Andrew Smith Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hello fellow 6'ers Since I’ve been sorting out the resonance by changing the 42” braided hose from the Bosch pump to the PRV with a shorted high pressure rubber hose from Revingtons (worked a treat and all now quiet! ), I also took the opportunity to spray the grille surround satin black per original spec and I think it improves the already aggressive stance. Anyway, personally I don't like seeing light body colour through the grille! Before: After: Cheers Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clarkey Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Hi Andrew, Now not wanting to be pedantic but you have missed a bit.........................................Only Joking.......I'll get my coat. P.S. nice job by the way. Out of interest where did you get your new Petrol piping from and is it ehtanol proof( thought i would get that one in before Mr cobbold) Edited April 10, 2011 by Clarkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TR 2100 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) I also took the opportunity to spray the grille surround satin black per original spec and I think it improves the already aggressive stance. Anyway, personally I don't like seeing light body colour through the grille! Have to agree. On the TR4s, the front valance behind the grille was painted satin black but not for other 'light' colours such as powder blue or signal red. It really does change the front aspect of the car (for the better IMO) (On the white TR4s, even the inside of the curved headlight housing was painted) AlanR Edited April 11, 2011 by TR 2100 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robnob Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Looks good Andrew... I won't be doing the same though - I'm quite happy with the white paintwork behind MBVs grille. Glad you kicked the Vuvuzela into touch - best left in South Africa!! regards Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Denis Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) I remember doing that to my TR4 over 40 years ago as the white showing through the grille was just plain ugle! But, I'm sure my white 6 came with that already done in black behind the grille ? Edited April 11, 2011 by Denis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willie Felger Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Andrew, You are soooo cool Dude! The effect is much better and I will now have to do the same once my groaning back and aching muscles allow. I just roofed the loft of my (first ever) double garage with 8x4 ft sheets of thick plywood. Now for a nice bit of Wilton and - as Sue says - not to forget my bedside lamp! Look forward to seeing you ere too long. Did you ever hear from Peter Terry? Regards, Willie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Smith Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Thanks all, Dave, Thanks for the steer on the rubber hose, used VUX for work today (70 miles round trip) and not a peep from the boot, so hopefully that’s the end of it! Rob, Go on, you know you want to and MBV wants to be returned to factory spec too – you can do it without taking the bonnet off as below………… Willie, Good to hear from you old chap. I trust your move down south went well? We’ll have to get together with the ladies for a drive out in the Surrey and/or Sussex countryside and pub lunch before too long. However, I bow my head in shame and writing to Peter Terry has slipped off my radar with so much else going on at work lately – I wonder what PT would think of that? Must get back onto it pronto.
