I am from Vancouver BC  Canada. I am told we have the highest gas prices in
North America. Currently the price for regular (87 Octane) is about $2
CAD/liter. My last fill up for the Honda was $1.95 CAD/liter. $1.95 CAD =
$1.52 USD x 3.785 liters/US Gal  = *$5.76* USD/US Gal..... I haven't filled
up the TR4 recently but I put 93 octane in it which will cost a lot more.

<br>
Alright, here&#39;s a question for the archivists...<br>
<br>
Am about to get my &#39;Longdoor&#39; TR2 painted, and need advice about un=
der <br>
the bonnet (hood in USA)<br>
<br>
Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inner guards from the <b=
r>
scuttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads of the bolts (6 <br>
each side) and washer underneath are visible. Anyone know for sure if <br>
they were just painted in the body colour along with everything else, or <b=
r>
unpainted &amp; cadmium plated?<br>
<br>
I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the car is running <br>
again &amp; I have done a few miles and everything has settled I will need =
<br>
to go round all those bolts and check if they need tightening again. If <br=
I do need to tighten them then I will probably damage the paint on the <br>
hex sides of the bolts unless there is some trick way to protect them <br>
when I put the socket onto them?<br>
<br>
All thoughts / suggestions gratefully accepted.<br>

&gt;&gt;&gt; I?ve been using a friends Spitfire for the last ten days and t=
oday<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; decided to top off the tank, even though it was still half ful=
l. Toured<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; around the local gas stations to find out where the cheapest f=
uel might be<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; available. To compare like with like and remembering one US ga=
llon is<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; effectively 3.8 litres (gas is only sold by the litre in the U=
.K.) the<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; cheapest was one US gallon cost USD 8.77. Just after lunch I p=
assed the<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; same gas station where the price I paid this morning had risen=
 from 8.77 to<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; 9..12.=C2=A0 Diesel was even more! Thankfully, a pint of my fa=

&gt;&gt;&gt; hasn?t changed - yet.<br>

=C2=A0I seem to recall that they are painted body colour (ie: the body was =
assembled before painting).? When I assembled my car I used stainless steel=
 fasteners and and left them unpainted.? The appearance is striking with th=
e shimmering screw heads (which will remain shiny forever more) but I&#39;l=
l bet it will be points off in a concours.<br>
I rather doubt they will need re-torquing if they are sufficiently snugged =
up during initial assembly.? I never had any issues.<br>
Enjoy the activity.<br>

I seem to recall that they are painted body colour (ie: the body was assemb=

Subject: [TR] Front Fender bolt heads<br>
Alright, here&#39;s a question for the archivists...<br>
Am about to get my &#39;Longdoor&#39; TR2 painted, and need advice about un=
der the bonnet (hood in USA)<br>
Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inner guards from the sc=
uttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads of the bolts (6 each s=
ide)=C2=A0 and washer underneath are visible. Anyone know for sure if they =
were just painted in the body colour along with everything else, or unpaint=
ed &amp; cadmium plated?<br>
I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the car is running again =
&amp; I have done a few miles and everything has settled=C2=A0 I will need =
to go round all those bolts and check if they need tightening again. If I d=
o need to tighten them then I will probably damage the paint on the hex sid=
es of the bolts unless there is some trick way to protect them when I put t=
he socket onto them?<br>
All thoughts / suggestions gratefully accepted.<br>

