the gauges ref no i think match the no in the moss book and the temp gauge is a electical sensor type the panel looks old and i think its stainless my car at some point has had later gauges put in this is why i have brought these gauges and panel to get it back to the correct way it left the factory the panel on the car is black this may be the original one then and just the gauges changed so is it correct to have a black panel on build no ct 10515L would like to noHi gaz,For car CT 10515 L, you should have a black-finished panel. I think there were
slight differences in the grain finish over the years but not so much that anyone
would notice.
Speedo and tach gauges are not too hard to find. If you are being fussy, the 3A
and 4 tachos are different, the 4 tacho shows has a red segment between 5000
and 6000.
Your small gauges should be the TR3A style - that's full face (no shroud over the
top part) and curved glasses to all gauges (large and small). Only difference is
the TR4 temp gauge looks the same but operates from an electric sensor, not the
3A capillary tube type.

has it stopped working on the trip and the main odometers? The early odometers were carried over to the 6 and I have had mine apart for the same issue. there is a small diamond shaped spring metal clip that sits on the end of the odo shaft. it holds all of the number wheels in place and in engagement with the driven gears from the cable drive. this clip can fall off and will be rattling around somewhere inside the speedo. It might be hung up in the mechanism. The odo and trip are operated by separate eccentric pawls on the drive gear and a small arm that engages the number wheels as it rotates on the eccentric pawl. this arm might be broken. there isn't much else in there to stop it working, maybe a little light machine oil will help when you take it apart but not too much and don't get any in the aluminium drag cup that moves the needle. it will cause excessive drag and the needle will read low.
yes the trip doesnt work so the speedo got to come out and taken apart

hi all im a tr5 owner and also have a tr4 which was brought to turn into a works rep do you think that the value of a well done rally rep will hold its value if it ever had to be sold or would i be entering a market where some people would rather have a good original car and not a stripped out car and would you sell a tr5 to fund the build .the build would hopefully come in around 35k

just wondered if it is commom practice to use the original tr5 filter unit when the bosch pump is used this is what i have found to be done on my tr5 this was already on the car when i bought it three years ago. should this filter unit be changed or is this ok

I think the domed glass minor instruments had unshrouded needles. I would imagine that it would be unlikely for someone to replace the glass on all instruments. Perhaps the gauges are correct. Flat glass instruments were used from CT 15053, which would appear to have been sometime in 1962.
the chasis no of my car is ct 10515L

hi all i have a 62 tr4 with flat glass gauges and beleive these to have been changed at some point from domed type im looking to change these back to original can the glass be changed .if so where do you get them or, is it a case of hunting down a set of domed gauges and change the hole item
