Jonny TR6

Hi Andy I had my dizzy converted to electronic by Martin (Dizzy Dr) and asked the same question regarding the knurled nut. He confirmed that it was now redundant. Might be worth pinging him an email just to confirm. He usually responds very quickly.

Likewise - I spent ages faffing around with my underslung “shall rename nameless” rose jointed adjustable linkage and couldn’t get an idle below 1200 rpm. The Fred Millturn ball bearing linkage with original style adjusting rods and the choke mod worked a treat, so it’ll sit there at pretty much anything over 650 rpm, albeit a bit lumpy at the lower revs.

Bear in mind Stuart that the car came to me with this finish, I’m trying to do the best with what I have. It would have been useful to have your expertise a lot earlier in the thread and I was hoping that as a bodywork expert you’d have chipped in earlier, but maybe you were laughing too much to type !

Must confess, I’ve been struggling a bit with this 20+ yr old 2k. Decided to get my paint man to have a look at it and see what pads/compounds he has. If it means just hrs of laborious MOPing then so be it, but if I’m not going to get a decent result then I at least know what I’m aiming at.

I’ve owned my TR6 for 20 months or so and one thing that’s always bothered me is the tired paintwork. I think it was painted approx 20yrs ago and as such, there’s scratches, sinkage, fish eyes, orange peel and various other issues from the Spotters Guide to Paint Blemishes. As it’s still technically winter and there’s lots of dark nights where I can lock myself away in the garage, I’ve decided to launch head first into the correction of the paint. I’ve had some rattle cans made up from a tin of the original 2K paint, so that I can add paint when needed, rather than taking it off

A very good friend of the forum has just embarked on an exciting new chapter in his life and doing something I think we'd all be envious of. Many of you will know Toby from the excellent products he provides for the TR6 and he's now making this a full time venture. The video explains it all and it's an amazing and inspiring watch. Good luck Toby - it's going to be great watching your business grow and hopefully those of us who can support you will do !