&gt; I seem to recall that they are painted body colour (ie: the body was<b=

&gt; I rather doubt they will need re-torquing if they are sufficiently snu=

&gt;<br>
&gt; Alright, here&#39;s a question for the archivists...<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Am about to get my &#39;Longdoor&#39; TR2 painted, and need advice abo=
ut under the<br>
&gt; bonnet (hood in USA)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inner guards from t=
he<br>
&gt; scuttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads of the bolts (6=
 each<br>
&gt; side)=C2=A0 and washer underneath are visible. Anyone know for sure if=
 they were<br>
&gt; just painted in the body colour along with everything else, or unpaint=
ed &amp;<br>
&gt; cadmium plated?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the car is running a=
gain<br>
&gt; &amp; I have done a few miles and everything has settled=C2=A0 I will =
need to go<br>
&gt; round all those bolts and check if they need tightening again. If I do=
 need<br>
&gt; to tighten them then I will probably damage the paint on the hex sides=
 of<br>
&gt; the bolts unless there is some trick way to protect them when I put th=
e<br>
&gt; socket onto them?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; All thoughts / suggestions gratefully accepted.<br>

Not just the bolts, but the unpainted portion of the fender or washer that<=

was under the bolt before you turned it.=C2=A0 Two thoughts: Did the factor=

never needed to tighten them? and You will probably have to re-spray the<br=
bolts of you do wind up moving them.<br>
<br>
You might have success if you protect the flats with blue painters tape to<=

test for tightness, but once it moves I don&#39;t see any solution that doe=
sn&#39;t<br>
involve more paint.<br>

Good question.=C2=A0 Many restored TRs have unpainted fasteners and are not=
 usually faulted during judging at shows.=C2=A0 Everything was painted from=
 the factory, because the bodies were painted fully assembled (minus the fr=
ont apron).=C2=A0 They were even primed, red oxide, assembled.=C2=A0 When a=
 car that was original is disassembled, there is primer behind the apron, b=
ut no paint where areas can&#39;t be reached once the apron had been instal=
led.=C2=A0 So, there was no paint or primer under the washers or door hinge=
s or between the fenders and tub.=C2=A0 Dumb dumb was used as sealer, gaske=
t material between the fenders (wings) and the tub.=C2=A0 <br>
I painted everything disassembled and carefully painted the fasteners separ=
ately too,=C2=A0 when I restored my TR3.=C2=A0 The car had never been apart=
 before.=C2=A0 I paid close attention and photo documented every detail dur=
ing disassembly.=C2=A0 I was able to assemble the body without chipping the=
 paint on the fasteners too much, then did a little touch up later.=C2=A0 I=
nstalling the fender beading after the paint was applied at the factory see=
ms challenging, but perhaps certain fasteners were left loose.=C2=A0 Like t=
he three bolts below the tail lights and screws along the truck lid and the=
 two under the scuttle/cowl panel for the front fenders.=C2=A0 <br>
Good luck with your TR2.<br>

rything else, or unpainted &amp; cadmium plated?<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0I assume they were painted, and imagine that once t=

Message: 1

Am about to get my 'Longdoor' TR2 painted, and need advice about under=20
the bonnet (hood in USA)

Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inner guards from the=20
scuttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads of the bolts (6=20
each side) and washer underneath are visible. Anyone know for sure if=20
they were just painted in the body colour along with everything else, or=20
unpainted & cadmium plated?

I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the car is running=20
again & I have done a few miles and everything has settled I will need=20
to go round all those bolts and check if they need tightening again. If=20
I do need to tighten them then I will probably damage the paint on the=20
hex sides of the bolts unless there is some trick way to protect them=20
when I put the socket onto them?

=C2=A0I?ve been using a friends Spitfire for the last ten days and today
decided to top off the tank, even though it was still half full. Toured
around the local gas stations to find out where the cheapest fuel might be
available. To compare like with like and remembering one US gallon is
effectively 3.8 litres (gas is only sold by the litre in the U.K.) the
cheapest was one US gallon cost USD 8.77. Just after lunch I passed the
same gas station where the price I paid this morning had risen from 8.77 to
9..12.=C2=A0 Diesel was even more! Thankfully, a pint of my favourite beer
hasn?t changed - yet.

