Message-ID: <8CD912990408F34-10B0-3CF1@webmail-d067.sysops.aol.com>

I'd like to get some pinstriping and decals for my TR 7 in the same light
green color used on the Group 44 Racing cars. Can anyone help with a paint
color code or color name or some identification I can go to the decal maker
with?

Thanks,

Peter Egan tells a nice story about how Triumphs should never be scrapped, in
this month's (March issue) of Road&Track. Many of us can relate! Especially
Andy?

I beleive that the light color on the stripe is Triton Green. You could ask here 
as they have made a replica of the Group 44 car.

Hi List,

My car has behaving itself for quite awhile but the last time I drove it  the 
ignition cut out on me 3 times, twice in the middle of  intersections shortly 
after the light turned green. The ignition just  goes completely dead, and the 
car doesn't even crank or click or  anything for about 5-10 seconds which feels 
like an eternity when  traffic is waiting on you. Obviously that doesn't make me 
very excited  to drive my car until I am able to sort out what this issue is. It 
did  this once on me a few weeks back when I was at an intersection and  shifted 
into reverse to back out of the crosswalk, but I was able to  restart the car 
before the light turned green.

So what I've got to go on so far is, ignition cuts out with out warning,  the 
head lights remain on and bright during the "time out", after a  hanful of 
seconds of turning the key the starter finally cranks and the  engine starts 
immediately. The battery is new. I am using a Crane XR700  ignition module, 
though I think that is irrelevant. 


I looked at the electrical schematic and there are only a few items that it can 
be.
1. Ignition switch
2. Starter relay
3. Seat belt interlock module (74 1/2 model)
4. Transmission neutral switch

I think I have talked my self out of faulty seat belt module and starter  relay 
because, while if they are malfunctioning they would keep the car  from 
cranking. I don't think they have a means of taking down the  ignition once the 
car is running? Does that sound reasonable?

I haven't looked that closely at the transmission neutral switch, I  think it is 
just part of the seat belt interlock module as well. 


So I think I'm left with the possibility of a faulty ignition switch,  does 
anyone have any suggestions for testing an intermittent ignition  switch short 
of just replacing it and driving the car around and hoping  for the best? 


Thanks for any ideas you can share! 

I cross posted this to the forums as well if you want to follow along there:

Check the wires on the ignition module inside the dist. Have had them rub the  dist. cam and wear off insulation. This shorts to ground and creates a problem with current flow. Can be intermittent short and drive you nuts locating it.  This was on a Speedster not my 6,  I'm just saying.     

Good luck

	My 74-1/2 had almost the exact same symptoms with stock ignition.
Turns out it was a blown fuse for the circuit that handles the power to the
interlock module - for some reason that introduces a lengthy delay before
the engine will crank.
	I don't remember what made me think it might be a blown fuse in the

Kendall---You wrote that the engine doesn't "crank, or click, or anything". If you bipass the seat belt interlock and still find the problem, I'd suggest a battery connection circuit is incomplete. (Suspect ground strap)?  One check may be to see if the red in. light, which should come on when turning the key, goes out or dims. It would certainly be more convenient if you could duplicate the problem at your home, by adding a second ground strap between the body, chassis and neg. battery post. You may want to do this anyway, for peace of mind!
  
If the engine makes no sound when turning the key to the start position, the problem is before the distributor, coil, etc.

Kendall - I would suspect that the battery feed to the ignition switch
 would be a place to begin with. If you lose both ignition as well as
 starting functions, then the common denominator might be that feed. Has
 the fuse for that feed been replaced with a re-set circuit breaker? That
 would explain the "return to normal" that you experience. As always, check
 the complete battery ground circuit, including the connection from the
 engine block to the body.

Hey Guys,
              I'm trying to locate a link to a webpage that shows the various

Besides replacing the pan itself, any recommendations for repairing a pin hole

deal with this?

Thanks for the replies, 

I had some time to look into things yesterday, I found a few things.

