Mike JOnes Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I am converting my TR250 to RHD. The solenoid was originally positioned above the right hand side footwell in a position now occupied by the clutch master cylinder support bracket. I am proposing to make a bracket so that my solenoid can be shifted slightly towards the centre of the car in a position parallel to the clutch support bracket but am curious to know how others have dealt with this matter. I have looked for the solenoid on my TR6 but cannot see it! Any contributions will be gratefully received Cheers Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Thats not an original position anyway I dont think, if you look at the right hand battery hold down bracket there should be two holes to mount it on the right outer side of that bracket. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tr graham Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Mike there is no correct position for a RHD 250 , it’s Uk equivalent Tr5 used a pre engage starter as did the Tr6 so it can go where you wish. graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Also dont forget to move the captive nut that you can just see on the left of the battery tray area in that picture to the other side as its for the dash support bracket. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rawl-nuts or riv-nuts if you have a closing tool. Then and a dob of paint. Rawlnuts are nice as they only require the hole to fit in and self tighten.
