If you’re the only driver the easy option would be a suitably dished aftermarket steering wheel. Im not familiar with TR7s but I’m guessing that a bit of bracket fabrication will lower the wheel if you really need it lower.

I try not to think about it as I know that disappointment will be forthcoming when I confirm that SWIMBOs SUV is much quicker

It’s a relatively simple job to cut out the boot floor and dress back a 1/2” overlap into the spare wheel area. A removable plywood floor can be made to cover a full size spare like a TR4 boot.

There are a few words on the subject from Neil Revington here: https://www.revingtontr.com/product/rtr1210k/name/thin-belt-conversion-tr2-4a

Happy Birthday Iain. Hope you had a great day.

IMHO nothing.

In a pre TS60000 yes. Post 60000 you may struggle.

There’s lots of info for you here: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c6dec53b10f25d4edf0b3f7/t/5d0196b61ac35c00019dc7f6/1560385208474/A

65 ft/lb for the thin double taper nuts. I always Loctite them too.

If you fit the double filament bases then red/white LEDs can be fitted and you have twin reversing lamps and twin high intensity rear lamps.

It’s the same design as TR6 so as long as you don’t fit tyres bigger than the 165/80R15 that the TR6 was designed around all should be well.

Happy Birthday Ben. Have a great day.

I use SAE 15 motorcycle fork oil which works well. Some advocate using a heavier oil to up-rate the damping but it doesn’t really work like that so you will achieve better results by using the lighter oil and adjusting the valve cartridges as per this article in In the Garage issue 13 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qe06juw2akv0jjevgg415/Issue-13-ITG-April-2021.pdf?rlkey=trmphg0hksuzrrnk0107mivi8&dl=0

It would be nice to test them back to back with new replacements and compare integrity. Pity I’m not still running a development lab.

I have a M22 brass boss fitted in the bottom radiator tank. If you use a Golf switch they have three terminals for two switch points as they have twin fans which come on in sequence. the hotter one will be hotter than required for a low pressure TR system so you could use that to operate a warning lamp.