Good question.=C2=A0 Many restored TRs have unpainted fasteners and are not=
 usually faulted during judging at shows.=C2=A0 Everything was painted from=
 the factory, because the bodies were painted fully assembled (minus the fr=
ont apron).=C2=A0 They were even primed, red oxide, assembled.=C2=A0 When a=
 car that was original is disassembled, there is primer behind the apron, b=
ut no paint where areas can't be reached once the apron had been installed.=
=C2=A0 So, there was no paint or primer under the washers or door hinges or=
 between the fenders and tub.=C2=A0 Dumb dumb was used as sealer, gasket ma=
terial between the fenders (wings) and the tub.=C2=A0=20
I painted everything disassembled and carefully painted the fasteners separ=
ately too,=C2=A0 when I restored my TR3.=C2=A0 The car had never been apart=
 before.=C2=A0 I paid close attention and photo documented every detail dur=
ing disassembly.=C2=A0 I was able to assemble the body without chipping the=
 paint on the fasteners too much, then did a little touch up later.=C2=A0 I=
nstalling the fender beading after the paint was applied at the factory see=
ms challenging, but perhaps certain fasteners were left loose.=C2=A0 Like t=
he three bolts below the tail lights and screws along the truck lid and the=
 two under the scuttle/cowl panel for the front fenders.=C2=A0=20
Good luck with your TR2.

>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0Alright, here's a question for the archivists...
>=20
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0Am about to get my 'Longdoor' TR2 painted, and need ad=
vice about under the bonnet (hood in USA)
>=20
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inn=
er guards from the scuttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads o=
f the bolts (6 each side)=C2=A0 and washer underneath are visible. Anyone k=
now for sure if they were just painted in the body colour along with everyt=
hing else, or unpainted & cadmium plated?
>=20
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the =
car is running again & I have done a few miles and everything has settled=
=C2=A0 I will need to go round all those bolts and check if they need tight=
ening again. If I do need to tighten them then I will probably damage the p=
aint on the hex sides of the bolts unless there is some trick way to protec=
t them when I put the socket onto them?

<br>
Alright, here's a question for the archivists...<br>
<br>
Am about to get my 'Longdoor' TR2 painted, and need advice about under <br>
the bonnet (hood in USA)<br>
<br>
Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inner guards from the <b=
r>
scuttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads of the bolts (6 <br>
each side) and washer underneath are visible. Anyone know for sure if <br>
they were just painted in the body colour along with everything else, or <b=
r>
unpainted &amp; cadmium plated?<br>
<br>
I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the car is running <br>
again &amp; I have done a few miles and everything has settled I will need =
<br>
to go round all those bolts and check if they need tightening again. If <br=
I do need to tighten them then I will probably damage the paint on the <br>
hex sides of the bolts unless there is some trick way to protect them <br>
when I put the socket onto them?<br>
<br>
All thoughts / suggestions gratefully accepted.<br>

&gt;&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; today decided to top off the tan=
k, even though it was still<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; half full. Toured around the loc=
al gas stations to find out<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; where the cheapest fuel might be=
 available. To compare like<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; with like and remembering one US=
 gallon is effectively 3.8<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; litres (gas is only sold by the =
litre in the U.K.) the<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; cheapest was one US gallon cost =
USD 8.77. Just after lunch I<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; passed the same gas station wher=
e the price I paid this<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; morning had risen from 8.77 to 9=
..12. Diesel was even more!<br>
&gt;&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Thankfully, a pint of my favouri=
te beer hasn?t changed - yet.<br>

&nbsp;I seem to recall that they are painted body colour (ie: the body was =
assembled before painting).? When I assembled my car I used stainless steel=
 fasteners and and left them unpainted.? The appearance is striking with th=
e shimmering screw heads (which will remain shiny forever more) but I'll be=
t it will be points off in a concours.<br>
I rather doubt they will need re-torquing if they are sufficiently snugged =
up during initial assembly.? I never had any issues.<br>
Enjoy the activity.<br>

