What a coincidence, I met him in 1991 At 6Pack in St. Louis. He brought out his four seater TR6. Besides, to all us midwesterners, all those small eastern seaboard states all run together. ;-) Dave
Before you drop heavy $ in your differential go have a look at Rich Good's offering. He modifies a Nissan differential that has posi. Go to Goodparts.com and lookup the differential upgrade kit. Dave
I'd say it looks pretty straight forward to tack on some mounting tabs that correspond with the brackets on the fan. But make sure it clears the cross brace and rack before you get too far. Dave
That is the safest way to do it but the easiest way is to remove the cover from the control box and momentarily close one of the control contacts. Which one I don't recall off hand the Lucas represen
Stock starters are not polarity sensitive so if you are running a stock starter I think the problem is coincidental with the polarity change. If you have a gear reduction starter and it is polarity s
Which is my main concern. If you don't reopen the contacts you can get some excessive currents in a hurry. But idling the engine is a clever way to avoid the situation. Most engine powered back-up ge
The smoke in the wires escapes. Seriously, the field and armature circuits are connected (by the regulating contacts in the control box) and since the generator is not generating any voltage they bat
No difference in seat covers. The frames themselves are mirror as far as the adjustment controls but symetrical in the seating surfaces. And there are no knobs or things sticking out of the upholster
OK, I just looked at my TR6 and the rake adjust lever does poke out at the very bottom of the side through a hole in the vinyl. Putting a R cover on an L seat means making a new hole on the side need
This says the seat foams are different. But the original post was about fitting a right hand cover to a left hand seat. In a perfect world one would find a left hand seat cover to recover a left hand
Some procedures call out torquing the nuts down to a value (e.g.: 60 LB-ft) and then backing off the nuts to just tight. This is to seat the bearing races. Perhaps the races became dislodged when you
Well, if you want perfect, I guess so. But we are talking about a Triumph here. And since the foam compresses and the vinyl can be tucked and pulled, it can be made to work and be better than the tir
The Spitfire bolt pattern is the same as the TR7-8 pattern. This means the answer is no. The bolt circle is different. Be careful with the home-brew Lotus 7. You might make it more professionally tha