Not news to people who already had studied the schematics, but I found out the 
following.

The car will continue to run with:
- The starter relay unplugged
- The seat belt interlock module unplugged
- All of the fuses pulled

I  also connected the WO and WR wires going into the seat belt interlock  module 
(and left it unplugged) so that will not keep the starter from  functioning 
anymore. I've been meaning to do that for awhile, so it will  no longer be an 
issue. 


I inspected the wiring and found that the rivets on the back of the ignition 
switch were a little bit suspect. And then I was attempting to remove the  
electrical part of the ignition switch before seeing  that it was held in place 
a set screw and broke the switch. Oops. So a  new electrical portion of the 
ignition switch is definitely order and  hopefully that will be that.

Thanks for the input guys!

John,

First question is how did a pin hole get in the oil pan?

I would clean it off and have it brazed with a spot of brass.

The heat of the torch will  burn away any oil in the metal and insure a solid 
fix as long as the hole is very small. And you really can control the heat 
with a torch.

Best to have the pan off the engine for this fix.

Not sure JB weld would work unless the surface was very clean.

Hi John........Speaking as a guy who has made his living as a welder for
 the last 30 years, you have several options. The oil pan is not under 
pressure, so if it was me, I'd braze it. However, brazing is something 
that can only be done in the flat position; horizontal can be done, but 
it's tricky. Any of the welding processes would also work, but the heat 
involved in the concern. Read that as FIRE HAZARD. I would recommend 
that if you are considering these options, the pan be removed and 
thoroughly cleaned.



Epoxy and/or JB Weld depends on the surface being grease and oil free. 
If this can be arranged, this may be your best course of action. If 
either of these methods are employed, the success is directly related to
 the cleanliness of the affected area. The good news is that either of 
these methods would probably work with the pan installed on the engine.



Of course, all of the above assumes that the size of the hole is small. You neglected to inform the list of it's diameter.



Feel free to contact me if you have any concerns or questions. Best of luck!

See http://www.pattonmachine.com/FanEliminator.htm

This can also be seen on Bob Danielson's very helpful website

Art puts together an excellent package at a very good price. We can argue 
the benefits of an aluminum radiator (cost vs any additional cooling 
advantage) but hopefully we can agree that they look very cool.  In any 
case........... if you want to see the package that Art offers, you can view 
it here http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/Radiator.htm

And Steve.............cold in Houston gets you no sympathy form those of us

It is called "Marketing".

They have also created a very large support industry just to keep the Windows

With all the free Linux systems available, I am not too sure why so many stick

Thanks Dave and all who replied to my help ad. I just E mailed Arthur Lipp 
to get some info on his radiator setup which along with Rick Patton's Fan 
Eliminator looks like a good fit when it looks like a puller is needed to 
fit with an oil cooler. Nice looking set-up. See what Art says.

Message-ID: <986732.5021.qm@web161214.mail.bf1.yahoo.com>

Does anyone out there have a good photo of the bracket that holds the AC
compressor to the motor?  I have a newly fabricated bracket from my AC guy
that 
looks strange and would like to compare it to the original.  I know AC
is not at 
the top of most of your lists at the moment but it is in the high
60s today here 
in Fla and it gets hot early.

PS:  If anyone
was geared up to send money to Herman why not send it to Mark at 
the Fat
Chance Garage instead, at least we get something from him.

Subject: [6pack] Looking for Brake Rotor Recommendations
Message-ID: <784714.58397.qm@web65609.mail.ac4.yahoo.com>

I found the following drilled and slotted brake rotors on ebay for TR6

1) 
TRW/Girling/Lucas for $117
2)  Stoptech for $136
3)   EBCs are over $200    
The drilled and slottted are not so much for any brake performance increase. 
I'm putting on Rota 8 spoke racing wheels, so need to look good underneath!  
Sigh, the calipers are now looking a little shabby.    You'll be able to see
my 
finned aluminum drums through the back wheels.