Alright,here's a question for the archivists... Amabout to get my 'Longdoor=
' TR2 painted, and need adviceabout under the bonnet (hood in USA) Wherethe=
 front guards/fenders are bolted onto the innerguards from the scuttle/fire=
wall forward to the front apron, the headsof the bolts(6 each side) ?and wa=
sher underneath arevisible. Anyone know for sure if they were just painted =
in the bodycolour alongwith everything else, or unpainted &amp; cadmium pla=
ted?&nbsp; Iassume they were painted, and i<br>
&nbsp;magine that once the car isrunning again &amp; I have done a few mile=
s and everything has settled ?I will need to go round all those bolts andch=
eck if they need tightening again. If I do need to tighten them thenI willp=
robably damage the paint on the hex sides of the bolts unless there issomet=
rick way to protect them when I put the socket onto them? Allthoughts / sug=
gestions gratefully accepted. Alan TS3612 AW &amp; LJ Dunscombe<br>

I seem to recall that they are painted body colour (ie: the body was assemb=
led before painting).&nbsp; When I assembled my car I used stainless steel =
fasteners and and left them unpainted.&nbsp; The appearance is striking wit=
h the shimmering screw heads (which will remain shiny forever more) but I'l=
l bet it will be points off in a concours.<br>
<br>
I rather doubt they will need re-torquing if they are sufficiently snugged =
up during initial assembly.&nbsp; I never had any issues.<br>
<br>
Enjoy the activity.<br>

Alright, here's a question for the archivists...<br>
Am about to get my 'Longdoor' TR2 painted, and need advice about under the =
bonnet (hood in USA)<br>
Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inner guards from the sc=
uttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads of the bolts (6 each s=
ide)&nbsp; and washer underneath are visible. Anyone know for sure if they =
were just painted in the body colour along with everything else, or unpaint=
ed &amp; cadmium plated?<br>
I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the car is running again =
&amp; I have done a few miles and everything has settled&nbsp; I will need =
to go round all those bolts and check if they need tightening again. If I d=
o need to tighten them then I will probably damage the paint on the hex sid=
es of the bolts unless there is some trick way to protect them when I put t=
he socket onto them?<br>

I?ve been using a friends Spitfire for the last ten days and today<br>
<br>
decided to top off the tank, even though it was still half full. Toured<br>
<br>
around the local gas stations to find out where the cheapest fuel might be<=
br>
<br>
available. To compare like with like and remembering one US gallon is<br>
<br>
effectively 3.8 litres (gas is only sold by the litre in the U.K.) the<br>
<br>
cheapest was one US gallon cost USD 8.77. Just after lunch I passed the<br>
<br>
same gas station where the price I paid this morning had risen from 8.77 to=
<br>
<br>
9..12.&nbsp; Diesel was even more! Thankfully, a pint of my favourite beer<=

<br>
hasn?t changed - yet.<br>

&gt; Yes, body color.&nbsp; And I believe you can get sockets with coated i=
nsides.<br>
&gt; Or just be really careful and don?t lean into it<br>

&gt; I seem to recall that they are painted body colour (ie: the body was<b=
r>
&gt; assembled before painting).&nbsp; When I assembled my car I used stain=
less steel<br>
&gt; fasteners and and left them unpainted.&nbsp; The appearance is strikin=
g with the<br>
&gt; shimmering screw heads (which will remain shiny forever more) but I'll=
 bet<br>
&gt; it will be points off in a concours.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I rather doubt they will need re-torquing if they are sufficiently snu=
gged<br>
&gt; up during initial assembly.&nbsp; I never had any issues.<br>
&gt;<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; Alright, here's a question for the archivists...<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Am about to get my 'Longdoor' TR2 painted, and need advice about under=
 the<br>
&gt; bonnet (hood in USA)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the inner guards from t=
he<br>
&gt; scuttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the heads of the bolts (6=
 each<br>
&gt; side)&nbsp; and washer underneath are visible. Anyone know for sure if=
 they were<br>
&gt; just painted in the body colour along with everything else, or unpaint=
ed &amp;<br>
&gt; cadmium plated?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I assume they were painted, and imagine that once the car is running a=
gain<br>
&gt; &amp; I have done a few miles and everything has settled&nbsp; I will =
need to go<br>
&gt; round all those bolts and check if they need tightening again. If I do=
 need<br>
&gt; to tighten them then I will probably damage the paint on the hex sides=
 of<br>
&gt; the bolts unless there is some trick way to protect them when I put th=
e<br>
&gt; socket onto them?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; All thoughts / suggestions gratefully accepted.<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;half full. Toured around the local ga=

