Campsea Ashe, Suffolk, IP13 0PS.
Last week, reg: XBK 7L (Green) & JHP 956N (Red) I believe they both made about £10500 which I think was very cheap.
Does anybody have any info on them ??
Kind regards

Hi all,
Forgive me but I am having a blonde moment ( sorry all you blondes I don't mean to be chauvinistic Lol).
I have just cleaned up my old coil springs ready for painting and as far as I can remember (I removed them 18 months ago) the short pair are the front ones, the long pair are the rear.
Is that correct ?????
In anticipation
Nigel

Hi All, as you may or may not know I am in the process of a body off full resto.
Before I put the body back on the chassis I am toying with the idea of removing the old trailing arm brackets ( which I have lovingly repainted ha ha ) and fitting fully adjustable brackets to make Toe and Camber adjustments easier.
Where in your opinion is the best place in the UK to purchase these.
Kind regards

Thanks Guys, I have a Gunson mixture instrument so will check it at the weekend.
I have just read a bit in the Moss catalogue in there perfomance page it says "Damper springs for SU carbs, when fitting free flow filters the damper springs should be changed for the heavier 8oz yellow springs" interesting I didn't do that I will order a pair, I did change the waxstat jets for standard fixed jets.
Something else to try

Hi Peter it's a 2 ltr 7 with a 2nd stage tuned head, I regularly top up the dash pots and the timing seems to be fine, ticks over at 800-900 rpm and dosn't hesitate when I accelerate !
This was a recon engine from S & S so is a good lump, the only difference from the normal set up is I fitted K & N filters, on the original triumph filter there was a plastic pipe that went to the manifold, this was removed and a blank fitted, could this cause a problem ?, there was nowhere on the k&N filters to fit this pipe to.

Hi guys,
When I am driving my TR7 in slow moving traffic say 20mph in either 2nd or 3rd I am experiencing the car chucking or hesitating if you get my drift sort of back and forth !!
Is this caused by play in the diff / prop or is it something to do with timing ?
Driving in any other conditions is fine good acceleration etc
It also does it when I am deaccelerating.
Your words of wisdom would be much appreciated !! :-)

Hi Guy,s I've seen referrences to "Fluted Stud Extractors" on here.
I've managed to snap a couple of studs holding the water pump housing to the block !!!!
Years ago I used easy outs with little success (they normally break)
I've seen some advertised with a slow twisted flute or straight flute.
Could one of you experts please enlighten me as to which are best and if possible the make.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Out in my DHC 7 Tuesday 16:30 and got caught in down pour !!!
bloody roof leaked along the seams and windscreen along the top edge, I got soaked 
may as well have got out and danced in the rain 
Does any one know of a goog seam / stitch sealer, and I suppose I may as well have the windscreen taken out and resealed by Autoglass or similar.

Dig your self a pit much much better standing / sitting at the correct height rather than laying on your back, never looked back since I dug mine, only looked up

Well my TR7 failed because it only had an interior mirror, had to fit just one mirror on the drivers door !!!!
