Hi Everyone,

As many of you already know, as a side project for the past 3 years I have
been working on a piece of software with a colleague called DashWare.
DashWare allows you to analyze video and data together, as well as overlay
gauges on top of video. Until recently ChaseCam was our exclusive
distributor, and they handled all of our sales and marketing. Our software
always worked with a variety of data loggers and cameras, but most of our
sales were to ChaseCam customers. In an attempt to widen our appeal, in
addition to selling through ChaseCam, we are also selling DashWare
independantly of ChaseCam at www.DashWare.net. We are still working with
ChaseCam, and in fact their new DIVA system uses DashWare for all the
analysis. If you are in the market for a camera and logger I would
definitely recommend the DIVA.

If you already have a camera and a logger, or are thinking of buying either,
check out DashWare. DashWare works with almost every data logger on the
market, as well as many cameras including ChaseCam, GoPro, ContourHD,
ContourGPS and others. One feature that we really like is our compatibility
with multiple loggers, as this increases the likelihood of comparing your
data to someone else's.  There is more information and a free trial
available at www.DashWare.net.

I know commercial posts are controversial on the FOT mailing list, but since
our product was built with racing in mind, I thought it was appropriate. I
myself like seeing what products other triumph racers are offering, but I
understand people do not like to be bombarded with ads. If you have any
questions you can ping me directly or visit the website at www.DashWare.net.

Thanks,
Mark

Mark,

I use the traqmate and have two cameras, one being the go-pro and the other a

polaroid HD. I have been looking for a used Chase Cam set up to replace

one or both. In the past, with the traqmate it's a real PIA trying to sync the
data

with the video with anything other than the Chase cam as the chase cam and

traqmate auto sync. As things are now I need to get the camera running

before I belt up and start the data logger just before I roll out for the pace
lap.

Can you describe the proceedure for syncronizing the video to the data?



Jim G.

Book is GREAT ! Got it yesterday already (in the middle of Europe).
First great presentation : it is a "real" book with traditional binding, no
spiral, of big size, excellent quality pix printing.
Great content and pix !
Informative, fun, thrilling, just everything !
We all want to go racing, but now there is snow everywhere here!
Did not open the DVD, despite temptation, as otherwise I will be useless in
the firm for 2 more days.
And as a bonus for me, I know can put faces on all these great chaps we get
advice and input from: Kas of course, Bill B, Greg S, Mordy D, Jeff
Schlemmer, Joe A, Chuck, Tony D, Chris M, and much missed Uncle Jack.
We all look fwd to the 5th book !
Thank you so much Kas (and Peggy, and al of course)
Cheers!
Alex

Yes. The port spacing is different. I don't recall where the cutoff was
though.

I got mine five days ago and it's been my breakfast reading material every

the new format, it looks a lot like a Carrol Smith book and it's easier to
handle than the comb-bound books, plus the large size makes the photos far
better.

I've ordered two. If you don't have at least one and you own or race a Triumph
then I just don't know what you' could be thinking--thousands of dollars of
knowledge and entertainment for less than fifty bucks. Worth every nickel.

For federal emmisions spec TR6, the TR250 and TR6 CC25000 through roughly 
CC75000 all had the "narrow port" heads and the intake manifold that tries 
to force air to turn at right angles.

:-)

But figure that the US got the good heads starting with the '72 model 
year.

There's actually a lot of minor nuances through the model years with the 
'72 getting the best of all the various parts.

I believe I've seen that photo before, but hydrazine wasn't mentioned then.
The block, heads and blower were broken into multiple small bits and
scattered around the landscape.  Probably partially vaporized and burned as
well.

I have a friend who is a long time drag racer. From what he's told me 
the NHRA banned nitro back in the mid-60's requiring the use of 
gasoline. Some racers dosed their gas with hydrazine (illegal). The 
stuff was highly unstable when mixed with gas so they would add it at 
the last minute and then make sure they ran the tank dry before 
shutdown. One time a driver shut down before all the fuel was gone after 
a run. Several minute later, after being pulled back into the pits, the 
residual hydrazine laced fuel in the combustion chambers lit off, 
blowing the heads off the engine. Another time, when the dragsters were 
in the staging lanes just before their turn to run, there was a delay 
when another car oiled down the track. The crew chiefs could be seen 
pulling off the fuel tanks from the rails and dumping the contents in 
the dirt along side the track. Hydrazine used to give a green tinge to 
the exhaust flame, thus the saying "If it's burnin' green he's runnin' 
hydrazine."

Cheers,
Kurt O.

Yeah what ever. More like someone was peeking ;)

Anyhow the book looks to be healthy, but had been promptly taken away

Subject: [Fot] Triumph GT6 Transmission conversion to TR6?
Message-ID: <A00C2865-C827-4A95-8D43-DFF5B1CB2244@comcast.net>

Having just munched the third transmission in about two years, I'm  
ready to upgrade to something beefier, but would like to keep it in  
the Triumph family, and need a vintage compliant 4 speed (no 5 speeds  
need apply!).

I'm thinking about a TR6 box, and have started the thought process by  
lining up a TR4 box that I have next to the GT6 box - bell housing  
shape is identical, except that the TR4 box places the starter about  
1/2" higher.  Shifter falls in the same place, though a shorter drive  
shaft and a modified rear mount will be needed as the overall  
transmission is about 4" longer.

The 4's input shaft is a larger diameter - is the TR6 box different in  
that respect from the TR4, given that the TR6 and GT6 engines are  
stroked/de-stroked versions of each other?

If anyone has done this swap, what other clutch, flywheel and  
hydraulics changes have you made? Can you use a TR6 engine plate or  
does one need to be made up?   Lastly, does anyone have a TR6 box they  
want to get rid of?

Thanks!

Scott,

I know very little about the compatibility between models but I do no  
this:

My TR3 uses a TR6 gearbox with a CR gearset utilizing a 1" 10-spline  
shaft that accepts a stock GT6 Clutch and pressure plate.

Hi all-

One of my sons is building a 6-cyl Spitfire as a winter project. He already
has the Spitfire and a donor GT6 Mk 3 and is a more-than-capable mechanic.

This will be his second 6-cyl Spit but the first was a quick and dirty project
built over 20 years ago.

Any helpful suggestions? Pitfalls to avoid? Sources? He will undoubtedly go
for power mods.

No need to bore the whole list with this project so please contact me at
mlcooknj at msn.com

Thanks!!

Does he have any plans to set the engine back further in the chassis to
maintain the weight balance?  With the swing-axles, I'm not sure I'd
want to drive one with the GT6 (or TR6) motor in the stock location.

A friend of mine has created a Spit-6 racer which he runs in one of
Midwestern Council's unrestricted categories.  He moved the engine back
approximately 4 inches, so that the stock engine mounts attach to a new
mounting tab welded to the "spring tower".

The little bugger really goes!

Message-ID: <8CD611BAF3703DD-1298-4951@webmail-m037.sysops.aol.com>

 I would like to thank FOTs Bill Redinger and Mike Cook for the extensive
coverage of the Kastner Cup event in Topeka.  Truly outstanding writing and
photography.

Not all FOT are current or past racers, but most are uniquely qualified to
make a significant contribution to our LIST MEMBERS.

THANKS also to Blake Discher, President of VTR, for his collaboration and
support. The last two Kastner Cup posters were produced by Blake courtesy of
the VTR and printed by an ISOA member.

Blake and I have a vision to draw the VTR and the FOT together, at least in an
informal way. Several FOT are already deeply involved with the Vintaqe Triumph
Register. Since we have no formal organization, I would recommend that you
attach yourself to the VTR as members, especially since they are so supportive
of our efforts.

I would expect to see a very strong presence of the VTR at Laguna Seca....HMSA
insurance allows 1,000 attendees at our Kastner Cup event.....expect this
event to be about our Triumphs....we will be the stars.

BTW, Christian Marx' engineering efforts made the COVER of the last TVT
magazine, along with a four page article on the installation of Chris' new
Viton seal by ISOA members, Bob Streepy and Steve Yott.

Joining VTR is an easy thing to do......and our Mike Cook puts out a great
magazine.

This is great news, as this is that FOT Badge is the only thing I got for 
my wife for Christmas this year, and she'd sure be distressed if there was 
nothing under the tree for her.

She's tough to buy for any more.  She's already got the lawn mower, two 
rakes and a snow shovel I bought her previously.

Boy are you in luck. Kas Kaster's new book has a step-by-step build of Chuck
Gee's GT-6 racer. I've read the whole thing carefully because the approach
applies to any vintage racecar. But it's a literal step-by-step recipe with
loads of pictures of exactly how to build a great GT6 in deep detail. 100
pages.

Scott, check with John at Quantum Mechanics
http://www.quantumechanics.com/ .  He has a stash of new TR7/TR8 gear sets
and corresponding hardware that he puts in a Spitfire case. The shafts are
machined down to match you application, early spit/ late spit/ GT6 and
takes much more abuse. I've had one in my racing Spitfire for a few years
and the breaks occur downstream now. You still have a 4 speed, Triumph,
transmission and besides the reliability you get close ratio and full
syncros as a bonus.  The only other thing I'd do to this box is reinforce
the tail piece, still a weak spot.


