malcolm Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Hello All. I'm posting a request for help with a new TR7 book. Hope you can help: "My name is Roger Williams & I'm writing the final book in the series on TR Restorations. Steve Redway kindly gave me your address & suggested I contact you as he felt you may be able to give me some of the help I need. The text of the book is mostly drafted & while it is not now my primary concern I could use some suggestions from those with TR7s (&'8s) as to where the main electrical shortcomings are, what usually needs to be restored during the car's rebuild & where the electrics usually are usefully upgraded. However it is the pictures for the book that I primarily need a lot of help with & where I wonder if you can put me in touch with any relevant members of your section. Some chapters will need more (I've * those that I expect to more than average), some less pictures, but if I tell you that I have 11chapters in need of an average of 20/25 pictures each, you will appreciate that I have a problem. The professionals rarely take frequent/detailed/close-up shots of the work they are doing - they are too busy doing the work! Consequently, from previous experience I feel my best source of help is from (probably several) private restorers. The chapters requiring illustration are as follows :- Rebuilding the four cyl Engine* Rebuilding the 8 cyl engine* Gearbox issues (although I'm not trying to illustrate how to re-assemble the boxes) Carburettors overhaul Suspensions & steering rebuilding Rear Axles - although again I am not attempting to illustrate complete axles re-build Brakes Electrical issues Retriming the car & recovering the seats* Fitting a new hood Left to Right Conversions Thanks for your time & for any contacts you can suggest - Roger Williams" Please mail me malcolm.paris@zen.co.uk anything in electronic format or PM me for a postal address if required. I will then forward to Roger. Thanks Malcolm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

malcolm Posted March 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 A very dissapointing response from TRaction I'd have to say There has been more information forthcoming from forum users. Any books of this nature are good news for TR7/8 owners so please dig deep and give me anything you have to help Roger. If you'd rather speak directly to Roger then just indicate what you have to offer and I'll put him in touch. Malcolm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
