  1. Are they the same length? Perhaps it is just the photograph.
  2. TR6 has three earthing points one for each loom . All the front lights earth on a spade connector on the front valance. The tail lights/ fuel pump earth on a spade connector near the NS rear light. The dash earths on a spade in the engine bay under the steering column a couple of inches from the front bulkhead. I ran a heavy earth down the NS of the car connecting all three and into the earth braid on the battery / engine. Simple task, headlight improved on my car and fuel pump was happy.
  3. Does Chrome wrap show every small surface blemish or is the film thick enough to bridge over surface imperfections? Alan
  4. I have CDD on my Stag and TR6. Easy fitting, instant improvement in handling on both cars. Alan
  5. Mine is fitted in the single pipe after the headers combine. The sensor & cable protrude 6^ from the exhaust and when you get under the car and start looking for place to instal the sensor you will find there are not many places that can give you the clearance you need and keep the cable away from snagging. Take a marker pen and tape under the car and wrap the tape around the exhaust pipe in the spot and mark the desired fitting position. I fitted my gauge in the glove box as it is not a gauge you need to look at often once the car is setup and the cable can be slipped around the box
  6. https://motioncontrol.metrol.com/compression-springs/conical-compression-springs.html?product_list_order=price These have a selection if the door spring is no go, perhaps spring No.6735 Alan
  7. If you are replacing a prefilter etc then make life easy in the future by fitting a fuel tap if you don't already have one. Alan
  8. If you screw the large air bleed screw in fully home does the engine stall? At idle all six butterflies should al lbe sealed closed with the only air entering via the adjusting bleed screw which should result in an even tickover. If it is idling roughly then air is entering via one or more butterflies or an air leak, possibly the inlet manifold gasket. Getting all six butterflies sealed closed and then opening together is the tricky bit. My PI never idled smoothly until I bought a second carb airflow meter then worked my way though all cylinders balancing each cylinder in the pair, t
  9. That looks a really nice scenery and such a variety of weather - that makes for a great trip. I'm very jealous. Alan
  10. When I replaced lowered springs with longer sptings the shocks toppped out. I measured the lengths I need and GAZ made me a set to the correct length at the same price as stock length within a couple of weeks . The ride is now excellent, and so, so much better over speed bumps, Alan
  11. The PI is fitted with an automated system to delay starting until cranking has raised the oil pressure. The longer the vehicle is parked the more cranking it needs to refill the injection lines and awaken the oil pump.

  13. Is your exhaust just hot or have you for example ceramic coated the manifold which sends the heat further back down the exhaust?
  14. I too have a set of Green stuff pads back on the shelf after a couple of weeks of use. Now using Mintex 1144 which I recommend to anyone.