Having just munched the third transmission in about two years, I'm
ready to upgrade to something beefier, but would like to keep it in
the Triumph family, and need a vintage compliant 4 speed (no 5 speeds
need apply!).

This is great news, as this is that FOT Badge is the only thing I got for
my wife for Christmas this year, and she'd sure be distressed if there was
nothing under the tree for her.

She's tough to buy for any more.  She's already got the lawn mower, two
rakes and a snow shovel I bought her previously.

Ha. Sadly I've met my xmas budget limit for 2010.

Mrs Rousseau ordered me a brand new SA 2010 race helmet as my big present.

Frankly I can't wait for the day when I can take her to a track day
for a spin in the race car ;)
Doubtful she'll get the same enjoyment as I did when Bill took me out
for the reenactment at the Glen, but worth a try.

Still it's been a big year for the Rousseau family so I can hardly complaint.

We upgraded from our town house to a beautiful single family home on a
large lot with a double car garage.
Not a small undertaking for any family, but I still managed to get my
race program off the ground with 2 weekends. A huge bonus.

I'm sure all you racer/car types out there can relate.

I look forward to xmas day when I can sit back and flip though Kas's book.

Cheers.

A.

Message-ID: <AANLkTi=wYumsVBqV=ej-OERiKkJKd433z378CD7MWVRC@mail.gmail.com>

the use of a TR box is common here in australia, however the biggest issue
is the crappy ratios unless you buy the close ratio kit and substantial
extra weight

most original CR kits are from the dolomite sprint era and these have a
common 10 x 1" spline, smaller than TR. clutches are no problem. some
vendors now supply different input shafts

the TR engine plate is required

my race gt6 uses a much modified TR7 4 speed

I wrote this for another list, but there are possibly a few of you who
here who might want some advance warning of possible Team.Net
downtime.  I don't want to be the cause of even more hoilday panic!

If you might be wondering about the FOT list and how long it has been
a part of Team.Net, we have a birthday coming up.  Check out

http://www.team.net/mharc/archives/html/fot/1996-12/index.html


Anyway, here's the message:


Yes, there are still some spam messages from hijacked email accounts
getting through now and then.  I've been working on the issue a bit,
but it is turning out to be a case of 'shipwright's disease' as we
know it, applied to computers.  If you don't know what I am talking
about, check out

http://www.team.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32


Basically to tighten up security and improve a few things I'm planning
on updating the operating system and all the user level programs that
Team.Net uses.  Not a small undertaking, but well within my abilities.
Currently there is no budget for hardware upgrades, perhaps after the
spring fund drive.  Of course, if you haven't yet spent all your loot
on holiday gifts and such and wanted to donate [ link below ] I would
not complain ;-)

The process will take a fair bit of time over who knows how many late
nights at the keyboard.  With luck it will all be unnoticed by you
folks, transparent to the user, as they say.  But there is always a
chance of service not being available for some period of time,
hopefully no more than minutes at a time.  It could be something
simple, like a stupid typo in a config file, or it could be one of the
cats jumping the the keyboard as I go to fetch some more refrehments
and somehow managing to hit the CONFIRM REFORMAT OF ALL DISKS button.

 I remember what it was like when the ISP I was using for the DSL line
went belly up and Team.Net was off the air for 8 days - not a good
thing.  Actually, I wonder what the up vs. down time percentages might
be over the last 19 years and 7 months of Team.Net.  I won't count the
years before that when I ran it from the U of U.

Anyway, short story is if Team.Net disappears at times over the
next few weeks, don't panic, I'll be working on it.

This TR5 was entered in the 1969 Targa Florio  by Demetriou Racing for Alan
Smith and Nick Faure. The car was standard apart from stiffened suspension and
racing tyres and Nick qualified it in a very respectable 44mins, which was
over 3 minutes quicker than the only other car in the class, a Ferrari 275
GTB. Unfortunately due, I believe, to electrical problems the car crashed out
of the race on lap 3.
Nick Faure was a very accomplished driver who mainly raced Porsches including
arcing at Le Mans on a number of occasions.

The old formula gas tank sealers are not impervious to ethanol.  I recently
worked on a Model T Ford that had sealer applied some time ago, and it turned
into a green goo and completely clogged the entire fuel system.  This
necessitated replacing the tank (it was leaking anyway, probably why it was
sealed initially) making a new fuel line from the tank in the trunk to the
carb, and completely disassembling the carb and thoroughly cleaning it out.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but better than putting it in service
and having to do what I had to.

You can add two-stroke oil to the fuel, that will help to protect the tank
walls.
Mixture 1:100

Betreff: Re: [Fot] Gas Tank Sealer ?

The old formula gas tank sealers are not impervious to ethanol.  I recently
worked on a Model T Ford that had sealer applied some time ago, and it
turned
into a green goo and completely clogged the entire fuel system.  This
necessitated replacing the tank (it was leaking anyway, probably why it was
sealed initially) making a new fuel line from the tank in the trunk to the
carb, and completely disassembling the carb and thoroughly cleaning it out.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but better than putting it in service
and having to do what I had to.

 Hello All,

I have a question concerning my ignition - it's a Mallory Dual Point
distributor with mechanical advance and a Crane FireBall Hi-Output Coil PS92
(?).  All are in good condition and set according to my engine tune with fresh
plugs.  When testing for a misfire, pulling one plug wire at a time, I found
the following condition :  if I pull the plug wire for number 1 or number 4
cylinders there is a very noticeable change in the engine's idle.  If I pull
the plug wire for number 2 or number 3 cylinder there is little to no change
in the engine's idle.  There is a spark there but not as big the spark at
number 1 and 4.

Serious diagnosis will be most appreciated, or at least a direction of where
to start looking.

 Terrific!

John Nikas and I counting 60 +  potential entries.   We will gain some more
and lose a few, but it appears to be likely the most heavily entered Kastner
Cup event in it's 9th year of the series.

There is a west coast committee working on various components of the event to
ensure it's success. Furthermore, we should be the focal point of the event.

I suspect we will get a progress report from the west coast, shortly.

I suspect that you're looking for a single master cylinder with dual circuits.

However if you're looking for a dual master cylinder arrangement, 
here are pictures of my setup:

 So ... to answer those questions asked, I recently just completed a
compression check and a leak-down test.  all checked out good and numbers are
comparable to the last check in 2009.  Like I mentioned, the plugs are new but
I will check and test the plug wires.  And, for those that queried I test for
spark/misfire by removing the plug wire at the cap one at a time.

Engine is 1500 plus .030" over and milled .100".  Carb is a single 45dcoe13
Weber.

Thanks for the questions,
Bob T.

I have the same setup, or did. After running a session I found the point
gaps were off due to the wearing down of the wafer riding on the cam.
Couldn't keep it timed. I removed the points plate and installed a
Pertronics Ignitor and have eliminated all problems. Timing stays where you
put it.

 So ... to answer those questions asked, I recently just completed a
compression check and a leak-down test.  all checked out good and numbers
are
comparable to the last check in 2009.  Like I mentioned, the plugs are new
but
I will check and test the plug wires.  And, for those that queried I test
for
spark/misfire by removing the plug wire at the cap one at a time.

Engine is 1500 plus .030" over and milled .100".  Carb is a single 45dcoe13
Weber.

Thanks for the questions,
Bob T.

 Hello All,



I have a question concerning my ignition - it's a Mallory Dual Point

distributor with mechanical advance and a Crane FireBall Hi-Output Coil PS92

(?).  All are in good condition and set according to my engine tune with
fresh

plugs.  When testing for a misfire, pulling one plug wire at a time, I found

the following condition :  if I pull the plug wire for number 1 or number 4

cylinders there is a very noticeable change in the engine's idle.  If I pull

the plug wire for number 2 or number 3 cylinder there is little to no change

in the engine's idle.  There is a spark there but not as big the spark at

number 1 and 4.



Serious diagnosis will be most appreciated, or at least a direction of where

to start looking.





Spitfire looking for power,

Bob T.

Ho ho ho

I just finished at the post office after being there for 45 minutes. Can you
guess what I was doing?

Delivery is expected by Christmas to the members in US and Canada. I am not
too sure about Europe and Australia.  I can hope.

Have a safe and grand Christmas.

Morning listers, my question is: during the off season, what is the censes on
whether to leave the block full of water or drain it and leave dry, or do
folks drain and fill with an antifreeze mix ? freezing is not an issue in my
case. Secondly, my daughter scored a red tr6 hot wheels which i had not been
able to find but also found a blue one with orange stripes, had not seen the
later one ever mentioned on the list. I want to take this time to wish
everyone a merry christmas ( in my case) or happy holidays to
whomever...........Thanks, Mark P. #65 TR4

DRAIN!

And leave dry (Which is what I did with the racer) or fill with pre mix
stuff.

But it tends stay well below freezing here for a while.

The thing is...If you drain the block they almost never dry out. Moisture with
oxygen equals r-u-s-t.....Anti freeze mixture is what I use in all my cars.

I drain mine and fill it with 50/50 antifreeze.  The times that I drained it
and left it "dry" it developed a lot of corrosion in the coolant passages.
You can not easily get it completely dry and if you store it in a cold

I found 2 red TR6 Hot Wheels at Big Lots a couple of weeks ago for $0.99 each.
St Nicholas day was December 7th, so they made a nice little gift for my son.

