Hello all,
 
I need to replace the radiator shroud on my TR6 and do not want
to go the original paper or aluminum route. I noticed Victoria British has a
plastic one. I would greatly appreciate any feedback if anyone has anyone
purchased one and what they think of it.
 
Thank you,

I have one, and its nice, but stainless is like chrome and takes a lot  of 
polishing.

I would think you could go to a plastics supplier and using your old one 
create a new one out of plastic.  I don't know that it would be cheaper or 
better tho

Message-ID: <201112031408.060010@ms01.consolidated.net>

I am having some headlight and other lighting issues with my '70 TR-6. All my 
exterior lighting plus the radio have failed. There are 2 relays next to the wiper 
motor and the lower relay I suspect to be the culprit as it is making some strange 
noises when I try the flasher. I did not think the lights fed off a relay but I could be 
wrong. I think the upper relay is for the horn which works fine as well as the rest of 
the electrics on the car. Does this lower relay have anything to do with the 
symptoms? Thanks for any help.

I too had this experience with Dan's book.  After carefully reading  
his write up on ammeters and voltage gages I realized the reason my  
ammeter was showing that the alternator was charging was because it  
WAS overcharging. The battery, which I hope didn't get cooked too  
much, was up to 13.1 volts not running and the alternator was putting  
out 14.85 at times all of which exceeded the numbers in Dan Master's  
book.  Thanks once again Dan.  His thoughts on ammeters and voltage  
gages is interesting with the pros going in favor of an ammeter.  And  
in this case watching my ammeter, and knowing something was not  
looking normal, gave me information that helped ID the alternator  
issue, information you wouldn't get from a voltage meter according to  
Dan.

  The NAPA alternator is going back...lifetime warranties are nice.   
Never had one overcharge.  Bearings yes, no charge yes, dead out of  
box yes, but this was new.

I thought that The Roadster Factory made a very nice plastic one that was
embossed with the same pattern as the original ones had.

I opted for the Black Powder Coated one from GoodParts, looks great, works
fine, no upkeep required ...

Can anyone confirm this statement I came across.

  "Armstrong brand GSA 272 front tube shocks are the brand that were  
originally installed at the Triumph factory."

I know Armstrong made the rear lever arm shocks...I'm running those  
now with the Apple HD rebuild upgrade.

Apparently Armstrong was bought out by Monroe and the front shocks  
haven't been made since 1991.  I came across a pair of NOS shocks and  
thought I'd do a little research on them.

Thanks

Bud---I still have the "Blue" Armstrong shocks that came with my '73, in a box somewhere. I replaced them with a pair of Konis in 1983 and they're still on the front. Best $86 I ever spent on the car. Adjust them once about 10 years ago. Still doing the job.

I took a call from a guy here in Las Vegas who has lost interest in his MG-TF
1250.  Hasn't run for about 20 years but does have a rebuilt engine.  Has been
in Las Vegas for most of its life so rust may not be an issue.  Has been
garaged its entire life.  He is looking for offers in the $6,000 range.  If
interested call Mike on 702-876-7522.  NFI on my part.  I have not seen this
car--but it is certainly available for inspection.

The 1973 dollar had the same buying power as $5.16 does in 2011 , so a set 
of Koni's today is actually selling for  far less than they were in 1973, at 
$231 a pair.

The 1973 price, if paid in 2011 dollars, would be $443.76.

Dick:

Sorry, but I miss-used the word "set" for "pair".  All the figures given are 
for a "pair" of Koni's.

1973 price per pair - $86
1973 price per pair if paid with 2011 dollars - $443.76.
2011 price in 2011 dollars - $231 on sale at Koni USA.

And that is what inflation did to the dollar.

I am wiring the ignition on my 250 and have located the corresponding
section of the harness.  As expected, there is a brown (live) two whites
(ignition) and a white/red (starter).  But there is also a green:  does
anyone know why this is so?  I thought green was equivalent to a post-fuse
white, i.e., those things like lights and turn signals which operate with
the ignition on.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks everyone for an enlightening discussion about Armstrong Front  
Shocks.

One thing I found was that British Parts Northwest, Rimmer Bros., (and  
probably others) sell shocks with the GSA272 part number.  They fit  
TR4A-TR6s.

In Dan Master's book, for TR 250's and early TR-6's, there is no
green wire going to the ignition switch. Are you sure that a PO did not place
this there or that is not a lead going to the fan motor?

Thanks for the feedback.  The general consensus is that the green feeds the
fan motor.  You guys are great - Marry Christmas!

flashing??

Oh, there is a red light on the dash that flashes too on a 250/older 6 with
the rocker hazzard switch.

Well......let me start by saying, I am amazed that so much does work, given
(a) I wired the car, and (b) many instruments had been re-wired with loss of
the color codes.

But, I am embarrassed to say, turning on the hazard switch results in both
reverse (back-up) lights flashing, both right turn signals and the front
left turn signal flashing, but no left rear !!  Exactly the same happens
when I turn on the left indicator / turn signal.  Oh, and the little pilot
light on the dash - it is conspicuous by it's refusal to come on........

Oh my gosh, that's funny!!

I think you have the schematic, so you'll just have to trace it down. I recall
that it's the double-pole hazard switch that keeps the left side and right
side apart from each other when the hazard switch is off. "Double-Pole"
meaning there are two separate switches built into one, so when it is 'off'
the two sides are not connected together. But I can't even imagine how you got
the back-up lights blinking. That's too funny!

