The "corrugated" Mini (or any other series A engine) bypass hoses were easier than the original straight ones.

I thought it was some sort of catapult

My gripe with TR shop is not being able to order on-line, I have to call them to order which is usually early Sat morning, although Lukas is very knowledgable about TRs
Cheers
Graeme
I normally send them an email with my requirements, They have my C Card details on file, so unless there is a problem (in which case they ring me) it all works.

Sellotape. ! The only function of the part is to let light in, but keep dust out.
Just re-assemble the meter, Then wrap some sellotape (other brands are available) around the outside, covering the slots.

I have been thinking of linking the 2 X brass pipes to my rocker cover for a while now, peter's photo confirms that it should work.

Yes - it can happen
1. You may be able to smell the petrol
2. Car would be running richer than usual, so would be hunting, or even stalling
Better to dump fuel on the floor than on a hot exhaust manifold

You could consider buying the later float chamber tops which have an extra pipe to take any overflow petrol away.
I change mine over last year, & use some nylon pipe to take any overflow down to just below chassis level.
(That's why I had a spare lid - the other one went to help out another member)

Hi All.
I am selling (for a fellow member) a RHD dashboard, & the aluminium capping which goes above.
Can't do these for free I'm afraid as they are not mine, & should be worth more than a few pence !
anyway here they are:

Had a look, & I have one spare lid - the single pipe one.

Suggest using a drill on the pump, to get pressure build up, if that does not work, then you have to investigate further, if it does then maybe you just did not wait long enough originally when cranking.

Post above sneaked in while I was typing !

+1 I have had some problems with neatsfoot oil as well, from memory it softened the leather to the point that it started to fall apart.
Possibly corrosive ?

Good result Roger, I'm glad you did not go for new carbs, I was thinking that should not be necessary.
Will be nice to see you turn up at our meetings in a TR for a change

" I am a bit relucatant to drive the car much faster, am I being over cautious? "
Yes.
A non-overdrive TR6PI ought to be capable of cruising at the ton all day . . . . . .

I think it's aTR4A

I believe this is quite common, mine does the same. I have tried an alternative cap (plastic) but that did the same. I think the answer is not to fill the reservoir too full, & keep wiping off any spillage.

Does anyone know of a Pay as you go Sim for a tracker that does not need monthly top-ups that expire each month?
I'm sure there used to be sims available that retained unused credit for future months.
Alan
O2 PAYG sims only require topping up when you run out, however, you must make a "chargable call" within each 6 month period or they will switch off the SIM.
You can get it switched back on again, but just make it send a text message every 4 months or so, & all will be well.
I have had my tracker installed for over 2 years now using an O2 PAYG sim, every so often I check to see if the tracker is still working (it always has ) & that satisfies O2 to keep it alive. Have not topped up at all, just put £10 in when I started.

I have had one of these in for 2 + years now, it has always worked when I check it, not monthly fees, just buy a pay as you go SIM (I use an O2 one)
ring the device up, It will send you back a text message with Lat & long, also a link to google maps to show graphicaly where the car is.

Any bike ( as in pedal type) shop will sell inner & outer cable by the metre, then you just have to make up the ends.

My HS6's also have the brass tube. these were purchased from Cox & Buckles back in mid 70's.
the tubes are blanked off with a plastic cap.

Well ?????

+1 it can take up to 40 secs for oil to fill the filter, & all the other places it comes across before getting to the pressure gauge.
Is the rotor in the distributer turning as you crank ? if so then the pump is probably doing it's thing.
May be worth spinning the pump directly with a drill (running backwards). to do this you need to remove the distributer drive shaft.
There is another thread on this going around at present.

I suspect it is a little easier to release to release a row of Tenax fasteners on a TR which is not going anywhere, rather than a yacht which may be rocking around rather.

Could be interested in the rocker cover if chrome is reasonable

I think it could be done, I have done a tractor one before now - it was similar construction. I have also done an original TR 3 one, it involved removing the swaged over end, dismantling, cleaning up the contacts with a smooth file, the re-assembling using araldite to hold the end plate in place - on the car now, & working well.