Morning listers, my question is: during the off season, what is the censes on
whether to leave the block full of water or drain it and leave dry, or do
folks drain and fill with an antifreeze mix ? freezing is not an issue in my
case. Secondly, my daughter scored a red tr6 hot wheels which i had not been
able to find but also found a blue one with orange stripes, had not seen the
later one ever mentioned on the list. I want to take this time to wish
everyone a merry christmas ( in my case) or happy holidays to
whomever...........Thanks, Mark P. #65 TR4

Ho ho ho

I just finished at the post office after being there for 45 minutes. Can you
guess what I was doing?

Delivery is expected by Christmas to the members in US and Canada. I am not
too sure about Europe and Australia.  I can hope.

Have a safe and grand Christmas.

Bob, I bought one last month. It looks OK but I won't be able to test it
under load until the spring, engine apart, snow on the ground. It bolted in
my existing frame with out any mods. One thing I don't like about it, and
some of my previous stock Triumph radiators, is the lack of a drain plug. I
need to pull the hose to drain it for removal. The hose is coming off
anyway but it's just not as clean that way.

selling
for $150 ?  If they work why use the ones selling for $400."

Message-ID: <3868259E92D2489399E195A3A1903EAF@Bucktailus>

Does anyone have interest in a good looking enclosed goose neck car hauler?
In Northwest Ohio one is on the market.  I spotted this trailer and called the
owner to get the details.  It is a Southwest Express,  40 foot length. It is a
2001 model.  It was used as a sprint car hauler.  Aluminum floor, many tie
downs,  9 foot ceiling, and brakes on all three axles.   It is red in color
and appears to be in great shape.  He is asking $17,000,. I bet he would take
$15,000. If anyone is interested, I would be glad to crawl inside and under
checking it out.  Right now I would have to shovel my way under, unless he has
it inside?  His phone number is 419-721-1778.  Any of you Midwesterners that
are considering on hauling to Laguna Seca, here is your chance to get set up.

Chris...

My badge arrived yesterday, and it is awesome.  I expected it to be nice 
(based on your descriptions), but it exceeded my expectations.

Like I said, it's going under the Christmas tree for wife, Shirley Jean, 
but it's so nice, it'll have to count for her birthday too.  

Thank you for your efforts.

When I lived near Monterey, my TR3 had a Monterey British motors license 
frame in back and a 1960 Del Monte Forest entrance badge on the side of 
the grille.  Now that I'm in Arizona, the new FOT badge will replace the 
Del Monte Forest badge on the side of grille.  I figure one badge up 
front is plenty.
> I have so many badges and dish plaque from over the years
I'm guilty of throwing away my event plaques and judging placement 
plates, plaques, ribbons & such during my last two moves.  I never could 
find an attractive way to display them when I would prefer to display my 
photography instead.  And it seemed like the only time I opened the box 
they were in was when I was moving.  About the only things I've kept as 
been event posters, Monterey historics programmes, and a couple club 
grille badges which are in a box that only gets seen when I move.

FOT BADGE QUESTION:

Is the brass just polished or is it polished AND clear coated??  If it 
has not been clear coated I'm thinking of clear coating mine prior to 
mounting & exposing it to the elements.

The badges have a brass base the rest is GOLD plated, front and back.

Got mine yesterday as well. Everyone is right, they are great.
I may have to
work up a different mounting for the late Spit, though.
Myabe I should have
ordered one for the Stag as well. But since
I can't drive both at the same
time (and the Stag hasn't moved
for 7 years) I can just swap them back and
forth. ;)

FOT-

We have negotiated a discounted room rate for FOT at the Embassy  
Suites Hotel for the 2011 Kastner Cup. The Embassy Suites is the  
official hotel of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (http:// 
www.mazdaraceway.com) and offers close access to both the track and to  
the many attractions of the Monterey Bay area.

A block of rooms has been reserved for FOT members at the rate of  
$155.00/night (plus tax). Rooms are 2-room suites and include daily  
complimentary breakfast and Manager's cocktail reception. For  
additional information, terms and conditions, and to make a  
reservation please visit:

http://embassysuites.hilton.com/en/es/groups/personalized/M/MRYESES-FOT-20110605/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG
Group Name:	Friends of Triumph
Group Code:	FOT
Check-in:	05-JUN-2011
Check-out:	09-JUN-2011
Hotel Name:	Embassy Suites Monterey Bay - Seaside
Hotel Address:	1441 Canyon Del Rey
  	Seaside, California
  	93955
Phone Number:	831-393-1115

The Embassy Suites management has shown real excitement at the idea of  
hosting our fine group! With a satisfactory number of reservations,  
they have offered to set-up exclusive receptions and to provide  
dedicated parking lot  facilities for us. I encourage you to make your  
reservation as early as possible. Monterey, California is a well known  
resort area so there are many options for accommodations at various  
price levels. A partial listing can be seen at: http://www.mazdaraceway.com/pages/hotels

For those interested in camping sites/RV hook-ups, these are reserved  
through Monterey County Parks (888-588-2267) in campsites located just  
outside of the Raceway, however, reservations will not be taken until  
late January. We are also trying to get information on overnighting at  
the track which is restricted. Please stay tuned for more information  
to follow.

Happy Holidays,
John Frymark (K-Cup '11 Organizing Committee)

You guys (and gals) are *killing* me!  Mine hasn't arrived yet and 
already I'm thinking about a second one.  Trouble is, I only have one

Since I have been asked I will say this:


I have a VERY LIMITED supply of leftovers.  15 badges to be exact!   
If you want one here are the detals....

Price is still $30 each. That includes shipping.

Payment is either PayPal (SeaCubeCo at aol.com) or mail (Chris Bock,  
3630 Italia Ave, Vineland, NJ 08361)

Before you send a check or use paypal let me know that you are  
interested and how many you want.  I will get back to you and then  
send payment.

I don't want to have someone pay and then have no more badges.


ok now.....

Start the emails coming saying that you want the badges.


If I get over 40 more badge requests I can do another run.

Got my badge today!  Absolutely awesome and exactly worthy of this
august
disorganization.  Thanx immensely for all your work getting them  done
and
shipped.  An amazing effort not to be underestimated.

That said, I can't put this treasure on the racer!  Firstly the weight
is
worth a half second a lap but more importantly, I can't risk some errant

Porsche damaging such a thing of beauty.  I'll make it into a neck charm
or
maybe a tattoo.  Or maybe carry it in my pocket a lot.

Thanx again for the work, they turned out beautiful....Steve

Message-ID: <7E8ED10C-34C2-414E-9303-26764621E650@aol.com>

Amici,

Since there was a very good demand for the second chance of the extra  
badges I have, I am going to have a second batch made.

So...................

If you want one let me know by DECEMBER 30!   I will start the ball  
rolling and get it done.  Shipping out to you fellow Friends of  
Triumph members will be around Mid-February.

Price hasn't changed, still $30, shipping included.


Payment is either PayPal (SeaCubeCo at aol.com) or mail (Chris Bock,  
3630 Italia Ave, Vineland, NJ 08361).

Just make sure an address that you want the badges shipped to is  
included.

Hey membership,

Got a set of almost new Carillo rods for a 1300 Spitfire ( I think they
are the same for 1147 and 1500 too). Anyway my engine builder wants to
use Pauter rods so my loss is your gain. 500.00 gets them.

Very good rods but NOT the same as 1500 (FM engine prefix) or the FK prefix
1300 which was the large crank 1296 used in the Mk4. If they fit the 1147
Spit in the Mk1&2 those engines have a prefix of FC; the small crank 1296
(desirable for racing) has an engine prefix of FE or FD. 
Hope that helps avoid confusion.

TRS Lemans cars. Sorry this is not an original body or car, just a rendition!

And of course the ugly, like going to the store to get a few more
items for dinner and coming back to find some unknown dimwit
ran into your fence.  What fun.  It is cold, dark and rainy, I'll look
at it tomorrow, it may not be too difficult to fix.

The Good - Totally unexpected to me I found an FOT grill badge
in my PO Box.  Now I see why folks have been praising it.  It is
very nice.  It is so nice to get tokens of appreciation for the work
I put into Team.Net.

The Bad - One FOT person who does not appreciate the way I've handled
things is Rob, the one who sent out the message about the Weber carbs.
He is well within his rights to drag me to the town square and throw
me in the stocks.  We made an agreement back in August about this
purchase.  The crash I had with the CRV should have delayed the
shipment no more than a week or two while my leg healed.  As he
said, it is now 4 months.  I have no valid reason for such a delay, but
can offer all sorts of lame excuses.  Sad to say this is not the first
time such pointless procrastination on my part has been involved in
parts dealings with FOT folks.  I'd like to swear it will never happen
again, but habit is a powerful force to overcome.  And when it comes to
habits I have plenty of bad ones.  So it goes.

The carbs will be on their way soon.  I need to replace the internal return
spring on one, should not be a problem.  They are a problem if they break
while on the car, as Tony Drews found out at Hallet a few years back.  Glad
I was able to assist with that problem.

Enough personal blatherings, back to Triumph racing.