I'm leaning toward the
Stoptechs,  but any recommendations?  

Thank you,

Bruce Simms

You could get the twin ss sports system with the full header for 705 +

Tempting, but lots of projects.  
Guess I could sub this out to a good muffler

Do these

Yes,
It fits right up. No problem.

Make sure its still within spec,  the ones I found were at the limit.
Take an old drum with it to a machine shop, they can match it up.  The hub 
needs to be opened up a touch.

Hi Dave
Keep warm up there. CT got a lot of snow, too, maybe more than Maine.

In order to clear the backing plate, the 240Z drums need to be machined and 
the diameter of the drum enlarged 0.080" on a side by 0.500" into the drum, 
and both the center hole and the stud holes enlarged slightly. If you are a 
real stickler for detail, even the two holes for the small flathead 
retaining screws may be accurately found by first mounting the finned drums 
after you get them back, then placing an old iron drum backwards against the 
finned one, using the wheel studs as locators, and carefully marking the 
hole locations with drill of the correct diameter, but only kissing the 
aluminum to make the mark for final drilling.

I suppose the machine shop could have done the small holes, too, but I 
didn't think of it until I got home. It's probably just as accurate the way 
I did it.

For awhile, TRF was selling modified Brembo drums. Maybe they still do, but 
I purchased mine new off the internet and had a machine shop do the rest for 
about $70. There were complaints of deep scratches caused by TRF's 
suppliers.

Thanks to all who responded to my finned drum question. Using the old iron
drum as a pattern for a machine shop is probably a good way to go....

Thanks, all.

Dave,

Not only do you need to open up the centre diameter, you'll also need to machine the recessed lip from the
240Z drums.  These foul the Triumph backing plate.  Sorry but I can't remember how much needs to be done but
any competent lathe operator will be able to do it in about an hour.  All the best,

I have these headers and love them, but it wasn't a slam dunk. The forward
header tube clearance with the big hex mounting nut required, instead, a hex
socket bolt (uses an allen wrench)  on cylinder 3. They had also had
re-welded a  section of SS tubing out from the flange. I hope it doesn't
affect flow, but who knows what's left on the inside in the way of crap at
the weld seam. I couldn't see that far into the tubing. I also had a machine
shop resurface all of the flanges true and planar with a milling machine.
The flanges have some flex and do conform upon tightening, but I was getting
leaks initially from what I thought was non-planarity.

I don't remember if I had to grind any flanges for clearance with my intake
manifold. If I did, it was minor.

Whatever you do, inspect carefully before any installation and return them
if you are unhappy with the quality. I didn't do that. They are too
expensive to have to do a lot of fiddling or put up with second rate
workmanship. You can ask Rimmer what their return policy is beforehand and
demand no reworked welds.

You could get the twin ss sports system with the full header for 705 +
shipping
if I've got the exchange right.

Tempting, but lots of projects.
Guess I could sub this out to a good muffler
shop.  Shipping cost?

Do these
systems (Falcon brand I think) fit right up out of the box?   Not every
shop
can bend stainless.

Thanks,  Bruce Simms

Tulsa, OK (I-244) and got busted for it.  Real car guy.  Prayers to  him and

Jason,

Where are you located? I have a rusty set of 72 rims. 3 with tires still 
mounted.

keep one and sell the other 3 to club members. After I did this last year

Hi,
I have a few pictures describing how I installed MX5 seats in the TR6 using
the original TR seat rails. www.triumphowners.com/776
This technique basically makes the bottom of the MX5 seat function like the
bottom of the TR seat using a couple pieces of angle iron, cut to fit, and
installed with the Mazda rails removed. The seats will pivot forward as the
original, but do not lock in the rear. There are also other kits available
that use the Mazda seat rails to attach to the floor. Hopefully someone can
post the info on those kits too.

