TR Paul Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hi Rich, so sorry I didn't get to see you at Stoneleigh yesterday. I didn't fancy doing a 250 mile round trip in yesterdays' lovely weather... Hope you kept safe, & you made good business at the show. I'm still interested in the Rad cowl, so perhaps we could use the post or arrange collection at IWE? Cheers, Paul. Link to post Share on other sites

Paul - no probs - I guessed people were going to struggle because of the weather - I'll get some postage costings and get back to you - I am planning to to to Stratford again this year but can't be certain at this stage so postage may be the better option. I''ll be in touch Cheers Rich Link to post Share on other sites

Murray? - Hi - as you are in the EU, there shouldn't be any customs requirements so I don't see why not - happy to look into it and get a price for shipping . If you send me a PM with your exact car details ( I think I've seen on the forum you have triple webers on your car ) as the cowls are different for PI and carbed cars because of the air cleaner. Also need to know whether you want it in polished Stainless Steel or black powder coated alloy, and whether you want a laser cut logo in the top.. In case anyone else is interested, I have quite a few left over after Stoneleigh for all models in most permutations. I'm presuming those who requested one to be collected and paid for at the show and didn't turn up maybe didn't want to risk attending because of the weather - if that was you, then I will be in touch shortly about posting them on but feel free to email/PM me if you want. I acknowledge that my delivery of the cowls was delayed from first thing in the morning till lunchtime because of the weather and that some people may have had to go before then.

rcreweread Posted February 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi everyone - I have a few of these left after Stoneleigh, typically for each model, one of each option ie stainless steel or black powder coated and with or without a laser cut model logo in the top - they are really good quality bits of kit, so if anybody is still interested, please PM me for full details and price etc Cheers Rich Link to post Share on other sites
ANFRUSSELL Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) I can vouch for the quality, having just replaced my tatty old millboard cowl with the new one I collected from Rich at Stoneleigh last weekend. Perfect fit and a huge improvement over the old one. Andrew e. Edited February 26, 2020 by ANFRUSSELL typo Link to post Share on other sites

tr graham Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Tr250 one is a bit wrong unless you are fitting injection. graham Link to post Share on other sites

In case anyone is still looking, I have a few of these left , so please get in touch if you want to enhance your underbonnet! They do make a big difference - just look at Andrew's photos above which were entirely unsolicited - no money changed hands, I promise! Cheers Rich Link to post Share on other sites
tr graham Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Richard did not say it did not fit just that it was wrong , the air deflection for a tr250 consists of 2 baffle plates that fit to the radiator each side with 3 clips and go parallel from the radiator to the inner wheel arches a tr5 has just the 1 on the nearside graham Link to post Share on other sites
Ocheye Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Just a note for Rich to say how delighted I am with the stainless cowl for my TR4. Perfect fit and so easy to attach with pre-routed slots for the self-tappers Andy Link to post Share on other sites
rcreweread Posted April 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Thanks Andy - glad to have been of help and your comments are much appreciated - its always nice to get some thanks! The cowls are well made and very rarely have there been any fitment issues - one has to bear in mind that over the life of our cars, particularly at the front end, potential for dimensional variation is high and indeed even when they were first built, tolerances were much greater than we have come to expect today, so manufacturing something which is pretty dimensionally critical and yet fits well in the vast majority of cases must be challenging for the manufacturer. I still have some left if anybody is still looking - please PM me if interested. Graham - apologies for not responding to your earlier post - I completely overlooked it but you are of course quite right in terms of how TR5/250s left the factory - notwithstanding this, in my mind, it just didn't look finished as they were and I think the fact that ST fitted a cowl to both the earlier TR4A and the later TR6 must say something. At the time the TR5 cowl was developed a few years ago, we had an influx of 5s in our local group and chatting to them and other owners, it was apparent that there could be interest in a cowl so I approached the manufacturer and with the help of one of the group members who allowed his car to be used as a guinea pig, one was developed - admittedly not original but it does "finish" off the area nicely, in my biased ( of course !) view Cheers Rich Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Forey Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Just fitted one of these cowls to my TR6. Arrived well packed by Rich, never seen so much parcel tape, and it fitted really easily and looks so much better than the bit of rubbish bent cardboard. Really happy. Sorry about the weird colour of the paint in the photo, it was really bright outside and I think the colour balance went off on the phone, it is Pimento, honest. Thanks Rich, a smart, well made product at a sensible price. Mick Edited April 9, 2020 by Mick Forey Link to post Share on other sites
rcreweread Posted April 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Thanks Mick and am pleased to have been able to help. As you rightly say, they are a vast improvement over the original. For the benefit of others, Mick's is a powder coated alloy one with no logo laser cut into the top. Still have some left for all models, except TR 3, which have all gone now.

ed3265 Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Thanks Rich, Well made and a very good fit. On the TR3a, these can only be fitted with the front apron fitted, just the grille to be taken off. Cheers Ed Link to post Share on other sites
rcreweread Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Thanks Ed - that's really helpful as a number of people have asked about the fitting of this in the context of the front apron so now we have it on good authority that it doesn't need to be removed. Looks like you have an interesting car from the brief glimpses in the photos!! Cheers Rich Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Eddie Eddie - I'm really sorry but I haven't got any TR 250 logoed ones. I have got a TR5 non logo-ed stainless steel one as per the top one in the first photo, but I'm not sure if is the same for a TR250. I do also have a logo-ed black powder coated TR5 one ( as per the third one down in the first photo) but will check out whether the 250 and 5 ones are different Let me know if either of these may be any good Cheers Rich Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie Trickett Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hi Rich, A stainless one, no logo would be fine if it fits. Regards Eddie Link to post Share on other sites
