Hi Rob Thanks for your thoughts on my problem, I didn't realise that the meter had minimal draw. I have just tried to measure the output ampage and it shows zero! The stabilisers are slightly different to each other, one came from TRGB awhile ago and the new one from the MGOC. Neither have an earth terminal so earth through the mounting plate, they are the TR6 type that are fixed to the back of the speedo. It looks like a return trip to the MGOC which is a pain because the quick route is closed with the flooding. George

I have fitted a TR4 temperature guage to my TR3 and have a posative earth voltage stabiliser connected with 12v to the B terminal and the guage connected to the I terminal. The guage will work when connected directly to a 12v supply but not when connected to the voltage stabiliser. So obviously the stabiliser is dud, a new stabiliser is now fitted with the same result, I've connected a dedicated earth to the stabiliser body and still no luck. Bench testing both stabilisers my meter shows an output from the I terminal that is 2v less then the input at the B terminal but when connectin

I used methylated spirit to flush the system. You can get a big tin of it from screwfix for not very much and then once flushed it can be used to light your bonfire George

I have a tachometer in with Speedograph Richfield at the moment. I was told two weeks turn around which I thought was reasonably George

Can also double up as a radio aerial 1970s style George

A pair of wedge type sidescreens The RHS screen is in good usable condition, requires only the 4 press studs. LHS screen is in very poor condition and will require rebuilding £75 O.N.O. +postage or collect from near Huntingdon Please send PM for more details and contact information George

Thanks Stuart Charging a fortune for postage seems to be a theme at the moment, Moss wanted £15 of a small delivery when I ordered from them last week. George

Hi Stuart Do you have a source for these inserts? George

That gives the dash a touch of class A couple of the quirks on my dash that will go this winter are the TR6 temperature guage, the choke knob and the knob on the fan over ride switch which will be changed from the current heater fan knob to one that matches the light switch George

After trawling through photos on t'interweb I think you are right. The operating rod is also modified having a thread to screw the ally knob on to. I rather like it so it's going to stay George

I did somthing similar on my TR6. I replaced the single filament bulb holder on the reversing lights with a double and using a white and red LED now have rear fog lamps. George

I have been doing a few tidy up jobs on my 1960 TR3A and after 8 years of ownership have noticed the knob for the scuttle vent is aluminium in place of the normal black plastic thing that matches the rest of the switches. Has anyone seen this before? Is it possibly somthing from another model or maybe an after market tweak? George

Jason Wright services Anthony Hamiltons cars so I am sure that they will be 100% right, but yes expensive George

Being near Lewis I bet you can't wait foe Guy Fawkes night George

Thanks Bob

Thanks for the fuel guage tip Bob. I think someone I know has a TR3 one going spare George

Bob Did you convert your capillary type guage to electric or go for a TR4 one? I did briefly consider fitting the inards of my TR6 guage upside down into a non working capillary guage that I have, but realised it would be working backwards. The other downside of the capillary type is the bulb quickly becomes stuck in the cylinder head, so any head or dashboard work then has a potential extra complication George

I have just been charged £15 postage by Moss for the flimsy plastic sidescreen window and a plug for the jack hole! Then the delivery driver couldn't be bothered to come out to the small village where I live so dropped it at a centre 10 miles away. To be fair to Moss they resent the order by a different courier and refunded most of the £15 when I spoke with them. Is not £15 about €18 maybe it's a new standard charge? George

Hi Bob It's actually for my TR3 which has a TR6 guage with the shield removed but it looks a bit odd because the needle points up. I thought electric as opposed to capillary because the car is setup that way already. It's all part of crossing off of the long list of niggling little faults with the car George

I'm looking for a Tr4 electrical water temperature guage. It's the type with the needle pointing down I don't mind if it's flat or domed glass or even no glass Please send a PM if you have one going spare George

I suspect someone has been tinkering with the folders and muddled the links George

Bit of an odd thing today, I have a bookmark for Alex Inn on my tablet which works fine but to access other pages by using the Forums button I get an error message. I expect some changes have been made during maintenance and the Forums button was missed during the system checking George