Really you should just take them out. They are dangerous and they always

They can jam the return up, overcoming external springs. Been there, done
that. I toss them and use good long springs that are far less likely to break.

I hope you someone can give me some help with my car. My name is Eric and I
live about 45 minutes north of houston on 59 in a small town called
shepherd. I bought a 1972 gt6 a while back and have slowely been working on
it. Ive encountered some oddities while ordering parts like the points i
ordered are nothing like what are on the car now. the carbs are held about
an inch higher than hood clearance forcing me to put a hood bulge on the car
to accommodate the extraheight...they are also 175cds instead of the 150
that are supposed to be on the car. I was doing some investigating on my own
about engine numbers and such and it appears that I actually have a 2.5L
TR250 motor in the car instead of the 2L gt6 motor. that would explain the
larger carbs and the extra height and the distributor difference. I would
really just appreciate any info that a Triumph enthusiast could give me.
Also, I am sending a pic of the distributor. its got an odd dual vacume
setup which ive never seen before. Have you ever seen a distributor like
this? Is it factory equipment for a TR250? Im including stamped numbers
includong the cars VIN. Any help at all is very much appreciated.

Amici-

Apparently, I screwed it up on my first attempt, so here goes the second try.
I would like to nominate Silvio DeBartolomeis to the list. He's a TR3A owner
who is active in the Rocky Mountain Triumph Club & is getting ready to attempt
the restoration of a '56 TR3.  He's certifiably insane, so he should fit right
in with the rest of us!  E-mail is silvio at koelbelco.com.

Seconds?

I have had an internal spring break and the motor would not drop below 5K 
rpm.
So Bill you have removed the internal spring on each webber and are  using 
only external springs. Are you using just one on the peddle lever or have 
you rigged  a spring  for each carb.

I have also had another issue of high revs in ideal position after a 40 sec. 
auto X run. Could I have worn throttle shafts that will not allow the 
throttle plate to seat properly. I can bring the rmp down by pulling back on 
the linkage I don't have the issue after a 30  min. road course run 
thanks   rob

I have a spring for each carb arm and one for the main shaft--three in all.
That way if a carb lever gets loose the carb will close rather than wander
open.

Perhaps everyone knows this, but JIC; note that the 240Z drums will not fit
on a TR4 without additional machining.  The stud holes are the right PCD,
but diameter is too small.  Plus the lip of the drum will interfere with the
backing plate unless a substantial portion of one or the other is cut away.

I believe that you have to do alittle grinding to make them fit right but
they work good, in one of Jack Drews articles he gives you all the needed
demensions, I have done this and it is cheaper depending on what your time
is worth.

II just fit a set of these last year luckily managed to get a set or 
originals from a friends 240z.
I had to open up the center pilot hole on a lathe to match the TR6 hub 
with a little clearance.
The inner part of the drum labyrinth needs to be cut down to clear the 
backing plate.
I did that on a jury rigged brake lathe but I'm sure it can be done on 
most lathes.
I've seen new 240Z finned aluminum drums in Brembo Boxes so I'm sure 
they are still available.

Amici Thank you for the info about Datsun brake drums for our TRs.
But these drums are all 9'' ?
I have a TR3 with 10'' drums and I am looking for Alfins, in the period
style (I think these Alfins were circumferentially finned, not transversely
as the Datsun's, but has anyone info on that?).
Merry Christmas !
Thank you for you inputs!
Cheers
Alex

These can sometimes be crossed to a double lip seal as well.

Amici,

We have a bunch of spare engine blocks laying around the shop and I'm
wondering what is the best way to store them.  I normally set them on
a block of wood but I'm wondering if setting them on concrete might
not be better.

Any other suggestions?

A more festive way to store them would be to paint them bright colors and hang
them from the ceiling. Okay that may not be an option but I would store them
off the ground on a rack to help keep them dry.

Hi

Bear in mind that concrete is porous and sweats in humid conditions, wood tends to absorb moisture.

My advice for storing metal bits mechanical and pieces is to coat in light oil (spray duck oil etc.), wrap in cling film and store so that air can circulate around ..... Works for me in steel containers, so should work anywhere. Avoid a garage where your other half has a tumble drier - these are the work of the devil. I'd rather wear wet pants ....

The goal is prevent hydration. Cosmolene comes to mind.  If you want an oil based product that is amazing.. Try Ballistol spray.  I use it for storing firearms. Simply amazing.

Brad:

I have to agree with Tony.  Whether it be car parts or complete cars, concrete
sweats and accelerates rust.  Climate controlled storage would be the first
choice but expensive.  For most people wood should be the first choice with
packed dirt your second choice (under roof of course).  If you're going to
store on concrete for an extended period (like you have) I put cheap plywood
down to absorb the moisture.

Tommy might rent you some storage space cheap. :-)

Enjoy,

Ernie

Amici,

We have a bunch of spare engine blocks laying around the shop and I'm
wondering what is the best way to store them.  I normally set them on
a block of wood but I'm wondering if setting them on concrete might
not be better.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Brad

I've got several cans of cosmolene, I think I'll just spray them down
and stack them on end using 2x4s keeping the top and bottom surfaces
off the concrete.

I'll have to look into the Ballistol spray next time I need to order
something like that.

Thanks for all the replies,

Brad

Susan seemed to think the bright colors idea had some merit.
Fortunately it's to cold right now to paint anything so if I hurry and
get them stashed before before the cold spell ends I should be ok :)

If the bores are honed or clean or worthy of keeping as they  are....put 
Marvel Mystery Oil in them(use a thoroughly soaked rag or your hand  and sop 
them good...also the top block surface)....

Hi Mark,
Yes it has been a very good read. Well done Kas.
I have been particularly interested in Chuck Gees Gt6 story, as I am hoping to
have my rebuild of Jack Woerle's old GT6 ready in the spring and it appears we
are on the same track with some of the fit-up. Chuck if you are on the list I
would be very interested if you have any race or track testing results for
your girl?
Merry Christmas to all
Bill Bartlett

I had no idea that Ballistol is used outside of Germany.
I use Ballistol for conservations of a lot of metal things, leather of my
cars seats and so on.
It is different than WD40.

Cheers
Chris

And Merry x-mas

The goal is prevent hydration. Cosmolene comes to mind.  If you want an oil
based product that is amazing.. Try Ballistol spray.  I use it for storing
firearms. Simply amazing.

Hi Walt,

I had CarboTech make up some racing pads for
me.  These calipers were used by lots of Nissan
racers, and there are (or were) several options
out there if you contact some of the brake
experts like Carbotech or Porterfield.

Good luck,
John

I use Carbotech AX6 compound pads with my Toyota calipers.  Work 
great, no fade, easy on the rotors, no melted chunks of brake 
material embedded in the clearcoat on the wheels.

Walt,
You can do what I did and go to your local auto parts store and ask to look
at their Dorman catalog.  You might have to convert to metric sizes in order
to find a good match but that is nothing to worry about.

Walt,

I'm using ARP P/N 100-7708 "12mm x 1.50 Late Model GM/Corvette".  These 
will press into TR6 hubs
without re-drilling the holes and are 3" long.  They are metric so you 
have to use the appropriate metric lugnuts.

I switched from the Carbotech AX6 to their AX10 compound (front only) and  
after 2 weekends I like them.  Supposedly they give better grip when you  
want it at the cost of higher rotor wear.  Since I'm usually pretty easy  
on the brakes I think it's a good tradeoff for when I really really want  
to stop.  Don

there are heaps of metric studs that will press in but i have never found a
direct/correct replacment for the taper seat ones that or found on the rear
of TR6. I beleive the ARP ones suggested are flat baked and are wrong for
the rear . if someone has found the correct taper seat stud, please let us
all know

I was checking out Auto Trader Triumphs this morning and I found this TR4
racecar for sale at F40 Motorsports, home of Chasing classic Cars on HDNET.

"Price collusion alert" We should all agree to raise the value of our racecars
up close to what Wayne Carini thinks they are worth. After all, he's on TV and
an expert. If your TR4 is for sale and in nice shape raise the price to 40K
immediately :) Surely you can get more than you think!

"Price collusion alert" We should all agree to raise the value of our racecars
up close to what Wayne Carini thinks they are worth. After all, he's on TV and

Hi Everyone,

As many of you already know, as a side project for the past 3 years I have
been working on a piece of software with a colleague called DashWare.
DashWare allows you to analyze video and data together, as well as overlay
gauges on top of video. Until recently ChaseCam was our exclusive
distributor, and they handled all of our sales and marketing. Our software
always worked with a variety of data loggers and cameras, but most of our
sales were to ChaseCam customers. In an attempt to widen our appeal, in
addition to selling through ChaseCam, we are also selling DashWare
independantly of ChaseCam at www.DashWare.net. We are still working with
ChaseCam, and in fact their new DIVA system uses DashWare for all the
analysis. If you are in the market for a camera and logger I would
definitely recommend the DIVA.

If you already have a camera and a logger, or are thinking of buying either,
check out DashWare. DashWare works with almost every data logger on the
market, as well as many cameras including ChaseCam, GoPro, ContourHD,
ContourGPS and others. One feature that we really like is our compatibility
with multiple loggers, as this increases the likelihood of comparing your
data to someone else's.  There is more information and a free trial
available at www.DashWare.net.

