I also did not want to fit mirrors so came up with this solution for an overtaking mirror that works both with top up or down. Served me for 15 years and never out of adjustment and easy to move if it is. Sorry car currently under cover avoiding the Welsh liquid sunshine. Neil

Jase, Although this is the correct soft top frame for a surrey it relies on the TR4 method of attaching the cover at the front. Your car has the lever cam locks that are not used as part of this design. There are several owners that have made modifications to use the levers or the buckle latches. One of our group is currently making this change so ask on the WhatsApp group. Neil

I have the same issue and unable to find any card to download. Not worried as membership shows as current. Neil

I had similar problems and finally also went the full electronic regulator route but from this company info@dynamoregulatorconversions.com Wish I had done it years ago. Stayed positive earth. Take care to read different company statements on what the regulator conversion includes as some only cover the voltage output not controlling the charge rate. Neil

I have just tried this and there is not sufficient clearance to fit the flywheel. Having just used the stand for a stag V8 build I found the weight made rotating the engine very heavy even with an extended handle. I cured this by modifying the stand head to include deep groove bearings and introduced a 3 to one gear set with brake. So much easier. Side mounting is OK for a 4 pot engine but no use on a Vee plus on the TR4 you would have to fabricate a frame to pick up on available fixings. Neil

At least now it is free to list and sell on ebay so you get the full funds. (not for cars though) Neil

In good original condition £15 plus £5 post Neil

I have placed an advert in classifieds for an original NOS crankshaft. It is ex MOD stock in heavy black grease and perfect. Neil

I used Richard Powney who live in Denmark for my TR4 rev counter. May have an exchange in stock. He will change face colours etc. and calibrate. Excellent service and very competitive. Neil

I have 25mm Kingspan on the door and made a seal from DPC material looped over itself to create a balloon that seals the top gap and sides. On the bottom I have fitted foam pipe lagging. Dramatic reduction in drafts and temperature control. Neil

Is the lifting eye just for production assembly of lifting the cylinder head not the full engine. Neil

I thought I had read this previously. Thank you for confirmation. Neil

I seem to remember reading that the machining dimension for the oil seal diameter had been incorrectly quoted in some documents. If this is the case and your crankshaft has been machined in this way there may not be a seal that will stop the leak. Neil

South Glamorgan are off to Brecon for Sunday lunch. Neil