Hi Guido,

I've got the whole process documented on my site
http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/MiataSeats1.htm

Make sure you get the early Miata seats as the older ones get too wide to 
fit without modifying the frame for the top. I made up my own brackets and 
then worked with Joe Alexander on his brackets.  In the seat installation 
section, you'll find a reference to brackets that A.R.E. (Joe Alexander) 
makes but these won't fit a right hand drive car using seats from a RHD MX5. 
Joe had a customer try and they had to modify the brackets to get it all to 
fit.

The other advantage to finding early MX5 seats is that they have a cut-out 
in the headrest for speakers.

Bob

Subject: [6pack] Hardtop, window and door - up-down?
Message-ID: <238778.96739.qm@web37507.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

I got my factory hardtop in 2005.  In '08 I had a 'Pro' painted (OK, but not
great) and put on all gaskets/bolts.  I went out to drive it.  The passenger
side was good.  The door glass goes up-down to the weatherseal. But the driver
side never goes up;  I get 1/2" from the top glass to the hardtop seal.

Now ('11) the hardtop is in and now both up-down glasses are 1/2".  Rain goes
in my interior!

I had a old archives e-mail with one of a two paragraph on how to fix the
up-down window.
(Also, the words "PITA" where there, too!)

I have a 2002 archives from Jim Davis with some of this, but his had a
disappointment with the windshield/hardtop.  My windshield/hardtop as not
binds.

I need the windows to go 1/2" so I can shut the window and the top seal.

(Also - Do I get new adhesive '3M' for the old (3 years) gaskets?

Thanks,

Randy's laminate dash's at Prestige Autowood are works of art (Picasso, not
Garfunkel).  He has laminates at a reasonable price ($350?) and hardwoods at
significantly less.  I have a Koa wood laminate dash for my TR250 which is
amazing.  I just bought a new dash for a GT6+ project that has a significantly
lower restoration budget.  The craftsmanship on the hardwood is equally
impressive, but the finishing is limited to stain only.  I can't comment on
the 
others, but know you can't go wrong with Prestige.

I purchased a Koa wood dash from Prestige about 4 years ago. It is
absolutely beautiful and perfect. I believe his standards of workmanship are
the highest in the industry. I have never seen a dash that I like more than
what Prestige produces.

We have used at least six of the Prestige hardwood dashes and have been very

I'll have to ditto Bob's comments, Mike. Prestige's laminate dash is 
excellent
in all respects. The glove box door matches grain to the dash and has a 
perfect
spacing around it. He's an artist, in every sense of the word...

I've had the Prestige Hawaiian Koa dash in my car for about 10 years now and 
it looks as good as the day I installed it. Every aspect of his work is 
outstanding...........get Randy on the phone and he'll talk your ear off 
too.

Mike,

I decided to get the dash for my 72 project from C&G. It is a laminate in burl 
elm. Looks real nice with the moto lita wood steering wheel. Fit was perfect.
The only reason I went with C&G was they are closer than Prestige. I am 
guessing the quality is about the same.

Satisfied customer for sure.

Thanks for the feedback, Bob (and everyone else who's commented).

I had gone to your website over the weekend, but I didn't see anything related
to your installing a new dash.  Is the Hawaiian Koa different from the
Fiddleback Koa?  I don't see names with the product examples on Randy's
webpage.  The only place I've seen pictures with names is from your posting
about his products back in 2008.

I've had the Prestige Hawaiian Koa dash in my car for about 10 years now and
it looks as good as the day I installed it. Every aspect of his work is
outstanding...........get Randy on the phone and he'll talk your ear off
too.

Subject: [6pack] Dashboards

I am looking to replace the tired dashboard in my 69 TR6.  I'm attracted to
the look of some aftermarket dashboards that might go well with my Moto-Lita
steering wheel.

I see Prestige, C&G Woodcraft and a gentleman in NC (Frank Lawson) who
produces these.   Are there others besides the big three worth having a
look?

I would value feedback from those of you who have gone this route ... who
did
you chose and have you been happy with your choice?   Also, what's your
general assessment on hardwood verses laminate?