I know commercial posts are controversial on the FOT mailing list, but since
our product was built with racing in mind, I thought it was appropriate. I
myself like seeing what products other triumph racers are offering, but I
understand people do not like to be bombarded with ads. If you have any
questions you can ping me directly or visit the website at www.DashWare.net.

Thanks,
Mark

Mark,

I use the traqmate and have two cameras, one being the go-pro and the other a

polaroid HD. I have been looking for a used Chase Cam set up to replace

one or both. In the past, with the traqmate it's a real PIA trying to sync the
data

with the video with anything other than the Chase cam as the chase cam and

traqmate auto sync. As things are now I need to get the camera running

before I belt up and start the data logger just before I roll out for the pace
lap.

Can you describe the proceedure for syncronizing the video to the data?



Jim G.

Book is GREAT ! Got it yesterday already (in the middle of Europe).
First great presentation : it is a "real" book with traditional binding, no
spiral, of big size, excellent quality pix printing.
Great content and pix !
Informative, fun, thrilling, just everything !
We all want to go racing, but now there is snow everywhere here!
Did not open the DVD, despite temptation, as otherwise I will be useless in
the firm for 2 more days.
And as a bonus for me, I know can put faces on all these great chaps we get
advice and input from: Kas of course, Bill B, Greg S, Mordy D, Jeff
Schlemmer, Joe A, Chuck, Tony D, Chris M, and much missed Uncle Jack.
We all look fwd to the 5th book !
Thank you so much Kas (and Peggy, and al of course)
Cheers!
Alex

Yes. The port spacing is different. I don't recall where the cutoff was
though.

I got mine five days ago and it's been my breakfast reading material every
morning since. What a great job, Kas. Fascinating and useful as always. Love
the new format, it looks a lot like a Carrol Smith book and it's easier to
handle than the comb-bound books, plus the large size makes the photos far
better.

I've ordered two. If you don't have at least one and you own or race a Triumph
then I just don't know what you' could be thinking--thousands of dollars of
knowledge and entertainment for less than fifty bucks. Worth every nickel.

For federal emmisions spec TR6, the TR250 and TR6 CC25000 through roughly 
CC75000 all had the "narrow port" heads and the intake manifold that tries 
to force air to turn at right angles.

:-)

But figure that the US got the good heads starting with the '72 model 
year.

There's actually a lot of minor nuances through the model years with the 
'72 getting the best of all the various parts.

I believe I've seen that photo before, but hydrazine wasn't mentioned then.
The block, heads and blower were broken into multiple small bits and
scattered around the landscape.  Probably partially vaporized and burned as
well.

I have a friend who is a long time drag racer. From what he's told me 
the NHRA banned nitro back in the mid-60's requiring the use of 
gasoline. Some racers dosed their gas with hydrazine (illegal). The 
stuff was highly unstable when mixed with gas so they would add it at 
the last minute and then make sure they ran the tank dry before 
shutdown. One time a driver shut down before all the fuel was gone after 
a run. Several minute later, after being pulled back into the pits, the 
residual hydrazine laced fuel in the combustion chambers lit off, 
blowing the heads off the engine. Another time, when the dragsters were 
in the staging lanes just before their turn to run, there was a delay 
when another car oiled down the track. The crew chiefs could be seen 
pulling off the fuel tanks from the rails and dumping the contents in 
the dirt along side the track. Hydrazine used to give a green tinge to 
the exhaust flame, thus the saying "If it's burnin' green he's runnin' 
hydrazine."

Cheers,
Kurt O.

Canada Post had it in a plastic bag saying it got damaged in the stream...

Yeah what ever. More like someone was peeking ;)

Anyhow the book looks to be healthy, but had been promptly taken away

Subject: [Fot] Triumph GT6 Transmission conversion to TR6?
Message-ID: <A00C2865-C827-4A95-8D43-DFF5B1CB2244@comcast.net>

Having just munched the third transmission in about two years, I'm  
ready to upgrade to something beefier, but would like to keep it in  
the Triumph family, and need a vintage compliant 4 speed (no 5 speeds  
need apply!).

I'm thinking about a TR6 box, and have started the thought process by  
lining up a TR4 box that I have next to the GT6 box - bell housing  
shape is identical, except that the TR4 box places the starter about  
1/2" higher.  Shifter falls in the same place, though a shorter drive  
shaft and a modified rear mount will be needed as the overall  
transmission is about 4" longer.

The 4's input shaft is a larger diameter - is the TR6 box different in  
that respect from the TR4, given that the TR6 and GT6 engines are  
stroked/de-stroked versions of each other?

If anyone has done this swap, what other clutch, flywheel and  
hydraulics changes have you made? Can you use a TR6 engine plate or  
does one need to be made up?   Lastly, does anyone have a TR6 box they  
want to get rid of?

Thanks!

Scott,

I know very little about the compatibility between models but I do no  
this:

My TR3 uses a TR6 gearbox with a CR gearset utilizing a 1" 10-spline  
shaft that accepts a stock GT6 Clutch and pressure plate.

I'm thinking about a TR6 box, and have started the thought process by
lining up a TR4 box that I have next to the GT6 box - bell housing
shape is identical, except that the TR4 box places the starter about
1/2" higher.  Shifter falls in the same place, though a shorter drive
shaft and a modified rear mount will be needed as the overall
transmission is about 4" longer.

The 4's input shaft is a larger diameter - is the TR6 box different in
that respect from the TR4, given that the TR6 and GT6 engines are
stroked/de-stroked versions of each other?

If anyone has done this swap, what other clutch, flywheel and
hydraulics changes have you made? Can you use a TR6 engine plate or
does one need to be made up?   Lastly, does anyone have a TR6 box they
want to get rid of?

Thanks!

Hi all-

One of my sons is building a 6-cyl Spitfire as a winter project. He already
has the Spitfire and a donor GT6 Mk 3 and is a more-than-capable mechanic.

This will be his second 6-cyl Spit but the first was a quick and dirty project
built over 20 years ago.

Any helpful suggestions? Pitfalls to avoid? Sources? He will undoubtedly go
for power mods.

No need to bore the whole list with this project so please contact me at
mlcooknj at msn.com

Thanks!!

Mike Cook

Does he have any plans to set the engine back further in the chassis to
maintain the weight balance?  With the swing-axles, I'm not sure I'd
want to drive one with the GT6 (or TR6) motor in the stock location.

A friend of mine has created a Spit-6 racer which he runs in one of
Midwestern Council's unrestricted categories.  He moved the engine back
approximately 4 inches, so that the stock engine mounts attach to a new
mounting tab welded to the "spring tower".

The little bugger really goes!

Message-ID: <8CD611BAF3703DD-1298-4951@webmail-m037.sysops.aol.com>

 I would like to thank FOTs Bill Redinger and Mike Cook for the extensive
coverage of the Kastner Cup event in Topeka.  Truly outstanding writing and
photography.

Not all FOT are current or past racers, but most are uniquely qualified to
make a significant contribution to our LIST MEMBERS.

THANKS also to Blake Discher, President of VTR, for his collaboration and
support. The last two Kastner Cup posters were produced by Blake courtesy of
the VTR and printed by an ISOA member.

Blake and I have a vision to draw the VTR and the FOT together, at least in an
informal way. Several FOT are already deeply involved with the Vintaqe Triumph
Register. Since we have no formal organization, I would recommend that you
attach yourself to the VTR as members, especially since they are so supportive
of our efforts.

I would expect to see a very strong presence of the VTR at Laguna Seca....HMSA
insurance allows 1,000 attendees at our Kastner Cup event.....expect this
event to be about our Triumphs....we will be the stars.

BTW, Christian Marx' engineering efforts made the COVER of the last TVT
magazine, along with a four page article on the installation of Chris' new
Viton seal by ISOA members, Bob Streepy and Steve Yott.

Joining VTR is an easy thing to do......and our Mike Cook puts out a great
magazine.

This is great news, as this is that FOT Badge is the only thing I got for 
my wife for Christmas this year, and she'd sure be distressed if there was 
nothing under the tree for her.

She's tough to buy for any more.  She's already got the lawn mower, two

Boy are you in luck. Kas Kaster's new book has a step-by-step build of Chuck
Gee's GT-6 racer. I've read the whole thing carefully because the approach
applies to any vintage racecar. But it's a literal step-by-step recipe with
loads of pictures of exactly how to build a great GT6 in deep detail. 100
pages.

Scott, check with John at Quantum Mechanics
http://www.quantumechanics.com/ .  He has a stash of new TR7/TR8 gear sets
and corresponding hardware that he puts in a Spitfire case. The shafts are
machined down to match you application, early spit/ late spit/ GT6 and
takes much more abuse. I've had one in my racing Spitfire for a few years
and the breaks occur downstream now. You still have a 4 speed, Triumph,
transmission and besides the reliability you get close ratio and full
syncros as a bonus.  The only other thing I'd do to this box is reinforce
the tail piece, still a weak spot.


Having just munched the third transmission in about two years, I'm
ready to upgrade to something beefier, but would like to keep it in
the Triumph family, and need a vintage compliant 4 speed (no 5 speeds
need apply!).

Ha. Sadly I've met my xmas budget limit for 2010.

