In order to use the eezibleed you need to ‘modify’ an old tr6 brake master cap by drilling a hole in it to accomodate the eezibleed valve easy to do if you have a spare tr6 cap hth steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scousegit Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Hi Conrad, I live on the Wirral as well, Mine is a 1972 which I have had since April 1977. I also had an 850 estate as well, but since selling I've had three D70 estates. The TR is currently under restoration but it has been on the back burner for a while while. If you want any help with anything please PM me at anytime. Cheers, Jon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Conrad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scousegit Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 It should be assembled dry if it is a cork gasket, if it is paper/card one then use some Hylomar; the main thing though is not to tighten the bolts to much. Jon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oldnickers Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hello Conrad, I too just bought a TR6 (‘74), literally a couple of weeks ago. It’s off getting a few things sorted by those with more skill than me. Like you, I’ve long admired them...but the last time I saw you we definitely didn’t discuss them...1983 at school if my memory serves me correctly?! I too am a Glaswegian accountant...hope the last 40 years have been kind to you! Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Forey Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Conrad, I have had good experience with fitting thick cork gaskets with Wellseal on both sides. The cork takes up the inevitable deviations from the straight and true on the sump and the Wellseal keeps it well sealed. Mick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
