[How lucky am I?]

These are my exiting mirrors Roy, and you’re welcome to have them once I can fit the others. It looks like it’s going to be a tedious job though, as I’ll need to drill a larger hole in the existing front screw hole to 1/2”. It then looks like I’ll need to take of inner door panel and remove glass so I’ll hopefully be able to do the new one’s up. It might take a while to do as I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to this!

Nothing wrong with those mirrors. Majority of TRs have them. I would leave alone and sell your lucky find on.

Please don't mess around get a new wiring loom.

I stripped out a burnt wiring loom and when investigating even further into the wiring loom it was a mess. Do not risk it!

I am not qualified but will not use it. Think there is an article in the States of why they do not use it. Check it out.

[Wobbling speedometer needle]

I had this problem and despite having it calibrated etc.. after a rebuild it still flickered. I changed the speedo drive and cable but still the same. Spoke to overdrive services and they suggested it could be the drive worm gear for the speedo angle drive. There is a bolt just up from the angle drive which locates the worm drive. I changed it for a new one and bingo it worked in my case so now a happy bunny. Not saying it could be the same as yours but something to look out for.

Good luck.

P.S. I cleaned the inner cable and coated it with graphite lock powder.

[My new TR250!]

I love these with the bonnet stripes and yours would be silver, but does not detract for being a very nice car. The colour I am somewhat biased as my (TR5) is in Jasmine.

Enjoy!

[Emerald K6 ecu dimensions.]

My K6 is under the glovebox area. Hinged on a drop down purposed made cage and secured by spire clips. I have been running my EFI since 2010 and been relatively trouble free. One hot water sender kaput, one coil pack with a misfire, Crank sensor tried to make a run for it but overall very, very good.

Changed out  for Heritage throttle bodies in 2017 (I think) and that induction roar is fab.

EmeraldM3D are a great company and Dave Walker (company founder) is a guru on EFI and training up a younger guy to take over his mantle.

Here you go Waldi. Had to take a pic on my phone. My scanner and printer is playing up. Hope this comes out ok.

Bore size a bit under 1/2"

[Would this OD fit my TR6?]

Yes it should fit. The prop shaft is the same length with or without the overdrive. Tom Cox will build you one of course. Address and phone number inside back page or Traction mag.

[Fuel Tank Isolation and Divert with Inboard Pump Arrangement]

I will have a look Waldi and find the paperwork.

Hope to see you in Malvern. Dan and I are doing the Modified Triumphs again this year.

Third pic of EFI part of install. But you get the pic. No problem Kenrow

They are Italian taps and importers tend not to stock them these days Shame as my favourite tap.

[Dashboard dial lights not working.]

Where are you Geoff ?

Bypass the rheostat. Speedo and rev counter out. Disconnect the glove box stay. Take out the five securing screws. Pull dash forwards and you may have to undo the oil feed pipe for better access. You can then see where the wiring is on the rheostat and bypass it. Red cables to join  red and white.  Solder Bullet connectors and sleeves.

[Door lock removal]

I like the moss ones with the big nut. I make up a stainless washer for the inside and tighten the nut on that. On a painted door which I have done a few times masking tape is you friend and take your time in filing the hole to suit. I also fit a large stainless washer on the forward part of the handle to spread the load.

Must have taken you ages to set that up for a pic.

1/2" stud down the middle with suitable flat bars and bish bosh sorted!

There is or was a problem with a batch of TRW brake master cylinders which one would hope have been scrapped!

I personally, prefer original rebuilt from Past Parts.

[Servo pin adjustment.]

So simple using this and very accurate!

[Restoring tr3]

Very nice, well done, hope to see it in IWE.

Regards Harry

[Servo pin adjustment.]

The setting tool is more or less fool proof and that is why I built mine (but not my idea, just copied it. Saves all the calculations! push the rod into the master cylinder, lock up, reverse it onto the servo pin and measure. This will determine the gap.

You will get there.

Can you not just drill  a hole where you want it and bolt a fitting with a suitable ribbed tail on it.

That what I did on mine (TR5)
