Is this the item that stands behind driver and passenger to stop the wind blowing your hair in your face? If correctly positioned and height they are an improvement to the coefficient of drag on a sports cars without the roof erected. I witnessed this in wind tunnel tests on modern convertible cars. It does all change though with windows up or down. Avoid the clear plastic sheet type, they cause different turbulence The type that has a mesh is superior. Ebay has people selling them, mostly from Europe, although a couple are UK stocked. search. https://www.ebay.co.u

Leave the rear catch off completely till youve finished alignment also the rear rubber seal. Loosen the cones at the rear just enough to move then you can align the rear end of the bonnet to sit in them and get the rear height right. Its too late to align the sides as that requires wings off to bend the inner wing rails to suit. The side rubbers sometimes need a little shave off if the gap is too narrow. Leave the headlamps out so you can get to the mounting bolts. Make sure the captive plates move OK in the frame, Leave the side strap bolts till youve finished the alignment as you may find th

Also keep in mind.....Establish your desired ride height as height will change the camber. Do you have adjustable TA brackets?

Make sure the doors are aligned in height with the wings along the swage line before drilling.

Good morning, i own a TR4 A that came with Webers. I had the engine and the carbs rebuilt and everything runs as it should except 2 small issues. 1 - idle goes up to 1500rpm from time to time (suspect some fuel find its way at idle) 2 - after the last run (i have maybe 250 miles post rebuilt - weather was quite hot Saturday like 26 degrees) i did hear the infamous pcchht of fuel hitting a hot object after shutting down the engine, and did see that the front carbs was leaking at the inlet manifold for a minute or 2, no big leak just a drop every 5 seconds. I suspect fuel he

Hi, I’ve an original tank and wondered if anyone has any idea what depth (height on a dipstick) of fuel equates to a gallon. Many thanks.

Can anyone interpret the height measurement of the steering rack mount plates in relation to another part of the chassis from the workshop manual, pictured above.
-
thanks Tom, i will aim for something like 27mm and report back the necessary plastic float height. kind regards, Laurent

Hi all My experience is that oil coolers are only really needed if you are using a lot of revs for a sustained period …. So some fast road, long motorway driving at upwards of 4000 rpm, rallying, racing etc where you’re running the oil hot to its limits. Otherwise, why would you ? I’m sure many who use their cars gently don’t need them. Adding to the above, I’ve learnt that running oil temperatures that are too cool actually starves the rear of the engine of oil … with serious consequences, so again use in cold temperatures ie winter driving means No Cooler! The optimal engine oil t

A few shots of ‘crud’ build up around No4 liner in my TR4 engine prior to rebuild. I couldn’t believe how much there was and how solid it had become. The drain tap hole was difficult to clear. Oxtail soup anyone.. Ade IMG_3096.mov

Peter - how long is/are the 1/2"(?) UNF set screws that you used/sourced? I understand that there isn't very much depth beyond the wall of the block before the cylinder liner is impacted.

That is why I fitted the standard double valve springs from Chris Witor. These were recommended by other members when I ordered them. Before installing I checked their spring rate and height and they complied with the values in the WSM. Waldi

Not likely unless on telescopic shockers that are fully compressed at normal ride height. TR5s only had telescopic shockers at the front lever arms being fitted at the rear. That wouldn't mean it hadn't been converted to telescopic rear dampers. But rear telescopic rears were only fitted from the TR7 onwards although the same basic trailing arm set up utilised telescopic dampers on the 2000/2.5 & Stags. Pictures have gone but more likely long springs or a body mounting issue.

Consider swaging a flare on the plain end of your new bulkhead fittings to give a better chance of the hose sealing. All this waffle about coating the adaptor with gasket sealant is a sticking plaster for pipes that are too small for the hoses due to metrication. From another post….. The fitting I had to swage was stainless. The clamp part of the tool I have fitted snuggly and then I formed a simple flare to the tube to increase its final diameter. Be sure to remove any nicks or burrs from the tube end that could cut the hose. I have just done a dummy test on my

Here in Germany, too, a "holistic" approach to injection is always a major topic. Temperature of the fuel, pressure of the pump, swirlpot of the tank, diameter of the tank drain, double pump, cooling of the ignition coil, etc. So there are many possible reasons why a PI does not run properly, especially at higher temperatures. But at the end of the day, there is always the realization that there is no single cause or measure. And there are TRs that run perfectly well and others that are a pain. I have not yet been able to establish a connection as to whether TRs with a lot of additional techno

If the steering has only got heavier since fitting the new box, then the rest of the steering system is probably ok, to check if the box is too tight jack the front of the car up, so the wheels are of the ground, then try the steering, if it is still heavy then check if it is only heavy in the straight ahaed position, or if fully left, or full right etc. there should not be any "tight spots". if there are then small adjustments to the rocker height setting screw may be needed. Are you sure it is heavier than before, with no other changes (tyres etc) are the tyre pressures ok. Bob

. That was a year that was.. This was the year in which Sir Winston Churchill’s funeral took place in London. The same year, Lyndon Baines Johnson had been sworn in as President of the United States following the assassination of John F. Kennedy (an event which had occurred some 14 months earlier). Stanley Mathews played in his last 1st division game, and the unmanned lunar space probe Ranger-8 crashed onto the moon. The USA sent their first 3,500 combat troops to Vietnam and instigates Rolling Thunder (almost 3-years of sustained aerial bombing). While back home in

Having had problems in the past with liner heights, when I rebuilt my engine, (coincidentally at about the same time as Bob did his), I entrusted the whole machining exercise to a reputed machine shop, (the same firm that does all the work for Revington) and for about £1,000 they sorted everything including decking the pistons, crack testing the crank and then giving it a re grind and balancing everything. Money well spent as far as I was concerned. They even cleaned everything and blew out the crank. All I had to do was put it back together. Rgds Ian

If you want a blow by blow account of rebuilding a 4 pot engine take a look here: https://www.tr-register.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/74776-tr3-engine-box-re-build/ I did have a fair amount of TRouble getting the liner heights right ! Bob

Thanks for the advice. I'll will put the old ones back with new rubber, and to Pete: they seem ok, when on the car and the wing bounced it returned to normal height, behaving as expected. Regards Adrian

If you bounce a front wing down then let go, does it continue to bounce up and down, or does it return to normal height and stay there? Pete

From my current project which is a 6 cyl TR engine in a TR4A chassis. I would like to check that the engine is at the correct height. Can someone provide a reference point measurement on the engine to the chassis.
-
Thanks Waldi....the bottom of the engine block is 80mm above the CM, so I should be OK with height. As for checking the longitudinal placement?....the centre of the engine mount is very close to be aligned with the front edge of the rear lower control arm bracket on the chassis.

I have had my dropped liner and the other 5 taken out and the engine block re sleeved with lipped liners. All the parts re assembled and now it is running. Just needs final tweeking.

Dear Raymond, I would like to thank you and the whole team very much for the fantastic weekend you had organized. Having had the opportunity to spend a few days on this great ocean liner was a pleasure for us and I sincerely believe for all concerned, it realy is a unique ship. By the way, what did you promise to the good lord for the exeptional weather .... p.s. The first time in the year we drove top down all weekend