Thanks.

Message-ID: <COL123-DS241733ABB3E82621A210BFF4D40@phx.gbl>

Richard---IF you could raise the door glass the 1/2 inch you say is needed, then you would have to be careful when closing the doors when using the soft top,  if  you  intend to use the soft top again.

I've seen some hardtops that do not have a great fit to the door glass. In my case, the SOFT top/glass had no gaps but the hardtop left too much room with the original(?) top seals. Some custom seals were used to get it right. Now I can run with either top and have a decent seal.  

Take another look to see if the other metal parts of the top fit the body as they should. It sounds like something needs to come down more.

Message-ID: <77042.3d093c33.3a908ab4@aol.com>

I finally gave up on the oil filter adapter on the GT6 and put the canister 
 back on.  It wasn't fun taking the adapter off or putting the canister 
back  on but it is done and the canister doesn't leak, at least right now.  
We'll  see what happens.
This is what happened with the TR6 when I first put on an adapter.   Tried 
one a few years later from a different vendor and manufacturer.  No  
problems with it now.  I bought the new adapter from a major supplier (the  one for 
the GT) but it just would not quit leaking.

Just stick with the original filter. My mechanic says they're better for many

I was trying to eliminate the drain back of oil when not running, but, I  
guess that I will just stick with the canister even though it is a PITA to  
change the filter.  I'll just make sure that I have a good filter.   The one 
I put in there was a VB brand (whatever that is) but in the future I  will 
stock up on some others.
When we bought the car I was sure that it was the same filter as the TR6,  s
ince it is the same configuration, but that turned out not to be the  case. 
 The TR6 filter is bigger in diameter and deeper.

Hi,

I'll just touch the topic of the bushes themselves in relation to the 
initial query.

Bushings are there to allow the suspension to articulate. There is some 
isolation of sound and motion, but not a lot. What the various materials 
allow is some "flex" at the joint.

But the point I wanted to make is that if you upgraded to another bushing 
material and the ride is a lot more harsh, I'd first verify that the 
suspension is able to fully articulate for the entire range with NO 
binding.

If the bushings are installed wrong, the suspension cannot fully 
articulate without extra effort and you will def. feel this in the seat of 
your pants.

I would next verify that the shocks are working properly. You can test 
this in the absence of the springs fairly easily. The effort to move the 
shock throughout the range shuld be smooth and even the entire range.

Next, I would verify that the sway bars are not binding. Check them be 
undoing the end links from the suspension and verify smooth operation for 
the entire range of motion.

Last - what are you running for springs? If you have really stiff springs, 
try running something a tad softer and see if that helps.

I've been quite surprised over the years over how little the bushing 
material matters in terms of road isolation. The material almost does not 
matter except to say that the poly and delrin busing deflect less under 
extreme loads and that they poly/delrin bushings seem to last longer than 
the rubber... when installed correctly.

Now, to your question about bushings. The relative hardness of the 
bushings can be read with a durometer. There are different scales 
depending on the material used. A quick web search found this reference:

http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=194360

There's a good chart there showing the overlap of the various durometer 
scales.

I hope this helps.

Hello Jason,

Could you by any chance be referring to my (former) website, The
Michelotti TR 
Website?  It no longer exists because Yahoo pulled the plug on
free hosting and 
I haven't had time to try and find another host.  However, I
think I still have 
most of my info stored somewhere if you were looking for
something in 
particular.

Raymond

Hi Guys, Would anyone out there happen to know if the 16 inch Spal High
performance Fan (over 2300 cfm) Will fit as a puller in my '70 6?  It is over
an inch thicker than the 1600 cfm ultra slim. I have also just ordered the Fan
Eliminator kit from Rick Patton. Thanks

Subject: [6pack] TR 7 Speaker Size
Message-ID: <8CDA11C34DAA66E-1D44-257AC@webmail-d049.sysops.aol.com>

Can anyone tell me what size speaker fits into the space under the grill in
the top center of the dash on a TR7?  The space under my grill is filled to
the rim with wires and connectors.  Is this normal?  Do you have to fit a low
profile speaker or will a normal sized speaker fit?

