From richardolindsay at gmail.com Sat Feb 1 12:24:35 2020 From: richardolindsay at gmail.com (Richard Lindsay) Date: Sat, 1 Feb 2020 13:24:35 -0600 Subject: [6pack] Quiet here... Message-ID: Hello Friends, At the risk of alienating some members, this is a post about restoring my TR6. It also contains a few asides. My shingles pain is a bit more manageable today and outside, its a 'yummy sunny day', to quote Winnie-the-Pooh. So I decided to go to the shop. Good decision. Upon arrival I took a moment and asked myself, "What to do?" Answer: Spend some time working on the TR6. But before that work began, I removed the packaging and installed the new floor mats in the Nissan pickup. I even drilled a hole in the driver side mat and attached it to the built-in retainer. Doing so reduced the likelihood of unintended 'Italian-cruise-control'. Over on the TR6 I decided to install the new fiberboard ducting between the grill and the radiator. Its held in place by five screws. The outermost two of these screws also secure brackets between the front grill assembly and the inner wheel-wells. Now installed, the whole front 'clip' is quite stiff and vibration free. I spent a bit more time in the engine room cleaning away dust and any lasting remnants of the earlier water pump leak. I then started the engine, admired the vibration free smoothness of the beautifully balanced, three plane L6 engine, and marveled at the amazing Ansa exhaust note. I used up a little more time admiring the machine. I searched for fuel, coolant, and oil leaks but found none. I then shut the engine down and returned my attention to the upholstery. I first trimmed and cemented the upholstery to the left-hand inner wheel arch. I weighted the upholstery material down with a sledge hammer thereby keeping the material tight as the cement cured. I next moved to the other side where the wheel arch upholstery was already installed. I placed the upholstery panel in place and guaranteed that it fit properly. It can't go in until the parcel shelf carpet is in but trial fitting the panel was fun. I next installed the rubber seal for the rear of the bonnet. It looks great but now the bonnet will no longer latch! I had adjusted the latch without the molding in place. I now have to readjust the latch and corner bumpers. Using the last few minutes that I had before heading home, I decided to do something frivolous. I pulled the first of the bullet racing mirrors from the box and admired its flawless chrome finish. I took it to the car and immediately noticed that the mirror's mounting holes didn't match the holes in the door. The mirror uses bolts from within the door and up into the mirror base. All parts needed came with the mirror but the holes in the door are for sheetmetal screws. However, there is a solution. I held the mirror in the ideal viewing position and verified that the old mounting holes were invisible when covered by the new mirror's base gasket! I next placed the gasket on the door and marked drill holes. Fortunately I could align the base with one of the old holes. Using that as my positioning guide, I marked the second hole location. Drill time! I gauged then loaded a 1/4" drill bit in my cordless drill. In position, I eased the drill's trigger 'on' and began cutting metal. Not 20 seconds later the bit slowed then stopped. Dead battery. I installed the spare battery. Also dead. So I packed up both batteries and brought them home to charge. When the first one is charged I will take both batteries AND the charger back to the shop! I hope to install two mirrors tomorrow! Also tomorrow, the upholstery cement should be cured and the wheel arch will be finished. If so, I will install the parcel shelf carpet leaving the rear of the cockpit ready for the left, right and rear upholstery panels. Those panels will close the rear cockpit and finish that area! That's my morning. Back home with lunch in my 'tummy', although not from the honey jar, I am reading and writing while I wait for the next dose of gabapentin to help manage the nerve pain.

