That sounds like a decent deal to me. Obviously, you'll need knockoffs and wire wheels themselves ;-); beyond that, all you need to do is shorten the wheel studs (I forget exactly how much) and purch

Mike, that's good to know. I'd bought a set of wheels, splined hubs and knockoffs years ago, but I've never gotten around to trying them on a car. Maybe if I didn't procrastinate so much....! Still

Basically true, except that we "colonists" also got a lot of the Heralds with the "GA" prefix engines, lacking the Spit cam. For these engines, I recall that the conversion also involved new rod and/

FWIW, I believe the black surround began for the 1970 model year on the TR6, much as it did for Spitfire and GT6+ of that year. Sort of a "corporate" thing, but not continued on Spitfires and GT6s as

You're pretty much right on all counts. The 68 would have come with a crash-first box and a 4.11:1 diff, and the 71 would most likely have had a 3.89:1. The greatest difference in the two gearboxes (
