Good luck with the project. It will be worth all the hard work. I love to drive my TR6 over all my other British toys. The rear fender beading was original on very early 69 cars only. Is it an early

I'm slowly making progress on the 57 TR3. I bought a new ground strap and I can't remember where it gets attached. (Actually, the car was so patched up I'm sure it was not connected per factory anywa

Quite right, as usual John. Except I have two Stags, and that switch does not work properly on either of them. The TR3 handbrake lever is quite a bit different than the later cars; it actually mount

If you installed an ignition kill switch on the hand brake, how would you handle the situation of starting on a steep hill? I use the hand brake to hold the car in position while one foot is on the c

Hi Bill, Just remember - Nothing is foolproof for a sufficiently determined fool. When my wife came back in my TR3 it looked like it was on fire because of all the smoke coming from the rear brakes.

A couple of years ago I installed a Maradyne heater in my TR3A. It was designed for a farm tractor, but fit in the TR. I got the idea from HVDA who did the same. It has worked very well compared to t

The fact that your supply pipe is only warm and your return pipe is cold suggests a coolant flow restriction. If the heater core itself is flowing freely then check the supply and return paths. The s

Nice of you to respond. I just found another member of the list who lives locally to me and he has the same exact issue. When he put a infrared thermo on it, the temp was right, the gauge was wrong.

Hi List! Well I thought that Randall had a good idea of placing a switch on the Hand Brake (HB). The type that works like the refrigerator switch. When the door is closed (the HB is down & not engage

Although enticing there are times when you may not want a 'kill switch' connected to the handbrake - like when you are working on the car - in neutral - front (or rear) on stands and you want to run

IMO the whole lockout idea would not suit me at all. For one thing, I generally start the engine first, with the handbrake still set, so that I can use my right foot on the throttle (as needed to ke

That's as elegant a solution as any, but for the O.P., why not wire the handbrake switch to a really big red light on the dash? An LED would be unobtrusive when off, but you can get some that are inc
