I agree with Stuart, mine is a very old Italian Fini 2.5hp with 50 litre tank, 9cfm and is not really up to the job, a lot of waiting for pressure to build up. Get the most powerful you can afford. Bill

Thanks Rob, 35mm sq it is.

I am thinking of installing a battery cut off switch, I currently have 16 sqmm cable connecting the battery should I use a larger cross section cable for the longer cabling? Thank you. Bill

Hi Keith, when I was restoring my TR6 I bought one of these, great piece of kit. I even managed to sandblast wheels in it. https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/heavy-duty-blast-cabinet/ Cheers Bill

Hi Matt, Classic Car magazine price guide TR6 good luck with negotiation Bill

Hi Jonny This is my car, the wheels resprayed with an Audi silver, unfortunately I can't find the paint code I used, but was the colour of my 2002 Audi A4 Sport which I had at the time.

Here's mine between fan and heater knobs. A neat solution I think. Bill

Sorry Guys, as you point out my fault, post corrected, Thank you for pointing out my error. Bill

The car was not towed on the rear wheels, the AA Guy locked the steering and put rear wheels on the cradle and towed the car on the front wheels. Bill

About 2 years ago my differential packed up about 40 miles from home. I rang DAS and the AA answered, told the girl I would need a pickup truck and she said it would be at least 2 hours before they could get to me. I then rang my wife to tell her I would be late etc. While I am on the phone an AA van arrived. Blimey that was quick" I said. "We fight over classic cars" he replied. I explained my problem and he said he needed to have a look, after confirming my diagnosis he said I would need a pickup "How long will that take to arrive" I asked. "Not long" he said with a grin and proceeded to low

Thank you Guys for the information. It appears the new compound is more for track use. 'MRM 1801 (FR) Replacing M1144 road applications MRM1801 is a new medium friction compound specifically developed for performance road and light track day use. Typical applications include: Performance Road Cars, Track cars utilising OEM brake calipers' But I did find a supplier selling M1144 pads at a reasonable price. Thanks again Bill

I was interested to read the glowing reports of improved braking with Mintex M1144 brake pads and thought I would treat myself to a set. I Googled Mintex suppliers and either got outrageous prices or confusion of the Mintex type. Would the M1144 pad users be kind enough to let me know where these can be bought at a reasonable price and the part number if possible for a 1973 TR6 CR. Thank you Bill

Hi Guys My new scissor lift has arrived, the operating instructions state that the centre of gravity of the car must be positioned over the centre of the lift. Does anyone know the position of the centre of gravity of a TR6? I suppose the position will vary due to amount of fuel and items in the boot. Thanks for your help Bill
