UJ’s arrived late last night, I have to say the quality difference is quite staggering. Nice little job for tomorrow.
Thanks again for all input.

Advise and recommendations wanted, just got my 6 on the road and the vibrations in the driveline are horrendously shocking.
Purchased a kit of 6 from one of our suppliers not sure who was quite a few years ago. I have found three to have excess play.
looking for recommendations for good quality uj’s , don’t want to be doing this again so looking to change all six.
thanks Mark.

After more years than I care to remember, she made her first road appearance since the late 80’s. I have a few teething problems to sort and some miles under her belt before we make the trip to Malvern. Took the wife on a short trip down to the local pub for a celebratory pint .

Hi Pete,
what would be the name of that type of handle shown in the box. It would be nice to make a proper job of my compressor.

Something very familiar about that giant wing nut Roger.

A guess , but pull liners out a block.

There are a few new old stock RHP bearings about one of which I’ve recently fitted to my TR4.
When the new bearing was unpacked it felt a bit notchy. I put this down to the old grease settling and going hard in storage. A few minutes with a heat gun had the grease re distributed and the bearing spinning smoothly.
It’s only done 300 miles so far but time will tell.Hi Andrew, mine was really notchy but very noisy, now that I’ve cleaned it I’m sure it will be ok to use once regreased.

You can't open the bearing,
so how did you find it "contained" metal swarf?
My mistake cleaned the original bearing also, I think that’s were the contamination came from. These RHP bearings aren’t 100% sealed , so cleaning out and repacking shouldn’t be a problem.

Hi Mark,
was the noise due to the bearing and not the GB itself?
I see that the Moss bearing GRB211 is apprx £20. I'm sure I paid twice this from them about five years ago. and my RHP is working well.
Revington sell this https://www.revingtontr.com/search.asp?for=clutch release bearing&cartype=tr6cp and more like the right money.
Roger
Hi Roger, definitely the bearing. I’ve ordered a new one, but I’ve also cleaned out the old new one thoroughly with petrol and an airline runs whisper quite. Contemplating repacking with grease.

Hi Mark,
I went for the Revingtons H/D release bearing with the phosphorus bronze carrier, very happy with it. If I recall correctly the bearing was marked up as Toyo.Hi Kev , I’ve heard the toyo bearing works best with b&b clutch, but makes the laycock much harder.

Looking for recommendations for clutch release bearing , had the box out again due to excessive noise. Found the new rhp bearing contained particles of metal swarf .

I used a product similar to this, used it on all the brake joints and fuel system.

Yes 69 , I have a set outside going rusty . Previous owner had cut the lugs off and filled smooth and fitted the later style centre black hub caps. I have to admit I didn’t realise they were earlier wheels for some time.

I painted the rear of my six with black 2k, didn’t realise the masking had a split and resulted in overspray all over the lower valance, Sean recommended thinners and have to say worked a treat.

Not too much, that’s why they don’t need the aux pipe feed from the block.

Cheers Mick, I was worried I didn’t have enough, oil at all rockers but not in great supply.

How much oil should I be seeing around the rocker valves?

Except they are generally listed as specific dowel bolts not dowels as in the video. Mine on a TR6 were a tight fit so act as dowels.
