Re: Over/Under gauge (score: 1): Author: Andrew Mace <amace@unix2.nysed.gov>; Date: Mon, 12 Jun 1995 17:07:39 -0900 (PDT); It will, but I think you'll still need that adaptor so that the temp. sender bulb has something to seat on. There is no seat on the water pump housing, just a threaded hole. The sleeve won't help to; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00205.html (7,340 bytes)

Re: white stuff in Spitfire bonnet seams (score: 1): Author: Andrew Mace <amace@unix2.nysed.gov>; Date: Wed, 14 Jun 1995 10:10:46 -0900 (PDT); I believe this is simply some sort of seam sealer, a pretty common material. Particularly on external applications such as the Spitfire bonnet, it's not uncommon to see it deteriorate over time. Inta; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00224.html (8,427 bytes)

Seems to me that for the TR4, top gear (non-OD) is something like 982 RPM per 10MPH. Of course, this assumes your tach is dead accur; /html/triumphs/1995-06/msg00229.html (7,312 bytes)

55. Re: Serial numbers? (score: 1): Author: Andy Mace <amace@unix2.nysed.gov>; Date: Sat, 1 Jul 1995 10:13:39 -0400 (EDT); True. It's worth noting, however, that overdrive was not an option on the Spitfire until later in 1963, so it's not likely that a car this early would carry an "O" in the commission number.
