Is it vintage legal to have a modified air cleaner to route cold outside air into the carbs (from ducting fitted to the removed headlights) as an alternative to putting in the heat baffles between th

I agree, and we've never duct'd ours, but there's a few (TR3s & TR4s) out there who do, and I don't believe SVRA watches that item that close. I think it's one of those things that OK to do, as long

When I used HS6 carbs, I drilled and tapped the vent holes or made new holes and installed a drilled out and cut off bolt that I threaded into the top (I think 1/4-20). This allowed me to install hos

They DO exist. I bought mine from Joe Curto (NFI). In my case, I run the vent hoses out of the engine compartment of the TR4 so that if a float sticks, the fuel will dump on the ground, not the heade

I gave up on them. Over the years I sensed more problems with Grose Jets than the regular ones. I believe there's the Viton tipped ones that seem to make sense.

I've had problems with the Grose jets in my own cars and won't use them. We've found when someone is having a 'stuck' float, 9 time out of ten, it's a Grose jet. The other time we find it's a float t

In 1990 when I restored my 1958 TR3A, I re-built my twin SU carbs and put in Grose Jets. I have to agree that if you get good ones, they're good for a long time. Mine have been in since 1990 with no
