 After reading about the gas tank warnings here in b-c cars
an tragic accident occurred locally here that i thought may 
further alert potential gas tank work!

This weekend, a local enthusiast, collector and owner was welding on
the exhaust of one of his seven TR6's and "accidentally cut thru the
gas tank" ???? the result was an explosion that burnt 70% of his
anatomy not to mention totally destroyed ALL SEVEN TR's and 3 to 5 
other classics (beleived to be MGA , jag,and ???).

        Details are sketchy as the local paper didn't say much else.



        BTW : Does anyone know of any pros or cons as far as 
brands of clutches ??
                ie  BORG & BECK ; LUK ??  ; other 
        (application is 75 TR6)

thanks in advance  -  jeff
