Hi Chris, I agree with others, JB Weld is definitely not adequate for this job. Helicoils are commonly used for this repair. Time-Serts might be a better option, used particularly by motorcycle mecha

Hi Kirby, Look for another powdercoater. I had the hoodsticks for my TR4 sandblasted and then powdercoated black some years ago. Looks great! Probably a nicer finish than I could ever have done and c

Hi Bryan, Vapor lock is real, but this doesn't sound like it to me. The first thing I'd check with SU carbs is the damper oil level. To me this doesn't sound like a damper problem, but it's always wo

Hi Randy, I think the closest thing to a "bolt in" replacement would be the kits RevingtonTR sells and some of these might not be all that far from original. At least one of Neil's kits for TR4 close

HI Randall, Like you, I've now got an electric fan installed. But, yes, at one time I had a flex fan installed... brand unknown. It is considerably larger diameter and much deeper/more aggressive tha

Hi again Randy, Yes, there's a bit of a cruel irony... The vast majority of TRs were shipped to the U.S. - some 80, 90% or more of some models - and yet a number of shops with some of the coolest stu

No, TR4 did not have reverse lights installed at the factory, but the previously noted Lucas models were offered optionally and references can be found in the factory spares catalog, along with swit

Hi Brian, A couple ideas that might help... You could add exhaust tip resonators. Borla is one manufacturer. These are just exhaust tips, but have some noise dampening effect, too. I've seen them in

Hi Allen, Hammering like this should *only* be done after the axle is removed from the axle tube. The various manuals and books very carefully warn against hammering on the end of the axle while it's

Hi Paul, Frankly, even though it's tough stuff, I'm not sure how POR15 will react over time to brake fluid. So, no, I wouldn't put any sort of paint inside a hydraulic circuit. There is simply too mu

Hi Kurtis, Did you notice the engine is fitted with Weber DCOEs? I'm sure that's because the same company offers a TR4 model in factory rally trim including driving/fog lights and hard top: http://ww

Hi again Allen, Yes, that's what I thought you were suggesting... to hammer on the puller screw (not directly on the end of the axle). That's what I was cautioning against. The factory manual specifi
