I've been following this as I may need to replace both my ball joints and I'm confused as I see Moss offer 3 TBP options, one of which has part number QHQSJ100 at £22.20 - is that not the QH item?
Regards
Steve

Sorry Tony - already gone!

Sorry - SOLD
I have one of the famous Everco 74648 heater valves available (new) if anyone wants one, brought over from the States by a friend as I have bought one to fit to my TR6 and replace the standard part.
Will sell at cost (£22.34) plus P&P or bring up to Malvern - will be there Sat & Sun.

Hi SJL
Not sure how far you want to travel, but I've had good experience with both Crown Classics in St Margarets (Richmond) and Rees Bros in Aldershot. Both close to railway stations.

A slightly delayed follow up to my post - the bend in the pivot arm has done the trick, with both visors staying up at motorway speeds on the M25 yesterday I attach a picture of the passenger side visor before re-fitting in case anyone is interested.

Stuart - you're right - it engages enough to stay in, but could be better - but I do still need to do some adjusting (see below).
Stef - That makes sense, but both TR Shop and Moss seem to sell the same visor to cover the Spitfire, TR5 and TR6!
DRD - Driver's side one stays up OK, but passenger side one drops down while driving, so my job this afternoon is to put a bit more of a bend in the pivot arm (it already has a slight bend in it from before) - suspect this will be a game of trial and error. I've seen reports of people squeezing the visor instead to tighten the inner tube, but I can't see how to do that without damaging the vinyl.

I have recently had to replace my sun visors and thought it would be worth sharing the following information & pictures on different visors to help others - hopefully the attached pictures help show the issue.
My original visor is the middle one of 3 in the attached picture - as you can see the top visor (from TR Shop and same shape as the one supplied by Moss) is a different shape, while the bottom one (from John Skinner) is the same as my original visor. I tried fitting the TR Shop visor, but the indent on the right hand side means the short inner pivot bar (not shown) does not reach the rubber retainer clip once fitted into the visor - I would have had to move the clip to use the visor, resulting in an extra hole in the windscreen frame, or slide the visor along the main pivot bar - but then the visor would hit the mirror. I did a search online and found the John Skinner visor - the same shape as my original and with fitted inner pivot bar. This engages with the retainer clip OK and you can also see how it drops down without fouling the mirror.
Hope this is of help to someone.

I have a fairly standard 1972 CP Pi up in Weybridge if that helps and an easy drive up the M3 from Camberley - or happy to take a run down to you one weekend if free now the weather is improving! As others have said, the brown book is invaluable, as is the Moss catalogue. You're not too far from Rees Bros in Aldershot and they regularly have 6's in their workshop and might be happy for you to pop over and take a look?

Hi John
I'm considering doing the same as you but not sure if the T-Trac pattern will suit the 6 - any chance you can post some pictures or I can PM you my email address?
Thanks
Steve

Magnecor +1, yet I also agree with Roger - on both my 6 and previous cars, replacing a mixed set of leads with a matching set has been worth very penny and should be the first step.

Hi Steve
Moss now have this part back in stock (ZKC401) for the princely sum of £5!

I fitted the following under my dash to the bottom of the glovebox on my TR6 - it gives 2 USB ports and 2 standard 12v lighter sockets. You will need to get the wire to wire it in though:

Thanks guys - raided my bits box and unf nut fitted.

Hi
Does anyone know the size and thread of the nut on the end of the speedo trip meter reset cable, or know where I can get one? The cable works fine, it is just getting very frustrating to have to fiddle around under the dash every time I want to reset the trip meter!
Picture attached showing cable in its' bracket without nut.
Thanks

If you PM me your email I'll send you pictures. Mine is 14cm long and I actually got it from Revingtons, although I'm sure the coat hanger will do the job just fine, and cheaper.

I got insurance today from TRRI for Saturday's circuit session no problem.

I know this post is a bit old, but I wanted to say thanks to Ivor for the hints on the serrated washers and the order for sticking the velcro - made my job a lot easier.
Also, I wanted to add another hint - use a small amount of silicon grease to get the seals into the rails - made the world of difference.
Thanks

Hi John
Good question - My view is that it is more sound/vibration deadening, rather than sound proofing, killing the unwanted vibration noise and letting the aural delights of the exhaust, engine (and all those other squeaks and rattles) come through, but I can see why it may not be for everyone. I certainly felt it made a worthwhile improvement - plus kept me busy on those rainy days before Xmas....
Cheers

Hi Barry
I have just used Silent Coat 2mm to replace the old (original?) black sound deadening pads on the body over rear axle, floor pan behind seats, rear wheel arches, inside rear wings behind boot trim and spare wheel space - it has made a noticeable difference. Difficult to describe, but less tinny vibration noise is best I can do. I used the pack of 10 tiles (187 x 265mm) from Sound Deadening Shop. I did a bit of research and Silent Coat was best £/ft2 I found. I plan to do the front footwells and bulkhead next.
If you pm me I can send photos.
Cheers

Thanks for posting - just show the value of the forum. Like you, I had floppy handles, and I thought they were all like that! So, quick trip to Moss on way home today and I now have 2 wavy washers to install over the bank holiday...
Cheers
