I have been reading the messages about the 4A extension with great interest. My fan belt started to disintegrate Sunday evening and I noticed the groove in the fan belt extension during my preparatio
Since I started this thread, I'll the first to weigh in.. I am using brand-new TR-4 styled (the rounds ones) motor mounts. Even with these, the groove fan extension is still super-close to the rack.
One has to be careful here - Simply shimming the front of the engine without regard to the rear mount can cause other problems. There is a factory angle to the engine, be it level or some angle. This
Hello Guy, I've been reading this thread with interest and now, with a bit of self promotion, would like to offer another solution. I have recently started manufacturing fan eliminator kits for the T
So, what exactly is your kit ? A new front hub with a harmonic dampener and pulley to take the original wide belt ? May as well tell the entire list, since you mentioned it here first. Randall _____
snip Randall, The kit is designed to eliminate the fan and fan extension when converting to an electric fan. After removal of the fan extension it will just slip onto the six bolts that are already

Pardon my ignorance, but I have a question. Do the eliminated parts contribute in any way to balancing or dampening vibrations on the crankshaft? I've never been sure whether or not it is just the cr
contribute in any way to balancing or On the TR2-4; I've been told by those who should know that the stock fan itself, and the rubber bushings it mounts on, acts as a harmonic dampener. This has not
A much debated question with no clear answers. The later TR4A had an aluminum fan extension and a Yellow Plastic fan so it would seem to me that a lot of the weight can be eliminated but I am not su
However, based both on personal experience and what I've been told, this doesn't appear to be too important for nearly stock, street-driven engines. It's the people who consistently run over 5000 rpm

I've run the MGB conversion on my race car for eleven years. I honestly don't know if it does any good or not, but it makes me feel like I've done everything possible short of buying a high priced af
Removing weight from near the axis of ratation does little to reduse angular momentum. But loosing 6 lbs still helps. Nowm, if I could loose those love handles... Dave _______________________________

An effective way to help get rid of the love handles is horse back riding. Try getting an hour or two a week at a rental stable. It is a very effective exercise for the midsection and does require a
Suggest soaking them in PB Blaster or WD40 overnight and then try wiggling them back and forth with the correct spanner. If that fails try using heat and a BFH. You might want to take a painkiller f
