Thanks Chapds for your BDay wishes.
all well here although the storm with 104 mph winds was no fun. We also had a tornado appear, which ripped roofs off houses and move cars overturned 25 m . Never see anything like it .
personaly I had half a dozen trees pulled up but no damage to vehicles or buildings .
Thanks Again.
Guy
may be attending the next TR International Meet

Very sad to hear this news. I too used to meet Alan at the Tr International for many years. Always had a good chat, great sense of humor and a laugh to be around . Also had some great Fish and Chips.
He will be missed by many but not forgotten .
RIP Alan

Thank you Bob for the info.
Tom, thanks very much for taking the time to take those photos, I have had a brief quick look at mine with a straight edge, no photos yet, and it looks very similar. Pictures to help a great deal with things like this, and will take some of mine, weekends are always busy in my household with the four legged.
Thanks Again

Hi Chaps,
Thank you for your kind words, and PMs.
Hope you are all well.
I will try and take some photos over the weekend to show what I mean, my panels do follow on from the door profile , and I can achieve a straight line with long straight edge along the very bottom edge of the wing, through on the bottom of the cill.
Now we cant use photobucket, what is the usual procedure to place photos on forum.
Thanking You

Hi All.
I have been back working on my 3A, doing a mini restoration on a few panels, and return the car to its original color,well that’s how it started, so you know the rest of the story.
Anyway I am not 100 percent happy with my front wings, they have previously had the lower 12 inch lower part of the panels replaced badly and covered in filler. I have removed the filler and tried to return the panel to its proper shape, however it has still needed some filler, maybe a little more than I would have liked.
Nearly pulling my hair out here.
As I don’t have another Tr3a to look at on The Rock I am hoping that some kind person may be able to help me with a few photos of a front wing with a straight edge horizontally and vertically against the area behind the wheel, to try and show its shape.
Thanking you
Guy

Hi Mike
What do you base your comment "the bulk of the returned fuel goes through it" on?
I have no knowledge on which of the two returns does the donkey work but my logic goes that if I run at very light throttle the PRV doesn't know and still poke fuel at 105psi to the MU.
The MU must chuck most of it back?
Also I am not aware of the presssure into the PRV from the Bosche pump I would have thought the one supplied to me by Revington must be specified to be just so?
Peter,
When your Fuel Pressure was adjusted it was set via the PRV, with the test gauge at the metering unit.
So you have 105 at the Mu, meaning you will, likely have a little more at the PRV with excess sent back to tank at the PRV.

Hi All,
My dam double choke cable thing has broken, one cable parted company.
In taking the thing out I have damaged my switch plinth badly, it was one of those hard plastic ones anyway and never liked fitting it.
So looking for replacement, dont want another plastic jobby.
Can anyone recommend the Moss offering, the photo on there website isnt great, top of the plinth looks wobbly, reckon its the photo, but have asked them to email me an actual photo, will see if they do.
Heres the link

VUX will never forgive you Andrew you know that don’t you .?

Also
Make sure your pump, whichever it is has an adequate power supply and good earth.
Run a new wire battery to pump via a relay and use existing wiring to control the relay.
If your pumps not getting sufficient power it will have to work harder and therefore heat the fuel etc etc

Hi Guy,
nice to see you back.
This is how I did it just a few weeks ago on the 4A (same motor).
Remove the wiper blades
Undo the big nut at the front of the wiper motor (3/4 AF)
Remove the one screw you can see in the engine bay
Remove the two screws inside the car on the bulkhead immediately below the motor.
Pull the motor towards the wing and forward.
Remove the four little screws holding the lid down. Put a mark on the round dome (self park) so it goes back in exactly the same position.
Remove the lid.
Remove the 'C' clip holding the self park contact, remove the clip.
Lift the oscillating plunger from the gear wheel
Remove the motor body.
Refit is opposite.
If you have a decent auto electrician on the island they should be able to rebuild your old one.
Roger
Hi Roger
Thanks for that.
From you detailed description, he hasn’t found the two screws in the footwell.
Cheers

Hi All,
A mate over here has had issues with his wiper motor in his TR 250 whilst on a recent trip to France.
Hes now got a rebuilt one that he wants to fit. However hes having problems and cant work out how to remove the old one from the engine bay.
It cant be difficult but he seems to think it is, hes not a spanner man but tries , bless him.
Can anyone advise me on this, I havent had a look myself yet.
Thanks

Pink,Nice to see you back on the forum guy,
I have noted your observations of past times,
I now must find the error and put it right
pink
Do you recall Carl doing the four wheel alignment on your Tr. I think that's when it appeared
I think you should check the chassis for straightness, drop a few string lines onto the garage floor, easy for you as you have a pit.
So tape some cardboard to floor and plumb down the main rails, trailing arms etc.
Then go from there
As the car is now the wheels are in alignment .
Only trying to be helpful mi old fruit.And not back on the forum.
Cheers
Guy
-
Pink,
I can tell you that your rear wheel,has been sticking out like that since the last time I saw your motor at IWE, so that's three years.
About the time you fitted the larger wheels which have made the error appear even bigger.
Cheers
Guy
Ps Ask Stuart....Neil, or half of the people who attended the last proper forum meet at IWE.

Indeed Guy, our Stone Guards require very little treatment just a polish now & again
Now Towel Rails are a different kettle of fish, they apparently keep on attracting old undies maybe there is a permanent cure but doubtful
Be good to see you again
Cheers
Mike
Excellent Mike
Good to see you too.
Now that Andrew has seen the light it's time for us all the work out the Stoneguard Club members, so they too will see the error of their ways.
Cheers
Guy

Nice one Andrew
Please could you tell me if they will be doing any treatment for mud flaps?
If not perhaps you may know an expert in that field.
Cheers
Guy
-
So which is it ?
Prices falling or getting stronger??
Cheers
Guy
-
Yes very much the same. , although I extended the front outlet connections with flexible down into the footwell, and attached the vent connectors on the end.
It's a very effective heater and well priced
Good luck
Guy

Awful things on a Tr
Great on my Defender though...
