One of my first bad experiences in my TR4A was the wobbly fan that wobbled so much it took out the radiator. I had no idea what was going on... quite the adventure. Needless to saw, she came home on

Reversing lights didn't become the law of the land until 1968, so they were optional/non-existent until then. When I installed a new tranny in my TR4A, I wanted to add reversing at the same time. I s

This sounds like the underhood switch that completes the circuit to the starter, not the dash switch. It would have a rubber button at one end, two heavy duty copper stud contacts (battery, starter)

Most emphatically no. The interior diameters are different from the GT6 version. If it's leaking between the plastic reservoir and the cast iron body, you've either got a cracked reservoir or failed

Insulation is key. I used Reflectix, a 3M product found in home stores in the US. It's bubble wrap that's been coated with mylar. Put it under the carpet, everywhere (replace the jute underlayment wi

I've often thought I'd like one for my TR4A, which doesn't have one, and I believe never did (it's not shown in the factory parts book). Though I admit that I've wondered if the factory had a reason

When contemplating badge bars, be aware of the difference between the 4 and 4A/250/5 bumpers - the overriders are mounted in different places! The 4 mounts them narrowly, but the later cars spread th

The ties are OK, but adding brackets is so easy it's never seemed worth *not* doing. I am usually doing this as part of refurbishing the radiator, so it's out of the car anyway. I bend up small brack

The PermaCool fan from Jegs looks nice, but I'll put in my usual pitch for the fans from Scotts Manufacturing in Valencia, CA - they make some really skinny fans that really move air, and might cost

See, there you go, leaping from "Triumph" to "TR". What about the poor GT6 and Herald? They've been completely left out of this discussion - even the Spitfire and Stag guys look down on us! :-)

I'm not *certain* about the TR4, since my experience behind the dash is with a 4A, but I suspect that there should be a black wire with a ring terminal that goes to the bridge of each of the small i

A well-timed grab of the brake to lock up the rears is a time-tested technique, still used today at the highest levels of rallye competition. Those fancy WRC cars with all wheel drive have their brak
