Recently I asked for advice from the list regarding replacement of a leaking
clutch slave cylinder on my TR6. The advice was overwhelmingly to rebuild.
I did, and the clutch seems to work fine. Bought a Lucas/Girling kit from
Moss and parts fit perfectly. THANKS!
Regarding the Monza exhaust, I bought one at the same time I replaced my
cracked ex. manifold with a header. Hated the sound, and the pipes were too
short, blackening my rear valence with soot. In addition, I attribute the
loss of an elect. fuel pump to the heat from the driver's side pipe.
To remedy this exhausting problem, I cut the driver's side pipe off at the
"Y" (early TR6 system) and welded on a blanking plate. Next I used an
extension piece to lengthen the remaining pipe to the single muffler, now
hanging on the pass. side. This was to be a temporary solution until I had
$$ to redo the system.
Well, almost 4 years later I am still running my half-a-Monza exhaust. It
looks right, and is almost a straight-shot out from the header. And the
sound? Big Healey owners drool over the sound. It's really cool. Many a
car-nut has said that they love the sound. Best of all I have a spare
muffler in the garage.
