It's not worth an argument, but I'd be willing to bet a bunch that in 1965 there were no reproduction TR3 parts being made (particularly coach keys), since the factory and dealers and distributors st

Perhaps not as reproduction TR3 parts; but as noted, TR3s are not the only devices to use such coach keys. ISTR my Dad's 1930 Packard had one, too. Of course, it's also entirely possible that differ

My early TR2 came with a coach key very different from the "dogbone" style available from any of our normal suppliers. Mine is a simple 6" tall affair made of 3/8" solid steel. The T top is just 3" w

Hey, Lou, what does the shaft between the handle and the tapered portion at the bottom look like ? I've got one like that in my collection as well, but I always thought it was a home-made job. Randa

As usual, I disagree. Voltmeters and ammeters give complementary information; but IMO an ammeter gives more of it, and more of what you want to know. For example, you start the engine and wait for t

That is correct. I was under the impression that when you said the ammeter "wasn't working" that you meant it was not passing power to the rest of the car. Sorry, my mistake. If the ignition, headli

One very important consideration in painting calipers is what kind of brake fluid you have been using. If you have converted to DOT 5, you have to go to extreme measures to get the surface prepared s

I agree, except the "extreme measures" can be as simple as wiping down with a purpose-made solvent, like Acryli-Clean (PPG DX330) or Prepsol (DuPont). Most solvents (like lacquer thinner) won't touc

An ammeter is a strange sort of beast. In fact, there is only one kind of meter, a galvanometer, and it responds to current. It is usually built to have as low a resistance as possible, and to expect

I will have to take exception with that statement. Acryli-clean and similar solvents are absolutely insufficient for removing silicon brake fluid. Ask me how I know this! No, don't, I'll volunteer it

Sorry, Jim, but I disagree. Current flowing through a wire always generates a (weak) magnetic field around the wire. The ammeter used on TR2-early TR6 is not a galvanometer at all, but instead a "mo
