  1. when I ordered my TR6 new in 1973 on BL' s friends and family scheme there was an option of having Dunlop SP Sort or Michelin XAS. I did not have that choice because BL had big trouble with the SP Sport tires breaking up on the German Auto bahns. So I got XAS I was very happy with them and they lasted a long time and gave good road holding but they were very noisy on certain road surfaces. Bruce.
  2. My advice is do not use a .70 bore size M/C only use a .75 as based on my own experience? Also is the clevis pen hole and M/C yoke in the clutch pedal oval? I bushed mine with a marine bronze bush 40 years ago and it has still very little play in it. Bruce.
  3. Was the car originally registered in the UK? if so do you know the reg number? If so apply for a V5! As that will prove that tax was originally paid! But the big BUT is did the original owner claim duty draw back when it was exported? In my experience you will probably be stopped by HM customs for a vehicle check when disembarking because you do not display a UK number plate and they see It is RHD. Have you got any of the original documentation? Bruce.
  4. I did a trial test on a Vickers hardness M/C. It appears to me that the shaft was case harden( 50+VPN) and the hardness layer was not very thick maybe under 007" thick. If Moss are selling shafts that are not heat treated i.e.natural, this will be another job for Roger. I have not replaced my original shaft but it is worn.

      Thanks for that information Bruce. Im the one thats currently selling a spare rocker shaft complete with rockers on Ebay- after what you have told me if it doesnt sell this week i will keep it and refurb the rockers as there is hardly any play in the shaft - i cant believe that after having 5 people watching it for the past week that no one even bidded on it- perhaps they think its junk like most of what is sold on the bay but ive never sold junk - who knows anyway once again thank you very much for the information.

      Best Wishes
