Found this pic of a tr6 modified cam cover here

https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/1972-triumph-tr6-looking-for-a-purpose/90123/page8/

but I don’t know if it’s enough to use the vernier sprocket On a 4 pot 

https://www.trgb.co.uk/products/vernier-cam-gear-tr2-4a

but I understand that the standard sprocket has 4 positions that are 1/4 of a tooth each.

That cover looks nice, it’s just if it allows enough access, looks like about half a top vernier dia. You might have to trust the screws and nuts that the adjustment is locked to allow careful turning to be applied to get at the others.

Now you are thinking on the right lines  its no good getting fast to the corners only to find out it don't go round it  as for testing that can be arranged  

Enjoyed an a54 run to Buxton And back yesterday.
 

but it does have average speed cameras nowadays so the trick is to try and keep to 50 on the open bits and to drop below 50 as little as possible on the bendy bits.
the newly calibrated Speedo helps.

i have yet to  Try my 55 profile sticky tyres with the 4.1 diff.

think it’ll top out at about 75/80mph tho

Not the same chap, but you have to have faith in what the car can do, most of the time if setup right will be better than the driver. Example I have won some outright wins in rallying in a 1300 escort on road and track events but thats another story, and yes your right the lockdown does give you more time.