I believe the correct hazard switch is also suppose to remove current from the
turn signal circuit. Mine ( you may recall ) was built by the previous owner
from a K-mart rocker switch. It doesn't remove the current from the turn
curcuit, but this apparently causes no harm. I try to be sure the turn signals
are not on when I use the hazard switch, but made sure doing so made no smoke
leak from the system.

Good luck. Let us know if you get new results.

Sloane :)

I have a set of TR-4 seats (low-back, without head rest) that are in good
condition with original upholstery.  They have been stored in a dry basement
for 30 years.  They came from a 1963 TR-4 that passed away years ago.  If
anyone out there has a need for them, or has a friend with a TR-4 who wants
originality, they can have them for shipping costs.

I'm in central Virginia (Charlottesville.) If no one wants them I'll strip
them for the foam, which I believe matches my TR-6, and send the frames to the
junk yard.

Thanks

James Ruffner

Message-ID: <948A4C17-8B6E-48AC-8FBE-02CD538CD918@comcast.net>

List,

Does anyone know of a source for a Triumph Logo horn button for a  
Grant steering wheel?  I could have sworn I'd seen them one time, but  
can't seem to find them now.  Should have bought one back then.

I switched from a 15" wooden Moto Lito steering wheel to a 14" Grant  
GT.  I like the smaller one a lot.  Seems like a lot more room, can  
see the gages better, and its better for autocrossing.  But I would  
like a TR horn button and the Grant horn button is considerably  
smaller than the TR logo horn button for the Moto Lito.

Thanks
Bud Rolofson

Message-ID: <201112152356.060059@ms01.consolidated.net>

Before I start putting in the column headlight switch on my '70 6 I realize the 
harness wires are one pain in the butt especially squeezing in with the OD and Turn 
signal harness. Any techniques out there to make the job just a little easier? I have 
already thought of removing the sheath around the wires and attacking it one wire 
at a time, taping after done. Thanks.

You gotta love these cars.  Turn signals and hazard lights now working.
Problems discovered along the way:

1. Faulty hazard flasher - explains why the hazard light was not working on
the dash.
2. Green red / green brown error in the (new) wiring harness - explains why
the back-up lights were flashing and the turn signal was not.
3.  Faulty (new) hazard relay.

For #3, I borrowed a relay from a friend's TR6 - but not before I had pulled
the turn switch.  Also found switches are easier to remove than re-install.

As Marv Gruber reminded me, I need to keep telling myself this stuff is
fun........

Bud, the few times that I have needed a stick on TRIUMPH emblem I have had
good luck with these guys.

Might be worth an email to them with the dimensions that you need for that
Grant wheel and see what they have.

Subject: [6pack] TR Horn Button for Grant Steering Wheel?

List,

Does anyone know of a source for a Triumph Logo horn button for a Grant
steering wheel?  I could have sworn I'd seen them one time, but can't seem to
find them now.  Should have bought one back then.

I switched from a 15" wooden Moto Lito steering wheel to a 14" Grant GT.  I
like the smaller one a lot.  Seems like a lot more room, can see the gages
better, and its better for autocrossing.  But I would like a TR horn button
and the Grant horn button is considerably smaller than the TR logo horn button
for the Moto Lito.

Thanks
Bud Rolofson

I just wished to voice support for the Generac brand--a top quality product throughout.  US-made, better built than they need to be, parts available, etc. Not cheap, but well worth the price. 

I have only had mine for a couple years, but zero problems so far.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Which Generator to Buy

Hello Everyone,

I am once more going out to the list for your knowledge.  I am looking to buy
a portable generator.  My last one has a burnt out stator and parts are no
longer available.  It is a Coleman Powermate Maxa 5000 ER with a Tecumseh 10
hp engine. If anyone has a good stator or is in need of a unit with a burnt
out stator (the engine runs great and has hardly been used) lets talk.

What do you recommend as a brand and or model? I was looking for something in
the 8000 watt range.  The generator repair shop which checked out my old unit
recommended Generac as a good brand to go with.  Looking at their generators
they offer so many different types in the same power range.

Appreciate any advice you can give me.

Happy New Year,

Good discussion on generators.  As we (our "business" minds) outsource more
and more to China, we are importing lower quality and in the process killing
our own capabilities.  I always try to buy "made in USA" (or Europe) whenever
possible.

Unfortunately, many old names of small, portable generators have gone away -
Kohler and Onan to name two. The Coleman line was definitely an entry level
series. Portables have become a commodity where many people look at only
price and as a result, many units are off-off shore in orgin. My suggestion
- find a local dealer who can offer service on the engine as well as the
generator head. Briggs has their own line now, with an extensive dealer
network. Winco is another American brand. I purchased a Voltmaster 2 bearing
unit that I direct coupled to an 11 hp Briggs with a Lovejoy coupling. Seems
good so far. With most generators direct mounted to a tapered crankshaft,
you don't want to be in the position that either the generator or engine is
no longer available down the road should you have to replace one end or the
other. Generac is another good name, using their own engines. My 50 year old
12 kw Onan powered by a Toyota diesel works great as a stationary, 1800 rpm
unit.

I spent 5 years at medical school in Edinburgh, Scotland, where New Year is
known as Hogmanay and people do daft things like "first footing" - knock on
the door of a stranger's house and offer him a piece of coal.  Tradition
dictates the owner will decline the coal, but instead offer you a drink of
Scotch - either neat or with a little water.

Also in Edinburgh there is an intersection of two streets - The Royal Mile
and the Bridges, where young women traditionally kiss police officers at
midnight.  I have never seen so many cops:  of course, many, like me, were
students who just happened to have police costumes......

Happy Hogmanay to all.  And, as the Irish say - slainte (cheers !)
