[power steering which set up?]

sorry Marco if I have offended you I apologies

I was trying to get more information about what you have done

I am an engineer who has dabbled with TR for a good many tears

I was hoping to get more detail of the steering system you have made

again I apologise 

Regards Reg 

 

[power steering which set up?]

Been a long time since I used the forum 

I wonder if the lad from Germany would be prepared to give a more detailed drawing

ie of what turning is involved and the wiring diagram

I would find this very useful in me old age

older members might remember me

[bonnet]

I have an original tr250 bonnet

there is no rust at all but it has had a bump on the front

so it needs a tin smith to work on it

I would like £250 for it

will post pictures if enough interest

[steering column]

i am contemplating changing my tr6 to rhd

the reason  being we probably will not be driving in the EU again

and my girl is struggling sitting near to oncoming traffic

i need as much info as possible and were to source parts of the fire wall etc

Waiting in anticipation

[Are these rear lights originals]

I say Stuart

If they are TR5 lenses

They must be worth £500 at least don't you think ????

As against my humble 4A worth a tenner at max

[Oh Dear! TR250 Pretending to be a TR5!]

As somebody who worked in the car town where triumphs were made

The Tr5 is a prototype Tr6 to see if the engine was any good to put in the next

generation of sports cars

As for worth more than other Trs what a load of B--ll--ks

How about that then ????

Waiting for the tirade

[ENGINE SITTING TO HIGH IN CHASSIS???]

adrian

I think you will find that you have the wrong engine mounts

One of the lads in the leicster group had the same problem

His engine had been sitting high for ages we compered it with mine and found

his mounting blocks were a lot thicker

Cheers good luck Reg

[Stan Laight's TR6]

Does anyone know the whereabouts of WFY 76L/M

This was Stan's TR many moons ago

[Milky OIl and my engine sounds like every bush has been left out]

It might not be any use but one of our lads left the small o ring out on the filter body

This was on a 2500 engine but it is simuler set up

This gave about the same symtems as you have

Just a thought

[TR4a Surrey top]

I have a 4a with surrey and a 6 with a rear screen (windjamer)

And in my opinion you get more wind problem,s with the surrey

My wife also agree,s with this

The surrey I have is a fibreglass one but I don,t think that makes any difference

The fact that I can stick the lid on easely is the big advantage

I did have to bond the rear plastic screen in as it tried to blow out otherwise

To pay over a grand for a ally one is in my opinion bloody stupid

(controversy I love it)

Hi Alan

Me if I have the soft top on I don,t lock the doors

Because the tow rags just cut your soft top if they want to get in

I would sugest get a decent imoblizer then at least the bu//ers don,t do as much damage

Cheers Reg

(had a great time down in wales last weekend 30Trs there)

[distributor ??]

Thanks Alec for your answer to MY question

I am clad you came back to my original request for some info

Thanks again Reg

[distributor ??]

Hi Mike

I agree with what you say But

The petronics that I bought was from The States I am not the only one to have had this failer in our group

Haveing said that I have had an aldon on my 6 for about 10 years and it has never mised a beat

The inside of these dizzy looks to be the same as the aldon system

So that would still make it cheaper and you also have a supposedly lucas type dizzy

Menno it just stoped working when I was driving along the road

So it was nothing to do with leaving on the ignition

Cheers all Reg

[distributor ??]

Hi all

Has anybody tried the electronic dizzy that is being sold on Ebay

The going price is about £60 which is cheap for a new dizzy let alone electronic set up as well

The reason I ask is that I had a petronics system in and it only lasted about 1000 miles

So I might bethe way to go

Cheers all Reg

[SU needles]

Monty

I would also recommend Andrew what he doesn,t know about SU,s is,nt worth knowing.

But if you like your own research try one called winsu

I find it,s real fun and the charts are good to

It helped me setup my triple SU.s on the six

But I would have to say that Andrew pointed me in the right direction for the four

 

Cheers see some of you at Malvern

Reg

[triple su's linkage]

I run triple su,s on my six

If you go onto the liecestershire site you will see them

I made it myself using ball joints from Rs If you live in this area I will show you how to do it

I will be away this weekend

Rob If you have poly bushes it might be them

I had the same noise traced it to the front sprayed WD40 at them and its gone

So that might help

[tr6 overdrive or 5 speed 71 model]

Hi I have noticed that AD autoes has been selling gearboxes on ebay and that they didn,t reach the reserve

It might be a good idea to give him a ring

He has always seemed like a nice bloke to me

I have been running a salon box for about 6 years and have had no trouble at all.

The J type box is stronger than the earlier one so if you are not looking for origanalty that would be my sugestion.

Happy Trying Reg

[Steering Wheel]

H

The very early ones are as Jean says alloy with leather over composite.

They weigh alot less then the later one,s even less than a motalita .

I am trying to find a local to cover one at the moment

It,s time to get the tr,s warmed up spring is round the corner.

Reg (now with a 4a as well)

[spot lights]

Peter I made the manifold myself and its been running in my 6 for about three years now

It really is a one of but I have made some patterns so one day there might be some castings about

We shall have to see

Reg

[spot lights]

Thanks Peter

That is just what I needed because I am making my own and those photo,s are just right

Thanks again
