Having a standard for emission controls has little or nothing to do with actually testing for emissions. When I bought my 1959 TR3A here in CA around 1984, the law at that time did require emissions
Note however that there may be a subtle difference : other cars may not have the same range of motion as the TR, and the gear sets the range of motion by where the peg is located. That is what the n
FWIW, I agree with Bill. Another thought, perhaps you could de-tune the MGB motor to limit its torque to roughly that of the original motor. If you keep the original rear axle, I think your chance o
While Croesus might be hiding in this crowd, it sure isn't me. I donate because I enjoy the Team.Net services and would like to see them continue. Trust me, you wouldn't appreciate the contents of m
Wouldn't that kind of defeat the whole purpose of having marque-specific lists? If you really want to see ALL the traffic, just sign up for all the lists. Drove the 'project' TR3 on the local club's
They are wrong, assuming you are talking about the stock TR3 setup. The voltage stabilizer started with the TR4 gauge set. The TR3 used a "balanced" fuel gauge that does not require a voltage stabil
Only when using voltage-sensitive gauges. It's not difficult to build a gauge that effectively compares the current through the sender with the current through a known resistor; making it relatively
Any motorcycle shop, or LBC vendor, will have a set of chemicals for the purpose. Most popular seems to be the Novus 3-part system (which can also be found at Home Depot & Wal-Mart), but there are l
I'm afraid you have it wired incorrectly. The bulbs have two filaments; the low power/brightness filament should be wired for tail/marker lights and the high power/brightness filament should be wire
Not surprising! The test they show at the beginning would only apply if the generator was being spun at several thousand rpm. I believe so, yes. Well, there are some caveats. Most importantly, you s
So, what kind of controls do you have? Pick some point in the circuit, check to see if there is voltage there when the fan should be on. If you find voltage, move towards the fan and try again. If n
I have not paid any attention to this incident, but when I received a very similar email from a different Team.Net list/member a few months ago, I did some investigation. The fraudulent email did NO
I put chrome "tubeless" Daytons on my Stag in 2004. One wheel was found to have broken spokes a year later, but they replaced it under warranty. Of course, that didn't include the cost to drive back
I can't help directly, Roland, but I do have two suggestions: 1) Call around. There are more places than you might expect that have the equipment and knowledge. Few years ago, I had to buy 2 new tir
Sorry, I don't. But have you considered just having your old plate rebuilt? My local FLAPS can send out almost anything as long as the hub is in good condition. -- Randall __________________________
Could be a worn synchro, but it's unusual (in my limited experience) for the 4th gear synchro to wear out first. I would also check the force required to move the shift ring on the hub (which is how
I think Joe's main objection is that they (the alloy flywheels) are relatively fragile and prone to fail under racing conditions. At any rate, I've been running one on the street for several years n
The flywheel was Hopefully this is obvious, but JIC : You need to check for runout with the flywheel actually installed on the crank. The problem may not be the clutch surface, but the joint between
Yup, pretty close. Some of the model- or even make-specific lists are pretty active, but not much traffic here. -- Randall _______________________________________________ British-cars@autox.team.net