Mrs Rousseau ordered me a brand new SA 2010 race helmet as my big present.

Frankly I can't wait for the day when I can take her to a track day
for a spin in the race car ;)
Doubtful she'll get the same enjoyment as I did when Bill took me out
for the reenactment at the Glen, but worth a try.

Still it's been a big year for the Rousseau family so I can hardly complaint.

We upgraded from our town house to a beautiful single family home on a
large lot with a double car garage.
Not a small undertaking for any family, but I still managed to get my
race program off the ground with 2 weekends. A huge bonus.

I'm sure all you racer/car types out there can relate.

I look forward to xmas day when I can sit back and flip though Kas's book.

Cheers.

A.

Message-ID: <AANLkTi=wYumsVBqV=ej-OERiKkJKd433z378CD7MWVRC@mail.gmail.com>

the use of a TR box is common here in australia, however the biggest issue
is the crappy ratios unless you buy the close ratio kit and substantial
extra weight

most original CR kits are from the dolomite sprint era and these have a
common 10 x 1" spline, smaller than TR. clutches are no problem. some
vendors now supply different input shafts

the TR engine plate is required

my race gt6 uses a much modified TR7 4 speed

You could always get her a bucket and wash mit so she can take care of the
cars.  Just a thought.

This is great news, as this is that FOT Badge is the only thing I got for 
my wife for Christmas this year, and she'd sure be distressed if there was 
nothing under the tree for her.

She's tough to buy for any more.  She's already got the lawn mower, two 
rakes and a snow shovel I bought her previously.

If he has email I suggest he go to http://www.team.net/mailman/listinfo
and subscribe to the Spitfire list, perhaps even the regular Triumph
list.  There are several folks in those venues who have done this.

I wrote this for another list, but there are possibly a few of you who
here who might want some advance warning of possible Team.Net
downtime.  I don't want to be the cause of even more hoilday panic!

If you might be wondering about the FOT list and how long it has been
a part of Team.Net, we have a birthday coming up.  Check out

http://www.team.net/mharc/archives/html/fot/1996-12/index.html


Anyway, here's the message:


Yes, there are still some spam messages from hijacked email accounts
getting through now and then.  I've been working on the issue a bit,
but it is turning out to be a case of 'shipwright's disease' as we
know it, applied to computers.  If you don't know what I am talking
about, check out

http://www.team.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32


Basically to tighten up security and improve a few things I'm planning
on updating the operating system and all the user level programs that
Team.Net uses.  Not a small undertaking, but well within my abilities.
Currently there is no budget for hardware upgrades, perhaps after the
spring fund drive.  Of course, if you haven't yet spent all your loot
on holiday gifts and such and wanted to donate [ link below ] I would
not complain ;-)

The process will take a fair bit of time over who knows how many late
nights at the keyboard.  With luck it will all be unnoticed by you
folks, transparent to the user, as they say.  But there is always a
chance of service not being available for some period of time,
hopefully no more than minutes at a time.  It could be something
simple, like a stupid typo in a config file, or it could be one of the
cats jumping the the keyboard as I go to fetch some more refrehments
and somehow managing to hit the CONFIRM REFORMAT OF ALL DISKS button.

 I remember what it was like when the ISP I was using for the DSL line
went belly up and Team.Net was off the air for 8 days - not a good
thing.  Actually, I wonder what the up vs. down time percentages might
be over the last 19 years and 7 months of Team.Net.  I won't count the
years before that when I ran it from the U of U.

Anyway, short story is if Team.Net disappears at times over the
next few weeks, don't panic, I'll be working on it.

This TR5 was entered in the 1969 Targa Florio  by Demetriou Racing for Alan
Smith and Nick Faure. The car was standard apart from stiffened suspension and
racing tyres and Nick qualified it in a very respectable 44mins, which was
over 3 minutes quicker than the only other car in the class, a Ferrari 275
GTB. Unfortunately due, I believe, to electrical problems the car crashed out
of the race on lap 3.
Nick Faure was a very accomplished driver who mainly raced Porsches including
arcing at Le Mans on a number of occasions.

Back in 1997 (13 years ago) I had an AL gas tank sealed at a body shop with
whatever was the trick sealer at the time.  With the increased use of blended
fuels today (and growing) I am curious what those with knowledge of this

service but I am hopefull it will in the next year or so.

The old formula gas tank sealers are not impervious to ethanol.  I recently
worked on a Model T Ford that had sealer applied some time ago, and it turned
into a green goo and completely clogged the entire fuel system.  This
necessitated replacing the tank (it was leaking anyway, probably why it was
sealed initially) making a new fuel line from the tank in the trunk to the
carb, and completely disassembling the carb and thoroughly cleaning it out.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but better than putting it in service
and having to do what I had to.

You can add two-stroke oil to the fuel, that will help to protect the tank
walls.

 Hello All,

I have a question concerning my ignition - it's a Mallory Dual Point
distributor with mechanical advance and a Crane FireBall Hi-Output Coil PS92
(?).  All are in good condition and set according to my engine tune with fresh
plugs.  When testing for a misfire, pulling one plug wire at a time, I found
the following condition :  if I pull the plug wire for number 1 or number 4
cylinders there is a very noticeable change in the engine's idle.  If I pull
the plug wire for number 2 or number 3 cylinder there is little to no change
in the engine's idle.  There is a spark there but not as big the spark at
number 1 and 4.

Serious diagnosis will be most appreciated, or at least a direction of where
to start looking.


Spitfire looking for power,

Does anyone have a suggestion for a tandem master brake cylinder that
will work in a TR4A?

 Terrific!

John Nikas and I counting 60 +  potential entries.   We will gain some more
and lose a few, but it appears to be likely the most heavily entered Kastner
Cup event in it's 9th year of the series.

There is a west coast committee working on various components of the event to
ensure it's success. Furthermore, we should be the focal point of the event.

I suspect we will get a progress report from the west coast, shortly.

I responded privately, but thought I'd throw it out publicly too -

I'm planning to attend. B Not sure about the race before the race,

though. B Would prefer a race AFTER the big Triumph event to have the

best chance of a still running car at Seca.

I suspect that you're looking for a single master cylinder with dual circuits.

However if you're looking for a dual master cylinder arrangement, 
here are pictures of my setup:

 So ... to answer those questions asked, I recently just completed a
compression check and a leak-down test.  all checked out good and numbers are
comparable to the last check in 2009.  Like I mentioned, the plugs are new but
I will check and test the plug wires.  And, for those that queried I test for
spark/misfire by removing the plug wire at the cap one at a time.

Engine is 1500 plus .030" over and milled .100".  Carb is a single 45dcoe13
Weber.

Thanks for the questions,
Bob T.

 Hello All,



I have a question concerning my ignition - it's a Mallory Dual Point

distributor with mechanical advance and a Crane FireBall Hi-Output Coil PS92

(?).  All are in good condition and set according to my engine tune with
fresh

plugs.  When testing for a misfire, pulling one plug wire at a time, I found

the following condition :  if I pull the plug wire for number 1 or number 4

cylinders there is a very noticeable change in the engine's idle.  If I pull

the plug wire for number 2 or number 3 cylinder there is little to no change

in the engine's idle.  There is a spark there but not as big the spark at

number 1 and 4.



Serious diagnosis will be most appreciated, or at least a direction of where

to start looking.





Spitfire looking for power,

Bob T.

 Hello Spit racers,

Anyone hear from someone using the aluminum 2 row radiators on ebay selling
for $150 ?  If they work why use the ones selling for $400.

Curious,

I have the same setup, or did. After running a session I found the point
gaps were off due to the wearing down of the wafer riding on the cam.
Couldn't keep it timed. I removed the points plate and installed a
Pertronics Ignitor and have eliminated all problems. Timing stays where you
put it.

I just finished at the post office after being there for 45 minutes. Can you

Delivery is expected by Christmas to the members in US and Canada. I am not

Have a safe and grand Christmas.

whether to leave the block full of water or drain it and leave dry, or do
folks drain and fill with an antifreeze mix ? freezing is not an issue in my

DRAIN!

And leave dry (Which is what I did with the racer) or fill with pre mix
stuff.

But it tends stay well below freezing here for a while.

The thing is...If you drain the block they almost never dry out. Moisture with
oxygen equals r-u-s-t.....Anti freeze mixture is what I use in all my cars.

I drain mine and fill it with 50/50 antifreeze.  The times that I drained it
and left it "dry" it developed a lot of corrosion in the coolant passages.
You can not easily get it completely dry and if you store it in a cold
environment it will develop condensation.

I found 2 red TR6 Hot Wheels at Big Lots a couple of weeks ago for $0.99 each.
St Nicholas day was December 7th, so they made a nice little gift for my son.

Morning listers, my question is: during the off season, what is the censes on
whether to leave the block full of water or drain it and leave dry, or do
folks drain and fill with an antifreeze mix ? freezing is not an issue in my
case. Secondly, my daughter scored a red tr6 hot wheels which i had not been

I just finished at the post office after being there for 45 minutes. Can you

Delivery is expected by Christmas to the members in US and Canada. I am not

Have a safe and grand Christmas.

