[What’s this?]

Maybe it’s a worm axle that has fallen out of an adjustable spanner.

(Not that any self-respecting TR owner would admit to having an adjustable spanner.)

MK2 seats with roll bar in mine too.

Roll bar seems to be mounted in same position as Peters.

 

[What’s this?]

Found this on garage floor when working on TR6 throttle bodies yesterday.

Extended grub screw about 22mm long.

Looks familiar but I can’t think where from.
Not sure whether it’s from TR6?

I had a similar thing recently, turned out to be a failed relay

Marshalling at Snetterton today.

Great to see a TR4 dominate a 40 mins race from start to finish.

 

[TR6 Wire Wheels]

5 x wire wheels and mounting hubs removed from my TR6.

All in good useable condition but could do with a repaint if you want perfection.

Tyres are in excellent condition having covered less than 5000 miles, but are 10 years old.

Studs and nuts included but a few nuts were damaged when I removed them.

Collection only, due to size and weight, from Colchester area.

£250

pm me or call 07415357753 if interested

I can send pictures if required, too large to add here.

After 10 years, it's definitely time for new tyres. I ran Pirellis on my GT6 and after 5-6 years they were awful in the wet, still plenty of tread depth but the rubber had hardened and wet grip was poor.

Yes, deep down I know there’s no choice really

I have 15x6 Revolutions on my TR6, with 195/65-15 tyres. I'm happy with this set up, though these wheels were on the car when I bought it years ago, and have to admit I've never driven a '6 on standard wheels and tyres. The front wheels needed 1/4" spacers and longer studs from Moss to clear the suspension on full lock.

Whatever wheel you opt for, choose your tyres carefully. Go for a quality tyre brand and look at the rolling radius compared to standard, as this will have an effect on overall gearing and speedo accuracy. The 195/65-15 Bridgestones on my car are close to the original rolling radius and offer excellent grip dry or wet, with decent ride.

Hope this helps.

Nigel

Thanks Nigel

Revolutions are one of the options that I’m considering.

Currently running Pirelli’s. I’ve had them on there for 10 years but only done around 5000 miles. 
 

Next dilemma is whether to throw them away or reuse them... Whole new can of worms...

I've got JBW ones that are 6j, but I have 185 tyres. These fit fine. I guess if you're running 165 tyres then 5.5j would be better.

Thank you. Currently running 195 65 R15’s which I’m quite happy with so thinking of opting for 6J

[Alloy Wheels]

Thanks for the replies so far.

Rimmers, for example, offer alloys in both sizes. I was really hoping to hear what size people had gone for and how they fitted.

[Alloy Wheels]

I’m looking at fitting some alloy wheels to my TR6.

There seems to be a choice between 5.5Jx15 and 6Jx15. 
 

What are people’s recommendations and experiences?

Hi Dave, 

Yes,I was there yesterday, had drier days.
 

User name dates back to a yellow Westfield that I built before i got my Tr.

Rules are rules, so well done on your 3rd place.

[CSCC Snetterton Sat 15th August]

Great race David. I was marshalling there today, good to see TR’s finish 1st and 3rd.
