[TR250 bonnet stripes]

Thanks Mark and Stuart,

I will have to take the trim to the body shop to get sprayed along with the body.

I must have have misread about the trim not being painted. Is the TR4's that don't have it sprayed.

Mark,

Thanks for the info.

I see that the stripe goes over the beading but I thought that otherwise the beading wasn't painted over. Both these seem to show the beading painted body colour.

I was going to get vinyl stripes for my TR250 but my bodywork guy has said that he likes doing stripes. Does anyone have a modern paint code for these?

i assume these do not cover the stainless piping, is this correct?

Thanks

I used an adjustable reamer and ebay pins. Old pins came out fairly easily with butane torch .No play now.

 

[Saloon J type gearbox in TR250]

Hi Harry,

i don't know if the gearbox is dolomite or another saloon/car but from memory the input shaft was the same length but smaller diameter and finer splines.The end of the shaft fitted the bearing in the flywheel/crank.

i have GT6/Dolomite clutch, TR250/TR6 pressure plate and release bearing.

Apart from drilling the gearbox output flange to match the prop I have everything else as TR250 except converted to RHD. The output flange still needs minor machining to fit over the spigot on the propshaft flange. My intention was to get an MOT first and then carry on with work as I applied for a UK  registration.

Everything has gone together OK , ie gearbox in but I had a good offer to respray so I haven't connected the hydraulics yet to see if it works.

When it comes back I will connect up and let you know.

Regards

Eddie

If it is repairable it would be of use to me.

Could possibly collect , I live in Stockport.

I assume this would apply also apply to a perspex rear screen.

Are there any downsides to a perspex screen?

Thanks

Hi Rich,

A stainless one, no logo would be fine if it fits.

Jerry,

i am going to Moss's to get the clips so I will find out if I have the right ones.

[TR250 door trim]

Thanks Tush and Mark,

It is only the doors. The wings have the holes drilled in them.

[TR250 door trim]

I suspect the doors on my car are TR6 because of the inner pull handle and lack of holes for the stainless outer trim. Unfortunately I have had them painted before drilling any holes but  suppose I can always put something on to try and prevent rust at the drilled holes.

Does anyone know how many fasteners I need for the trim?

I have some 2nd hand trim which I am informed is wlder than TR4.

Thanks

Eddie

[Mirrors again]

Hi,

Thanks again, it looks like it will be door mirrors. There seem to be plenty of posts on this.

Eddie

[Mirrors again]

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I had almost come to that conclusion as I was writing query.

However I wondered if there was a suitable mirror for this location.

Thanks

Eddie

[Mirrors again]

Car body is still in primer waiting to be sprayed.

There is a hole in the front windscreen  panel on the drivers side directly in line with the windscreen fixing holes.

I assumed it had been for a mirror and was going to fit one there but car was originally lhd so maybe not ,because there is not a similar hole on the lhs.

Does anyone know if this is a practical location for a mirror and the type of mirror to use?

Otherwise I will get the hole filled while  still have chance.

Thanks

Eddie

 

[TR5/250 Wiper Motor]

Hi,

If you are no hurry I may be able to help.

I have 2 ,none working properly yet and need one.

I have managed to get one working for a while and will try the other one.

Hopefully I will get both working and will have one spare.

[Wiper motor testing]

Hi Alan,

I have removed the gearwheel, it wasn't stuck. I took the endplate off and tried to clean the commutator. The motor is now working but I suspect it was a bad connection to the brush holder because my cleaning had no effect but subsequent movement of the brushholder did.

Thanks Eddie

[Wiper motor testing]

Thanks everyone.

I connected as per Alan's instructions and still no joy.

I have taken the plate off one of the motors and cannot move the large gearwheel by hand so I will have to strip it down. I suspect none of the motors have moved for many years so they all may be in the same state. I will report back on progress.

Regards

Eddie

[Wiper motor testing]

Alan,

Thanks for the information. Two of the wipers are 75568 ,the other one with spade terminals is 755460.They are all the same shape and not round like the TR6.

I will try testing with a battery and fused wire.

Eddie

[Wiper motor testing]

I have 3 bare motors, one of which I hope to use in a TR250. Two are DR3A 5407138317 ,the other is DR3A 756460 and appears to be a later motor having two spade connectors as opposed to separate wires.

Looking at the circuit diagram I thought I could test with a battery charger 4/8A.

On the older 2 I connected +ve to green and -ve to the other wires in turn. All drew current but no noticable movement. I can't believe all 3 are faulty.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Eddie

[Surrey top back frame fitting]

Many thanks Stuart,

I had since realised the the two front holes in the body must be for the studs.

Also one of the two forward studs in the top was missing, I assumed broken.

However on inspection  it has clearly been cut off so the last owner was partly through fitting to his TR5.

My car is a TR250.

Eddie

[Surrey top back frame fitting]

Picked up my second hand surrey top yesterday.

Trial fitted the back frame but there are 5 pre drilled holes in the body with backing nuts and 7 studs on the frame.There are also  larger holes at the front of the frame but nothing on the body. I see from Moss spares catalogue that there is stud that appears to fit the front holes in the frame but no body attachment. I assume I have to drill out nuts on the 5 body holes but I can't find any info about the 2 front fittings on either side.

Can anyone help with instructions or a website/ video that gives information.I

I am sure that I will have further queries on fitting the Surrey top itself.

Thanks

Eddie
