Perhaps the price shown is the Incl VAT sum. Unless they have gone for Bastuk then they are the ones. Bastuk will have their name cast in them somewhere. So, I believe they are them. Roger

Hi Chris, the Moss webcat shows the price at £330 + VAT each. Hubs Roger

These motors are useless at the best of time. Send it back and get your money back Consider fitting a 14W TR6 motor - they actually work. To see your colours Remove the back plate and look inside - you should be able to so sheathing that is not sun bleached. Roger

Hi James, I will certainly help install it but as a demo I think that is asking murphies law to come into operation. Roger

Hi James, I don't know how other boxes do it but on mine to come out of OD a simple touch of the switch. When I was in Germany, Blackforest - the straights on the hills were in 3rdOD and the hairpins in 3rd - no clutch just a simple tap of the switch IN & OUT Roger

Hi Phil, on first sight all the wires ( 7 ) look daunting. But they are colour coded and fit direct into the the car. On the 'A' type two wires are switched over on the 6RA OD Relay. Wires for the operating switch and Indicator LED need to be laced through the steering column loom About 1 hours work Forget that they are 'electric' wires - imagine they are brake pipes and it becomes easy.

They've just had a whip round for more beer Sorry.

I think you should be able to as it should be to the new original size. However I have not done that. Roger

Hi John, are you referring to the grab handle? If so most DIY type members can recover it. I've done a couple. I believe TRGB also undertake this service. The TRShop sell there NEW grab handle and Moss also have a new grab handle. Not sure what Rimmer has. The TRShop item looks very good. If you recover your own do consider that the extra layer will make fitting the back plate a bit difficult. The new ones do not have the back plate. Roger

Hi folks, has anybody seen this https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2024-05-11/cars/ref-24-1966-triumph-tr4a-irs-surrey-top-sb/ My good mate is interested. I spotted a couple of howlers but what have I missed. I think it is a bit on the dear side. Roger

My local S&M orgy commune have just declared that their favourite drink is 'Lashings of Ginger Beer' Roger

Hi Richard, in the UK Serck Motorsport do good rad repairs. https://www.serckmotorsport.co.uk/ There are also a number of one man bands but they are getting fewer I had RadWeld in a TR4A rad for over a year until I chickened out. Roger

Hi Richard, that is how the TR4 cable is fitted (no angle drive) There are longer speedo cables available to ease the bending. Roger

Hi Paul, remove the shoes and clean it down as best you can. Refit the wheel and rotate the wheel whilst keeping your hand on the tyre. Can you hear or feel a noise from the bearing - if yes, you will need a new hub. Then hold the tyre at the 12 & 6-o-clock position and give it a good waggle. Did you feel any play (there should be absolutely none) If you could feel play then you need a new hub. Moss sell their own new build hubs that work well. Bastuk make new hubs that probably work well. Both these are to the original design. Others have

There is so much we do not understand in every walk of life. Only the flat earthists can easily deny the unexplained because they can only see/touch their reality. However jumping out of ones 'reality' is a very brave step. I don't bother with UFO's etc as they don't bother me but 'odd' reality needs an eye keeping on it. Roger

............Wot, no flip flops !!!!! Roger

Dunlop were definitely being produced in India in the 1990's Roger

Hi Emrys, It sounds as if the auto park plunger inside the motor is not riding up the cam to switch off. On the underside of the motor there should be a switch attached to the body Inside this switch is a plunger - this can wear and the motor will not stop. Or the cam is missing inside the motor. Take it all of and delve inside. Roger

Hi Tigger, Dunlop wire wheels have been made in India for a very long time. It just keeps the production costs down along with the level of quality. Roger

Our TR's have been served very well by C&B, Moss whatever over many years. Even new cars have quality issues. We have been very lucky. Roger

If a magician can do that imagine what God could do Roger
