Nifty TR4 mods

[88V8]

Some home-brewed features on a well-used TR4 owned by a member who is too modest to post about his unusual mods.

 

Starting with an individual take on the theme of 'emergency bonnet release', which continues out of the rad grille over the next two pics. And of course the stainless cover for the master cylinders.

 

 

 

Here's a stainless mount for the CB aerial

 

Here's an actuator for the electric windows. He did tell me where the windey bits came from but errrrmmm

 

Nice bit of underbonnet storage

 

The door latch.... that puts grease on your sleeve.... here's a stainless cover that automatically slides over the latch, complete with the finger wot made it

 

 

Ingeneous mount for the radio aerial

 

 

And the tour de force - hand-made vent cover beaten out of stainless

 

 

Coming up - hydraulic buffer mounts for the rear bumper...

I think I recognise that car!

 

It has an extremely appropriate registration, doesn't it?

.............so do I, nice car, modest owner, nice chap.

 

I'm currently nicking all the good ideas !

 

Ivor, you forgot the Alternator heat shield, 2nd photo, currently on my work bench waiting to be fitted

 

Everytime I take LNK out I promise to fit it BUT, when I come home the exhaust is always hot, bugger !!

That emergency bonnet release is err....an engineering marvel!

Yank car? Not RHD.

 

Bonnet release a good idea, but the cover for the door catch!! CB radio, chrome air vent, YUK.

[Bremer]

Some good ideas. The misalignment between the thermostat cover and the rad inlet spoils the picture a little bit, though.

Are you looking at the photos through a mirror???

 

It is definately RHD.

Hi all,

 

A nifty solution to organize every bit lying around in the TR: the very large door pocket.
