Absolutely not. There are some awesome TR-8s in our local Triumph club. The TR-8, while not a car I covet, is really a very nice package. Bud Osbourne --Original Message-- From: spridgets-bounces+abc

As I mentioned earlier, my starter solenoid decided to take a vacation, this past weekend. Of course, this is only the preliminary diagnosis. I get a good "click", when I move the key to the "start"

Thanks, anyway, Bill. But, if you've read any of my "rants" in defense of Lucas electrics, you would know that I'm sort of like the King of Clean & Tight Connections, particularly the battery termina

Somewhere, I seem to remember that I have one or two used ones lying around, so, maybe I'll sacrifice one of them in an effort to determine if one can successfully be taken apart, reconditioned and

I finally had a few minutes to spare, last night, when I got home from work. So, I began to track down the electrical fault, which I suspected (note past tense, here) to be the starter solenoid. Step

Well, I can use the new battery in my '73 Midget, when I finish the restoration in the spring. The old one may last another year in the '72, if I'm good to it over the coming winter storage period. T

Stock 1275. Will be adding another stock 1275 to the list of 'runners', in the spring. Also, I have two early Midgets (MK I & MK 1 1/2) which will probably receive and retain (respectively)1098s, pos

I read up on the early 1098s, which the factory recommended folks not use for competition purposes. According to David Vizard's book (Tuning the A Series), the "small rod" 1098s are perfectly fine f

The spongy feeling you mention may be caused by air in the shocks. You can put all the correct, new fluid in them you want, but, until you get that air out of them, they'll remain "spongy". The fact

Yes. But, since Howard is looking for a short-term "fix", I'm sure he can ad fluid, periodically, to keep the units from sucking air. I've done it, myself, many times in the past. After all, the fact
