[tr4 fitting rear plexiglass window]

Hi

Please help brought a Moss rear window frame with a plexiglass window. The frame is on fine the plexiglass is way to big and has to be cut to size. knowing how much to cut off is my first worry I've cut it to meet the inner lip of the frame. The other problem is the rubber seal Moss provide is to big, even if I push it as far as possible into the frame there is still a small loop at the bottom. Im at my wits end I fitted front window screen with know problem. if window was right size and seal fitted proply there would be know problem. It's also a lot of money for the kit. 

Regards Phil

Hi please could someone help  have just installed my Jtype box into my 4a. I have wire harness from Moss, just want to confirm where the wire goes as the wiring diagram confused me. I belive the single yellow and purple wire attached to the selinod. The wire joins another yellow purple wire onto one spade not sure where that goes. There is then another double wire yellow and green onto another spade not sure where that goes. Two wires yellow and green and yellow and purple individual. Last single wire yellow and green with single push connector. 

Three relays on box two on the top one on side each with twin spade connectors 

Thanks Philip 

[Tr4a light switch]

Hi I've got Tr4a 65 in reconstruction it has main beam dip button on floor happy with that. Light switch on column was missing so I've just purchased new old stock steering column switch that clicks up and down once (side lights?) should I have on off switch on dash, not really sure what setup for this 4a is. 

Thanks Phil

Hi

I have laycock tr6 J type gear box, trying to turn the main shaft but it turns slightly either way then stops against something. I can take out of gear and spin the propshaft end but main shaft again is locked. Put in gear can't turn propshsft end and can feel the movement on mainshaft but no turn. Have overdrive fitted, also had top plate off all looks good. Is it the overdrive unit stopping this via a clutch and how do I release cheers.????

Can anyone please tell me what size tap I need to re thred the holes. The studs have a larger thread into the block, thanks. Orderd 3/8ths UNC but these were to big, luckily they fit holes for manafold

Hi

Rebuilding my Tr4a confused with all the different posts and comments wether to keep the current crank case breather set up, Or look at oil catch can, can't see good diagram where the hoses connect from catch can. Can see one hose connects to rocker cover breather, but can't see where second hose connects to. Oil catch cans look quite expensive, any suggestions cheers 

[TR4a studs]

Hi think there 16” the tyres only had a very thin tread layer for the salt flats

Ok cheers I’m replicating the Kas Kastner salt flat TR4a, I contacted him for more photos of his car which he kindly sent. His F GT had standard steel wheels. I will swap over the studs for the longer ones to take the steels thank.
