Well, I had thought the same thing. I used a slightly undersize reamer to account for this and for wobble when manually turning the reamer. I also put a slight bevel on the corner of the cutting flut

Bob and Jerry Thanks for your quick replies. The bar as Jerry describes his is probably not going to work for me. My tow loops on the front of the frame are filled with my front sway bar. I managed t

Geo, Good suggestion. You may be right. Let me explain my thinking. I don't think that the 44 strand wire would melt before the 50A fusible link. Certainly, the 50A is greater than the 44 strand is r

Randall, Thanks. I fashioned a tool out of some steel I had lying around. I bent it about 3/16" from the end at a right angle, then heat treated it with a MAPP torch, quenched it for "hardening" and

Randall, I just checked my TR4/4A workshop manual. It lists RHD Home market bulbs as 60/36 watts. For left hand drive, it is either 36/36 or 45/40. So, my measurement of 46/37 is pretty close to the

Ed, I can't comment on the valve spring dimensions (nor the spring rate). Doesn?t the ROM say anything about this? As for the aluminum push rod tubes, I oserved that mine are aluminum too. It is not

Guy, I agree with Randall, your power supply is probably totally inadequate. Even a small 12v gellcell battery is not really up to the task. A lawnmower battery (or larger) would be good. Use an inli

Gary, I had an easy time using a dremel cut-off wheel to make the back-cuts on the flutes to get it to cut toward the shank. It was easy enough to do by hand. I'm not sure I would shell out $80 to ha

I am thinking of adding driving lights to my TR4A. Due to the hood tipping forward, clearance is a real issue. Positioning needs to be pretty tight to the grille so they won?t interfere with the hood
