A brown Leyland bible is handy for stripping building any part of the tr6

4th choice - back in the 70's my 4A dash was well cream crackered so I cut up a fur coat (real fur from a jumble sale) and covered the dash area with it - it looked great until it rained

Struggling to recall when I started my box of tricks, had been passed from the origonal owners son, onto a work colleague to myself, 3rd time lucky for project "IT", Im pretty sure it was March 05 and it flattened the cash flow at the the time..........

Invest in a Facet pump

There are a few tr4s in the Equipe Gts race early afternoon Sunday. There is a party marquee, band, bar, on the Saturday night.

I would like to join the team, but dont have a race preped tr at the moment, does this rule me out?

I think its just a case of breaking down the rear corner and replace the stud, might be a good idea to do the set. Take care when removing the hub from the rear ali trailing arm, the studs are threaded UNF and have a habit of unwinding damaging the the alloy casting requiring a heli-coil.

No the tr6 is a while off yet and wouldnt qualify for this race.
Its the new K series race, and the cars are either a 912 or Mgb, the formner takes a 15" wheel and the later a 14" wheel. It turns out I can only run "L" sections or the tires will rub.
-
set of 4 or 5 "L" or "M" section Dunlop CR65 tyres.
They can be either 14" or 15"
So far I have found them for £200 each
Would consider a part worn set.
Any suggestions or offers welcome, they are required for an hour race at Spa, which has been an ambition since supporting the 6 hours a few years ago.

I made the flange out of a bit of cut up road sign. I find them useful, they are a good gauge and zintec coated.
Shame you cant find a use for the speed camaras
-
Moss uk sell a auto door locking system for the MGB so dont see why it cant be coopted for a TR6
-
In spirit, shall be loitering around the paddock on the Sunday, all going to plan.
-
Ill be knocking around the paddock on Sunday shall call in to interfere, if you are still short a mechanic can pass the message onto them, they are rather mercinary and will ask how much? what should I say?

I didnt see Georges post so might be repeating stuff already said/written.
Just bought a tr3a with wire wheels 165 tyres, the spare is a wire wheel and is deflated so to fit in the space provided by the factory, previous owner carried a pump that could be powered from the battery terminals and a spare tube for repairs. A friend saw this set up and suggested the common practise was to cut a hole in the boot floor so the spare could be dropped into the space provided by the factory, this also allows the opportunity to fix the rear lower panel that has a tendancy to fall off if knocked.
hope this helps

And dont forget its mothering sunday this weekend

with a bit of luck nothing.
As a rule I was told to always connect the negative terminal last and disconnect the negative terminal first, I understand that the negative terminal is where the action is.
The smoke could have been a short caused by the clamp earthing out the alternator, best reconnect, put voltmeter over the battery (should be around 12.5 volts), then run the engine and put a voltmeter over the battery again (should be around 13.5 volts). Assuming the loom is correctly tied down, this will prove battery is charging.
A car with an alternator has a negative earth, dynamo is positive earth, this mightnt be hard and fast but its my rule of thumb. Most of the time the terminals and plugs are different sizes.

had similar ridges in the past after grinding their valves and that their engine is still running sweetly years later!
Sorry no but I unless the performance is critical I should expect that the car will run sweet as a nut. Not to big a deal to wip the head of at a later date, after all. More important is that the valve is a good seal.
