There is a fellow on the 6-pack list by the name of Dick Taylor. He is a recognized expert on the TR6. His car was featured in Kastner's latest book, and his opinions are often quoted by TRF. He alwa
Not according to Nelson. He says the 73 has the earlier cables, but maybe he's wrong. Sounds like he thinks the later solid cables (really late cold start valves) are crap, and regardless of why you
Hi Bob, You mean 117 and 118 in this Moss picture? http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=29136#top Maybe a cheapo harbor freight three arm gear puller? Works great on the TR25
Yes, it just depends on where you want to go. My TR250 takes me back to 1968 when I drove it off the show room floor. No other car can get from here to 1968. Don Malling
Nelson Riedel's write up at Buckeye clearly states that either style (early or late) caliper piston and dust boot can be used on any TR250 or TR6 caliper -- either 16P or 16BP. He says there was no c
Hi Richard, I'm confused by your response. I understand the pistons are different. The question is are the calipers different between 16P and 16BP with respect to where the spring clip holds the dust
Hi Richard, Thanks very much for the picture. I didn't notice that you had named it 16PB.jpg. I will take my 16P's apart and send you some pictures. Thanks very much for the time and the help. I appr
Hi Richard, I got my 16P calipers apart and your description was quite correct. I just didn't get it. The 16P and 16PB calipers are quite different with respect to how the dust cover attaches to the
I had the same question.... Maybe find an old distributor cap and drill a hole in it above the points? Crank the engine and look in the hole?? Don Malling
Anyone know what I can use for brake grease or rubber grease similar to Lucas PFG102 which I understand is no longer available. I see in Moss that Lockheed sells little packets for $2.40 but I was th
I would prefer to use the original TR6 steel wheels on my 71 restoration, but after hearing all the horror stories on the list about roundness issues with the steel wheels, I'm considering alternativ
Interesting to note that IBM's OS/2 was a real operating system from day 1 -- some 15 or so years ago. It ran in protected mode with preemptive multi-tasking. (unlike M$'s amateurish attempts at coop
Yes you are right I missed it. The point is that mico-channel was a better architecture. OS/2 probably did run faster on it than it did on the PC architecture. Anything would. But it still ran faster
Well as far as I know nobody is running OS/2. Last I heard it was in ATM machines because it could run 24x7 an not need to be rebooted every so often -- unlike the M$ junk. All desktops are M$ in IBM
I guess I need some education. I've never disassembled a ZS carb or removed the needle from the carrier so keep that in mind. I do however have the old thin Haynes ZS manual with the tables in the b
Huh??? Where do you get this stuff??? Of course Warp ran DOS and Win 3.x programs. Ran them better than Win 95. I ran Warp on home built PC clones, and ran DOS and Win 3.x programs under Warp. Warp e
I Plan to bead blast my brake calipers inside and out after first plugging the brake fluild passageways with pipe cleaners laced with the Lucas Red Rubber/Brake grease. When I'm done I would like to
Hi Jim, I'm no expert, but I have 4 transmissions out of the cars. An original 4 speed from my TR250 (60K original miles), an MGB LH OD rebuilt by John Esposito, a TR6 A type OD rebuilt by John Espos