Bob, I bought one last month. It looks OK but I won't be able to test it
under load until the spring, engine apart, snow on the ground. It bolted in
my existing frame with out any mods. One thing I don't like about it, and
some of my previous stock Triumph radiators, is the lack of a drain plug. I
need to pull the hose to drain it for removal. The hose is coming off
anyway but it's just not as clean that way.

selling
for $150 ?  If they work why use the ones selling for $400."

Got my badge today!  Absolutely awesome and exactly worthy of this  august 
disorganization.  Thanx immensely for all your work getting them  done and 
shipped.  An amazing effort not to be underestimated.
 
That said, I can't put this treasure on the racer!  Firstly the weight  is 
worth a half second a lap but more importantly, I can't risk some errant  
Porsche damaging such a thing of beauty.  I'll make it into a neck charm or  
maybe a tattoo.  Or maybe carry it in my pocket a lot.
 
Thanx again for the work, they turned out beautiful....Steve

Got my badge yesterday.  WOW!

I may have to repaint my TR3 just so the badge won't make it look so 
shabby in comparison.

I just finished at the post office after being there for 45 minutes. Can

Delivery is expected by Christmas to the members in US and Canada. I am not
too sure about Europe and Australia.  I can hope.

Have a safe and grand Christmas.

Subject: [Fot] Car hauler trailer
Message-ID: <3868259E92D2489399E195A3A1903EAF@Bucktailus>

Does anyone have interest in a good looking enclosed goose neck car hauler?
In Northwest Ohio one is on the market.  I spotted this trailer and called the
owner to get the details.  It is a Southwest Express,  40 foot length. It is a
2001 model.  It was used as a sprint car hauler.  Aluminum floor, many tie
downs,  9 foot ceiling, and brakes on all three axles.   It is red in color
and appears to be in great shape.  He is asking $17,000,. I bet he would take
$15,000. If anyone is interested, I would be glad to crawl inside and under
checking it out.  Right now I would have to shovel my way under, unless he has
it inside?  His phone number is 419-721-1778.  Any of you Midwesterners that
are considering on hauling to Laguna Seca, here is your chance to get set up.

Chris...

My badge arrived yesterday, and it is awesome.  I expected it to be nice 
(based on your descriptions), but it exceeded my expectations.

Like I said, it's going under the Christmas tree for wife, Shirley Jean, 
but it's so nice, it'll have to count for her birthday too.  

Thank you for your efforts.

When I lived near Monterey, my TR3 had a Monterey British motors license 
frame in back and a 1960 Del Monte Forest entrance badge on the side of 
the grille.  Now that I'm in Arizona, the new FOT badge will replace the 
Del Monte Forest badge on the side of grille.  I figure one badge up 
front is plenty.
> I have so many badges and dish plaque from over the years
I'm guilty of throwing away my event plaques and judging placement 
plates, plaques, ribbons & such during my last two moves.  I never could 
find an attractive way to display them when I would prefer to display my 
photography instead.  And it seemed like the only time I opened the box 
they were in was when I was moving.  About the only things I've kept as 
been event posters, Monterey historics programmes, and a couple club 
grille badges which are in a box that only gets seen when I move.

FOT BADGE QUESTION:

Is the brass just polished or is it polished AND clear coated??  If it 
has not been clear coated I'm thinking of clear coating mine prior to 
mounting & exposing it to the elements.

The badges have a brass base the rest is GOLD plated, front and back.

I think putting a coating on isn't needed

Got mine yesterday as well. Everyone is right, they are great.
I may have to
work up a different mounting for the late Spit, though.
Myabe I should have
ordered one for the Stag as well. But since
I can't drive both at the same
time (and the Stag hasn't moved
for 7 years) I can just swap them back and
forth. ;)

FOT-

We have negotiated a discounted room rate for FOT at the Embassy  
Suites Hotel for the 2011 Kastner Cup. The Embassy Suites is the  
official hotel of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (http:// 
www.mazdaraceway.com) and offers close access to both the track and to  
the many attractions of the Monterey Bay area.

A block of rooms has been reserved for FOT members at the rate of  
$155.00/night (plus tax). Rooms are 2-room suites and include daily  
complimentary breakfast and Manager's cocktail reception. For  
additional information, terms and conditions, and to make a  
reservation please visit:

http://embassysuites.hilton.com/en/es/groups/personalized/M/MRYESES-FOT-20110605/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG
Group Name:	Friends of Triumph
Group Code:	FOT
Check-in:	05-JUN-2011
Check-out:	09-JUN-2011
Hotel Name:	Embassy Suites Monterey Bay - Seaside
Hotel Address:	1441 Canyon Del Rey
  	Seaside, California
  	93955
Phone Number:	831-393-1115

The Embassy Suites management has shown real excitement at the idea of  
hosting our fine group! With a satisfactory number of reservations,  
they have offered to set-up exclusive receptions and to provide  
dedicated parking lot  facilities for us. I encourage you to make your  
reservation as early as possible. Monterey, California is a well known  
resort area so there are many options for accommodations at various  
price levels. A partial listing can be seen at: http://www.mazdaraceway.com/pages/hotels

For those interested in camping sites/RV hook-ups, these are reserved  
through Monterey County Parks (888-588-2267) in campsites located just  
outside of the Raceway, however, reservations will not be taken until  
late January. We are also trying to get information on overnighting at  
the track which is restricted. Please stay tuned for more information  
to follow.

Happy Holidays,
John Frymark (K-Cup '11 Organizing Committee)

You guys (and gals) are *killing* me!  Mine hasn't arrived yet and 
already I'm thinking about a second one.  Trouble is, I only have one 
TR.  Ah ha!  "Sweetheart, since we have 2 awesome FOT badges, we need 
another car."  Yeah, that'll work, I'm on it.

Message-ID: <B42D698B-6C45-494C-9C94-E46B2CACDCC3@aol.com>

Since I have been asked I will say this:


I have a VERY LIMITED supply of leftovers.  15 badges to be exact!   
If you want one here are the detals....

Price is still $30 each. That includes shipping.

Payment is either PayPal (SeaCubeCo at aol.com) or mail (Chris Bock,  
3630 Italia Ave, Vineland, NJ 08361)

Before you send a check or use paypal let me know that you are  
interested and how many you want.  I will get back to you and then  
send payment.

I don't want to have someone pay and then have no more badges.


ok now.....

Start the emails coming saying that you want the badges.


If I get over 40 more badge requests I can do another run.

Got my badge today!  Absolutely awesome and exactly worthy of this
august
disorganization.  Thanx immensely for all your work getting them  done
and
shipped.  An amazing effort not to be underestimated.

That said, I can't put this treasure on the racer!  Firstly the weight
is
worth a half second a lap but more importantly, I can't risk some errant

Porsche damaging such a thing of beauty.  I'll make it into a neck charm
or
maybe a tattoo.  Or maybe carry it in my pocket a lot.

Thanx again for the work, they turned out beautiful....Steve

Message-ID: <7E8ED10C-34C2-414E-9303-26764621E650@aol.com>

Amici,

Since there was a very good demand for the second chance of the extra  
badges I have, I am going to have a second batch made.

So...................

If you want one let me know by DECEMBER 30!   I will start the ball  
rolling and get it done.  Shipping out to you fellow Friends of  
Triumph members will be around Mid-February.

Price hasn't changed, still $30, shipping included.


Payment is either PayPal (SeaCubeCo at aol.com) or mail (Chris Bock,  
3630 Italia Ave, Vineland, NJ 08361).

Just make sure an address that you want the badges shipped to is  
included.


You have read the emails about how people love them.  Now its your  
time to get one!


thanks

Chris

Hey membership,

Got a set of almost new Carillo rods for a 1300 Spitfire ( I think they
are the same for 1147 and 1500 too). Anyway my engine builder wants to
use Pauter rods so my loss is your gain. 500.00 gets them.

Very good rods but NOT the same as 1500 (FM engine prefix) or the FK prefix
1300 which was the large crank 1296 used in the Mk4. If they fit the 1147
Spit in the Mk1&2 those engines have a prefix of FC; the small crank 1296
(desirable for racing) has an engine prefix of FE or FD. 
Hope that helps avoid confusion.

does anyone on this list have a modified rear supension involving a
conversion  to coil-over shocks and upper wishbones. Our race GT6 was done
many years ago. I'd like to swap notes as its undergoing restoration and now
is the time to make minor changes to improve it

And of course the ugly, like going to the store to get a few more
items for dinner and coming back to find some unknown dimwit
ran into your fence.  What fun.  It is cold, dark and rainy, I'll look
at it tomorrow, it may not be too difficult to fix.

The Good - Totally unexpected to me I found an FOT grill badge
in my PO Box.  Now I see why folks have been praising it.  It is
very nice.  It is so nice to get tokens of appreciation for the work
I put into Team.Net.

The Bad - One FOT person who does not appreciate the way I've handled
things is Rob, the one who sent out the message about the Weber carbs.
He is well within his rights to drag me to the town square and throw
me in the stocks.  We made an agreement back in August about this
purchase.  The crash I had with the CRV should have delayed the
shipment no more than a week or two while my leg healed.  As he
said, it is now 4 months.  I have no valid reason for such a delay, but
can offer all sorts of lame excuses.  Sad to say this is not the first
time such pointless procrastination on my part has been involved in
parts dealings with FOT folks.  I'd like to swear it will never happen
again, but habit is a powerful force to overcome.  And when it comes to
habits I have plenty of bad ones.  So it goes.