On my car (original owner), the bar had a slight curve to it over the length of the bar. When I got new visors way back (like at least 15 years ago), I pulled the bars out to transfer to the new visors and upon examination thought - "crud, somehow, I bent the bar" and proceeded to straighten it. Carefully. That sucker was arrow-straight by the time I was done re-forming it. I installed it in the car. Well, then the new visor just hung there in the down position and more or less just flopped around. I tried crimping the metal tube that's inside the visor with very limited success. Eventually, I put two and two together and realized the error in my ways - that I had straightened the metal bar and thus there was no tension to keep the visor from flapping / flopping. Just as a warning - when I tried to crimp the metal tube, I would up making tooth marks from the pliers in the visor. Normally, I go for function over form, but for some reason those marks made me a little crazy. Well, crazier than normal. In any case, if you try to crimp do so with the caution that you might make noticeable marks in the visor. You've been warned. To be honest, I'm really glad these became visors available again and I am grateful that TRF made the effort to make them available. 'Nuff sed. So, try to see if your old visor bars had that little hook in them and see if you can transfer that dimension to the new parts.

My internal foam was so gone, I could 'feel' the inner bar went down into the foam in a T shape. The outer bar can be removed. It apparently pushes into the inner bar in a male/female sort of configuration, and this is where the tension occurs. (no pun intended) I had attempted to reuse my original visors by filling them with "Great Stuff" expanding foam sealer. This actually worked pretty well, although not quite as pretty as I'd hoped. I'm honestly thinking about using them as is. My brother has had issues with the new design visors. The passenger one rattles badly, and now it's inner bar has been pushed all the way in. We haven't taken it down to attempt to retrieve it. All the above is why I was skeptical of the new design. I do agree, they're better than nothing. It's too bad TRF doesn't ship them with the outer rod pre-bent. I think I'm just going to return them. thanks all, Sloane ________________________________ From: Robert Lang Sent: Monday, February 3, 2020 11:13 AM To: 6pack at autox.team.net <6pack at autox.team.net>; im sloane Subject: Re: [6pack] These new sun visors suck Hi - If you have one or more original sun visors that you can "donate" to research, pull out the bar and examine it closely.

Also while the paint drys I will disassemble the headrest and clean the chrome shaft that fits down onto the seat back. Both the foam and upholstery kits include materials to rebuild the headrests. After the passenger seat is also disassembled down to the frame I will sand, paint and lubricate the pivots on that frame too. The paint on the driver's side frame should then be dry, even in this cold air, by the time I finish disassembly and prep on the second seat. Assembly on the first seat can then begin. I'll take lots of pictures, of course. Assembly begins with attaching the straps across the seat back. They have metal wires at each end that simply poke into holes in the frame. Material stretch has caused the straps to be a bit looser than when new but not so much so as to cause the foam to fit poorly. Rather, the ends of the straps may be a bit loose in the frame, at least until the upholstery is on. So to make sure everything stays connected, I will place a length of duct tape along each side after the straps are installed. The seat bottom diaphragms go in next. I bought new diaphragms and they came with new attachment hooks. Attaching the last of the hooks may be a bit of a challenge since the rubber diaphragm is stretched taught when properly installed. Still, that should be no real problem. (Famous last words!) With all the support bits in place, the foam can be fitted. It just sits in place, later to be held in place by the upholstery. The center sections of the seat bottom and seat back are cemented to the foam. This step guarantees a smooth fit across those panels, and keeps the upholstery from moving laterally when climbing in and out of the car. I'll write more and include photographs as the reassembly progresses. I could second guess the procedure but that's already written up in the provided assembly notes. The more interesting details (Yea right!) will be in the steps and mistakes made as the process evolves. Until then, au revoir.

Message-ID: <00d401d5ea93$2a5715a0$7f0540e0$@uprichard.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Today hit 50F in Michigan and so I took the TR5 out for an inaugural drive. I started off timidly, since the engine had just been rebuilt and I always worry I may have done something wrong.? But after 10 or so miles caution was thrown to the wind and I let those 6 fuel-injected cylinders do their thing. And they did - just amazing! I am a huge fan of the 4-cylinder Triumphs (I have five of them, after all), but this was sheer hedonism. And, of course, the thumbs up of the people who obviously thought I was totally mad in a convertible in 50 degrees and the kids with their noses pressed against the windows.. Apart from my beautiful wife and maybe Irish whiskey, driving these cars must be one of life's greatest pleasures.

It is fully symmetrical with a multi-plane crank.? Best of both worlds. Enjoy.
