Have used DOT5 for 5 years in the TR3A without any problems. Guess if I eventually have a brake system problem I will be able to blame it on DOT5 but so far so good. BTW - this is with an old pressur

The eight screws that hold the front grille to the apron -- what should they look like? Oval-headed sheet metal screws seem most likely but would they be 'straight' or 'phillips'? Sorry, I don't reme

Thanks to Randall & Fred for their assistance with this. In the process of getting screws for the grille I learned something new (well, new to me) at the hardware store. The u-shaped fixing nuts for

When I was a kid in South Bend we had a neighbor who repainted his Studebaker every spring... just used up whatever house paint was left over. Worked for him I guess. Best compliment I ever got on my

I can't place these items off-hand... perhaps they were added by an early owner or as part of a rust-proofing effort? Generally the plugs that were original to the TR were rubber rather than plastic,

I hope you don't think that means they aren't likely to fail. I actually think the older the ignition parts are the less prone they are to sudden unexpected failure. I like the ignition for this. As

I amused myself by searching with various spellings of 'coat' and came up with a product called 'Gun Kote' that sounds close. Best part -- it is sold by "TR Products". http://tenring.com/trcoating.ht

The TR3s and early TR4s had Fahrenheit temp gauges with a mid point of 185 degrees... which I think is pretty much normal operating temp for their engines. The later TR4s went with a Celsius gauge wi

Sounds right. The spacers I used are actually 6mm which is 0.236" -- I can tell by examining the back of the wheel that neither the nuts nor the studs are fouling the wheel. You get a little 'help' b

Did you use a clear-coat on top of the silver? I find this gives a warmer more medium grey tone... but perhaps still not as dark as you like. BTW -- isn't "Argent Silver" just a bit redundant? Geo H
