kiwi-jim Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 If anyone has a TR4 engine torque bar sitting around would you be able to provide me with a diagram of it and dimensions so we can fabricate one alternatively happy to buy one second hand but its usually the freight to NZ that kills it. Stay safe over there cheers Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ianc Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 I fitted one of these but didn't consider it sufficient because of its position in relation to the centre line of the crankshaft. I devised my own system, and it is described in TR Action 130 (May 1996), repeated in Technicalities CD pages G15-G19. Dirt cheap! Unfortunately, wouldn't work on a TR2/3 as the suspension mountings are closer together. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian Cornish The reason I have that one on my shelf is because using the up-rated Landrover round engine mounts means the bump rubber doesnt reach as I was going to fit it to mine after engine upsizing.
