+1, like Roger I have both the block and rocker feeding a catch tank. Engine breaths quite heavily (cam, twin 45's etc) and it does help oil use, exits under the car

Same as Brian above.................. LNK has an undershield and with wing vents, no problems. However, in slow or stationary traffic there is heat build up, A tropical spec Revotec fan handles the water jacket but the carbs get hot and the car struggles with fuel evaporation. After a melt down in Monza (40degs) I've fitted additional heat shields and a cold air feed with fan assist There is always something to chase down !

+1 Genuine part is stamped

Jim TR-E sell as a kit, part number TRE9004 1 TR4 LWT ALTERNATOR KIT. It's a Nippon Denso 40A motorsport unit. You may need a new fan belt (small pully) and if so, remember to change out your touring spare. Takes full load for hours on end, full lights, wipers, fan etc, no problem

Jason Welcome on board, great hands on history, you'll fit right in. As others have said, join your local group and stay close to the forum, you won't go far wrong Enjoy the journey..................

+1 for Ade's comment. I roasted quite a few 17ACR type alternators (even when shielded by one of Roger's excellent custom heat shields). Now using a smaller Denso, supplied by TR Enterprises, in an effort to move it further away from the manifold. The basic design also benifits from better protected internals and it's own heat shield. Fit and forget

+2 Roger Always nice to see a TR4 go to a good home, and yours is a nice one !

Lovely car, nice to see them personalised and, of course, the TR4 is the best of all options. Axle, body, performance/mpg compromise etc. However, as a 19yr TR4 owner, I may be biased

Hi Jase Yes, from Moss, very well packed, delivered to TR Enterprises who fitted it

JC This is what I use (legal disclaimer: not a recommendation). Our old cars need BLUE coolant/ antifreeze. New cars/ modern use PINK antifreeze

been there, done that !

Richard HaHa, can of worms, everybody has a list. Best advice, which you already know, is USE the car, keep using it, build reliability. Combined with annual servicing and move to a schedule of consumables/ parts replacement, putting the old (but still working) parts into your spare parts. Rule of thumb, if you can't store them under the boot floor, your carrying too many

Hi John Recently had the screen in LNK changed after a chip became a top to bottom crack. So, an insurance job, TR Register club scheme. They offered a next day pattern part install. However I wanted OME Triplex and, after some negotiation, I agreed to pay the difference and get a proper screen, original thickness (so it fit's the new OME spec seal) from Moss Looks great, correct makings, OME, made by Pilkington on original tooling, fits the new seal, just nice ! ............and you get a sticker

+1 for the MX5 Mk2 seats. Separate head rests and, If you buy your own 2nd hand ebay, you can do your own re-trim, colour match etc

7 speed for me (4+O/D) better than a radio. However, I do love a modified car so ok with the 5speed, just not my choice
