In the past I used a pair of borrowed sash cramps to push the glass+seal into the frame. The corners are paticularly tricky with the rubber tape.
Be very sure that none of the Tenax screw is projecting into the slot, as you will get a cracked screen sooner or later - ask me how I know.

I have had good service from this company for Goodyear R9 hose:

For the Surrey type caps, there is only one hardtop front sealing rubber available, no wonder I found it almost impossible to get the lid to sit nice and low on the capping!

North London Group and London Group recently had a joint shoot out on Enginuity's rolling road, I believe the results were interesting.
No doubt somebody who was there will be along with the info.
The original shoot out was covered by Ian C in TRAction.

Hi Roger,
Just had a chance to pull up the carpet.
I have sent you an email with picture.
Cheers

Well done!
Watching the Sunday race at Luffield, it looked at one point as if the bonnet had come loose on the n/s.
Was it an illusion?

+2, plus it drains the system much quicker!

Mick,
Thanks, maybe I did. I was just going by posts #10 & #14, not the main debate.

I am impressed that some folk would carry a torque wrench in their car toolkit.
Overkill, though, surely? My spares and toolkit already weigh enough!

Thanks Tim & Roger, that's a great help.
Much easier than I thought it was going to be.

Dear All,
There is no screw or provision for one on my 4, which was rebuilt a few years ago, and it appears that although listed in the Moss catalogue, it doesn't show how or where this is fitted in the footwell.
It appears to be missing on a few other cars I have seen, perhaps for the same reason (missed in rebuild).
I am keen to make one up to avoid overstraining the carb linkage in red mist moments.
=8-))
Does anybody have a pic they could share of the set up? I assume the screw is into a welded in nut somewhere on the bulkhead.
Thanks

Roger,
I am afraid that the ordinary Stoplock (with or without flashing light) is about as useful as a chocolate tea pot. In the AE test, they released it in 5 seconds - and you can see it being done on YouTube as well.

Mick,
Recent review by AutoExpress:

Interestingly they suggest the Stoplock Pro just edges the Disklok for practicality. Finding space in a fully loaded TR, even with a Surrey, can be a problem.

I might be wrong (again
), but suspect, all else with your carbs (springs etc) being equal, that from what you have said that you have an air leak between the rear carb and the manifold. As far as you can tell, are both butterfles closing together, and to the same extent (eg balanced)?Mike

Did you remove the inlet manifold during your travails?
If so, you may find it has not seatedd back properly - it can be tricky getting it to engage fully with the 2 pegs on the cylinder head.
This can leave you with a large air leak/weak mixture, and it won't run properly (ask me how I know.....). The results you are getting with carb cleaner would seem to confirm an air leak.
Hope this helps.

David,
Re the self cancelling "thing" on the column - Roger is correct for cars with the indicator wand on the right, otherwise it is 9pm, on the left, for those with the wand on the left (like most euro moderns - no more indicating with the wipers!)

Paul,
See the ad for TRR Insurance Services on page 16 of TRaction 297 (April).

Why not just change the filter, and leave the oil until say 6000, especially if you are doing longer runs?

Tom,
You will still need the tensioner.
