David Owen Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Serious question, can you anchor a baby seat....maybe 2? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Legally it would definitely be a no no. I'm not even sure of the legality of a baby seat in the front attached with seat belts that aren't original to the car. I built the rear seat for my better half for very short trips with the boy up front in his car seat. Looks like it will be her driving and me following on the bike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 I fitted a child seat in my TR3. Top straps over the tank top to a cross brace. Bottom straps to floor below and back to the tank front edge. The ‘dog shelf’ was kept and the child seat sat on it attached to the straps. That was 1980 though and the law has changed significantly since then. Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EliTR6 Posted January 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting 12v. Turns out the 15A fuse supplied with the unit was faulty Replaced with a 10A, plugged in my phone for a quick test and it didn't explode! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was a dead end! Doesn't help that Bérengère is a neat freak and I'm the polar opposite Browsing through an old magazine I spotted an interesting ignition key in this works car. Does someone know anything about this type of key? The fob on mine keeps on getting in the way of my gear changes. I balance it on the starter knob but it's not an ideal solution. Thanks!

Thanks Rob Will be good for stopping the bike keys flapping in the wind too No work on the car this weekend, just a massive tidy-up of the shed. I've got a slight whining from the rear passenger side but needed to clear space to work before getting started. I'll measure the end float this week if its not too cold.