Thanks,

The key here is the width of the Spal fan. I've got the "stock" combo of the 
Wizard radiator and the low profile Spal fan which fits just fine. You need 
to check the specs of the Spal fan you have to see if it fits. It has 
nothing to do with Rick's kit.

Hello All,
 
I recently did a compression test on my 74 TR6 in advance of
sending my 
distributor off for a rebuild. The results came back :175, 190,
210, 220, 180, 
180. I have now heard this may be a problem. I used an
expensive Harbor Freight 
tester but assuming these are accurate does this
mean time for a rebuild or 
other issue?
 
Thanks in advance for any feedback

You have one data point.

DO a leakdown test and get another data point.

To be honest, 20 - 25 pounds diff sounds like a lot, but it's only about 
10% variation. No perfect, but not really, really bad.

Also, make sure that you used the exact same method on all 6 pots 
(wide-open throttle, turn the motor a min. of 4 turns on the starter)

Also, also, do the test "wet" and see if the number change.

regards,
rml

Robert---The compression test readings you show are very high, esp. for the '74 model which has a relatively low CR from the factory. If the head was milled quite a bit at some time in the past, then this would account for these readings. Ideally, compression readings shouldn't vary more than 10% among all cylinders, but engines can seem to run well when outside these parameters.  If a valve lash check wasn't performed before the compression test was done it would be good to do so, then a re-check of the compression.
A compression tester isn't normally an expensive tool.  A leakdown tester is quite a bit more. Both are good to have in one's toolbox.
None of this as anything to do with the distributor, of course.

Dick

My brother has this tag frame with a built in 3rd brake light. Here's one on
ebay. Auction # 190503261413

I also have a picture of his 73's rear that I can send directly to you if you
like.  This is not a real high solution, but it is noticable at night when he
hits the brakes and you get the triangle of 3 red lights. He runs red LEDs in
the stop-tail lamps too.

I recall a few years ago some guys were attaching a 16" Permacool fan
to the 
edge of a stock rad with sheet metal screws.

How are you doing the
thermostat hookup? From what I've heard the better 
location seems to be the
bottom of the rad or the coolant return pipe.

Let us know what you did.   A

I have done this with great success. I believe the instructions had me
install the thermostat in the upper hose at the point it enters the
radiator. This makes sense as it's a good measure of coolant temperature at
the exit point of the engine and before it cools down in the radiator
itself.

While trying to figure out how to mount a 16 inch Permacool fan to my  
TR6 radiator I discovered with just a bit of torque I could get it  
inside of the the side pieces of the radiator and flush to the fins.   
I put four of the the little cushion feet on the fan and "popped" the  
fan inside the side pieces and right next to the fins.  I realized it  
was such a good fit that I was done.  No screws, no fasteners through  
the fins or the radiator, or anything to hold it in place.  It wasn't  
going anywhere, especially with the crossmember about 1/8 of an inch  
away from the fan motor housing.  Have run it that way for about 3-4  
years with no problem.  Sitting right "on" the fins provides for a  
very efficient pull of air through the radiator and optimal cooling.   
Makes for a nice clean installation and provides a mystery for anyone  
looking closely at it wondering how it's attached to the  
radiator...its not.  Could be a serendipidous occurance just for my  
radiator but it might work for others.  Oh and my sensor is near upper  
hose as others have suggested.

I have the Automatic Stripped down and I'm having a difficult time

Rimmer doesn't have anything much on their website.
Does anyone out there  have a source for these parts. The usual

Are there any Stag Mail Lists I could post a message on?

It should be a Borg warner 35.  If you are in the US I would think you could
source parts using a 1975 Volvo 240 as the reference vehicle.

I have an MGC in the shop right now with the same transmission.
