- I don't know the answer about the TR6 trunnion or flipping the trunnions over. The easiest was to lower a TR3 is to take material off the donuts on top of the springs. Remember, you are dealing with

- The working cap on my TR-4 has between 40 and 50 thou of height difference between the cap measurement and the radiator "well" measurement. The cap measures 0.780 to 0.790 and the radiator measures 0

- Group: Just for the record, the TR6 suspension will bolt directly onto the TR3. You can lower the car by inverting the lower A arms, or cutting the aluminum spacer if you are using it (as Larry did s

- Correct, but don't forget the vertical link. If you keep the TR6 caliper bracket, I believe you'll also need the later (smaller) rotor & caliper. -- Randall _________________________________________

- True, if you can reliably detect when it opens. In my case it was leaking even below 'opening' pressure. I wasn't sure if the problem was the cap or elsewhere, hence the static test (which showed th

- Incorrect. For the purest's. the TR3 caliper is a direct bolt on to the TR6 caliper bracket. The TR3 caliper, rotor and hub can be retained. To do the mod one needs the TR6 upper A arms, vertical lin