&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;where the cheapest fuel might be avai=

&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;with like and remembering one US gall=
on is effectively 3.8<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;litres (gas is only sold by the litre=
 in the U.K.) the<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;cheapest was one US gallon cost USD 8=

&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;passed the same gas station where the=
 price I paid this<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;morning had risen from 8.77 to 9..12.=
 Diesel was even more!<br>

Not just the bolts, but the unpainted portion of the fender or washer that<=
br>
was under the bolt before you turned it.&nbsp; Two thoughts: Did the factor=
y<br>
never needed to tighten them? and You will probably have to re-spray the<br=
bolts of you do wind up moving them.<br>
<br>
You might have success if you protect the flats with blue painters tape to<=
br>
test for tightness, but once it moves I don't see any solution that doesn't=
<br>
involve more paint.<br>

Good question.&nbsp; Many restored TRs have unpainted fasteners and are not=
 usually faulted during judging at shows.&nbsp; Everything was painted from=
 the factory, because the bodies were painted fully assembled (minus the fr=
ont apron).&nbsp; They were even primed, red oxide, assembled.&nbsp; When a=
 car that was original is disassembled, there is primer behind the apron, b=
ut no paint where areas can't be reached once the apron had been installed.=
&nbsp; So, there was no paint or primer under the washers or door hinges or=
 between the fenders and tub.&nbsp; Dumb dumb was used as sealer, gasket ma=
terial between the fenders (wings) and the tub.&nbsp; <br>
I painted everything disassembled and carefully painted the fasteners separ=
ately too,&nbsp; when I restored my TR3.&nbsp; The car had never been apart=
 before.&nbsp; I paid close attention and photo documented every detail dur=
ing disassembly.&nbsp; I was able to assemble the body without chipping the=
 paint on the fasteners too much, then did a little touch up later.&nbsp; I=
nstalling the fender beading after the paint was applied at the factory see=
ms challenging, but perhaps certain fasteners were left loose.&nbsp; Like t=
he three bolts below the tail lights and screws along the truck lid and the=
 two under the scuttle/cowl panel for the front fenders.&nbsp; <br>
Good luck with your TR2.<br>

&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Alright, here's a question for the archivists...<br=
&gt; <br>
&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Am about to get my 'Longdoor' TR2 painted, and need=
 advice about under the bonnet (hood in USA)<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Where the front guards/fenders are bolted onto the =
inner guards from the scuttle/firewall forward to the front apron, the head=
s of the bolts (6 each side)&nbsp; and washer underneath are visible. Anyon=
e know for sure if they were just painted in the body colour along with eve=
rything else, or unpainted &amp; cadmium plated?<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I assume they were painted, and imagine that once t=
he car is running again &amp; I have done a few miles and everything has se=
ttled&nbsp; I will need to go round all those bolts and check if they need =
tightening again. If I do need to tighten them then I will probably damage =
the paint on the hex sides of the bolts unless there is some trick way to p=
rotect them when I put the socket onto them?<br>
&gt; <br>

tions to find out where the cheapest fuel might be available. To compare li=
ke with like and remembering one US gallon is effectively 3.8 litres (gas i=
s only sold by the litre in the U.K.) the cheapest was one US gallon cost U=
SD 8.77. Just after lunch I passed the same gas station where the price I p=
aid this morning had risen from 8.77 to 9..12.&nbsp; Diesel was even more! =
Thankfully, a pint of my favourite beer hasn?t changed - yet.<br>