The carbs will be on their way soon.  I need to replace the internal return
spring on one, should not be a problem.  They are a problem if they break
while on the car, as Tony Drews found out at Hallet a few years back.  Glad
I was able to assist with that problem.

Enough personal blatherings, back to Triumph racing.

Really you should just take them out. They are dangerous and they always
break--it's just a matter of when

They can jam the return up, overcoming external springs. Been there, done
that. I toss them and use good long springs that are far less likely to break.

Also got a set of Carrillo's for a 1300cc and two sets of twin SU's that

Subject: What engine do I have?

 

I hope you someone can give me some help with my car. My name is Eric and I
live about 45 minutes north of houston on 59 in a small town called
shepherd. I bought a 1972 gt6 a while back and have slowely been working on
it. Ive encountered some oddities while ordering parts like the points i
ordered are nothing like what are on the car now. the carbs are held about
an inch higher than hood clearance forcing me to put a hood bulge on the car
to accommodate the extraheight...they are also 175cds instead of the 150
that are supposed to be on the car. I was doing some investigating on my own
about engine numbers and such and it appears that I actually have a 2.5L
TR250 motor in the car instead of the 2L gt6 motor. that would explain the
larger carbs and the extra height and the distributor difference. I would
really just appreciate any info that a Triumph enthusiast could give me.
Also, I am sending a pic of the distributor. its got an odd dual vacume
setup which ive never seen before. Have you ever seen a distributor like
this? Is it factory equipment for a TR250? Im including stamped numbers
includong the cars VIN. Any help at all is very much appreciated.

Apparently, I screwed it up on my first attempt, so here goes the second try.
I would like to nominate Silvio DeBartolomeis to the list. He's a TR3A owner
who is active in the Rocky Mountain Triumph Club & is getting ready to attempt
the restoration of a '56 TR3.  He's certifiably insane, so he should fit right

I have had an internal spring break and the motor would not drop below 5K 
rpm.
So Bill you have removed the internal spring on each webber and are  using 
only external springs. Are you using just one on the peddle lever or have 
you rigged  a spring  for each carb.

I have also had another issue of high revs in ideal position after a 40 sec. 
auto X run. Could I have worn throttle shafts that will not allow the 
throttle plate to seat properly. I can bring the rmp down by pulling back on 
the linkage I don't have the issue after a 30  min. road course run 
thanks   rob

I have a spring for each carb arm and one for the main shaft--three in all.
That way if a carb lever gets loose the carb will close rather than wander
open.

Perhaps everyone knows this, but JIC; note that the 240Z drums will not fit
on a TR4 without additional machining.  The stud holes are the right PCD,
but diameter is too small.  Plus the lip of the drum will interfere with the
backing plate unless a substantial portion of one or the other is cut away.

I believe that you have to do alittle grinding to make them fit right but
they work good, in one of Jack Drews articles he gives you all the needed
demensions, I have done this and it is cheaper depending on what your time
is worth.

II just fit a set of these last year luckily managed to get a set or 
originals from a friends 240z.
I had to open up the center pilot hole on a lathe to match the TR6 hub 
with a little clearance.
The inner part of the drum labyrinth needs to be cut down to clear the 
backing plate.
I did that on a jury rigged brake lathe but I'm sure it can be done on 
most lathes.
I've seen new 240Z finned aluminum drums in Brembo Boxes so I'm sure 
they are still available.

Amici Thank you for the info about Datsun brake drums for our TRs.
But these drums are all 9'' ?
I have a TR3 with 10'' drums and I am looking for Alfins, in the period
style (I think these Alfins were circumferentially finned, not transversely
as the Datsun's, but has anyone info on that?).
Merry Christmas !
Thank you for you inputs!
Cheers
Alex

Does anyone have a part number for a NAPA seal or equivalent?  I am trying
to reseal my box and I can't find the seal I thought I had.

 

Thanks,

Amici,

We have a bunch of spare engine blocks laying around the shop and I'm
wondering what is the best way to store them.  I normally set them on
a block of wood but I'm wondering if setting them on concrete might
not be better.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

A more festive way to store them would be to paint them bright colors and hang
them from the ceiling. Okay that may not be an option but I would store them
off the ground on a rack to help keep them dry.

Hi

Bear in mind that concrete is porous and sweats in humid conditions, wood tends to absorb moisture.

My advice for storing metal bits mechanical and pieces is to coat in light oil (spray duck oil etc.), wrap in cling film and store so that air can circulate around ..... Works for me in steel containers, so should work anywhere. Avoid a garage where your other half has a tumble drier - these are the work of the devil. I'd rather wear wet pants ....

The goal is prevent hydration. Cosmolene comes to mind.  If you want an oil based product that is amazing.. Try Ballistol spray.  I use it for storing firearms. Simply amazing.

Brad:

I have to agree with Tony.  Whether it be car parts or complete cars, concrete
sweats and accelerates rust.  Climate controlled storage would be the first
choice but expensive.  For most people wood should be the first choice with
packed dirt your second choice (under roof of course).  If you're going to
store on concrete for an extended period (like you have) I put cheap plywood
down to absorb the moisture.

Tommy might rent you some storage space cheap. :-)

Enjoy,

Ernie

I've got several cans of cosmolene, I think I'll just spray them down
and stack them on end using 2x4s keeping the top and bottom surfaces
off the concrete.

I'll have to look into the Ballistol spray next time I need to order
something like that.

Thanks for all the replies,

Brad

Susan seemed to think the bright colors idea had some merit.
Fortunately it's to cold right now to paint anything so if I hurry and
get them stashed before before the cold spell ends I should be ok :)

If the bores are honed or clean or worthy of keeping as they  are....put 
Marvel Mystery Oil in them(use a thoroughly soaked rag or your hand  and sop 
them good...also the top block surface)....

Susan seemed to think the bright colors idea had some merit.
Fortunately it's to cold right now to paint anything so if I hurry and
get them stashed before before the cold spell ends I should be ok :)

Hi Mark,
Yes it has been a very good read. Well done Kas.
I have been particularly interested in Chuck Gees Gt6 story, as I am hoping to
have my rebuild of Jack Woerle's old GT6 ready in the spring and it appears we
are on the same track with some of the fit-up. Chuck if you are on the list I
would be very interested if you have any race or track testing results for
your girl?
Merry Christmas to all
Bill Bartlett

I had no idea that Ballistol is used outside of Germany.
I use Ballistol for conservations of a lot of metal things, leather of my
cars seats and so on.
It is different than WD40.

Cheers
Chris

And Merry x-mas

The goal is prevent hydration. Cosmolene comes to mind.  If you want an oil
based product that is amazing.. Try Ballistol spray.  I use it for storing
firearms. Simply amazing.

Hi Walt,

I had CarboTech make up some racing pads for
me.  These calipers were used by lots of Nissan
racers, and there are (or were) several options
out there if you contact some of the brake
experts like Carbotech or Porterfield.

Good luck,
John

I use Carbotech AX6 compound pads with my Toyota calipers.  Work 
great, no fade, easy on the rotors, no melted chunks of brake 
material embedded in the clearcoat on the wheels.

Walt,
You can do what I did and go to your local auto parts store and ask to look
at their Dorman catalog.  You might have to convert to metric sizes in order
to find a good match but that is nothing to worry about.

Walt,

I'm using ARP P/N 100-7708 "12mm x 1.50 Late Model GM/Corvette".  These 
will press into TR6 hubs
without re-drilling the holes and are 3" long.  They are metric so you 
have to use the appropriate metric lugnuts.

I switched from the Carbotech AX6 to their AX10 compound (front only) and  
after 2 weekends I like them.  Supposedly they give better grip when you  
want it at the cost of higher rotor wear.  Since I'm usually pretty easy  
on the brakes I think it's a good tradeoff for when I really really want  
to stop.  Don

there are heaps of metric studs that will press in but i have never found a
direct/correct replacment for the taper seat ones that or found on the rear
of TR6. I beleive the ARP ones suggested are flat baked and are wrong for
the rear . if someone has found the correct taper seat stud, please let us

Search for Grayston competition wheel spacers.
They provide a complete set with spacer and bolts and not expensive.

Hi,

maybe you might be interested in watching these footage of Dick Stockton in
his TR4.

Well driven, great engine, good battle - as it should be - and one heart

I was checking out Auto Trader Triumphs this morning and I found this TR4
racecar for sale at F40 Motorsports, home of Chasing classic Cars on HDNET.

"Price collusion alert" We should all agree to raise the value of our racecars
up close to what Wayne Carini thinks they are worth. After all, he's on TV and
an expert. If your TR4 is for sale and in nice shape raise the price to 40K
immediately :) Surely you can get more than you think!

-----Urspr|ngliche Nachricht-----
Von: fot-bounces at autox.team.net [mailto:fot-bounces at autox.team.net] Im
Auftrag von Mark Vaden
Gesendet: Mittwoch, 1. Dezember 2010 06:03
An: FOT
Betreff: [Fot] Racing Software

Hi Everyone,

As many of you already know, as a side project for the past 3 years I have
been working on a piece of software with a colleague called DashWare.
DashWare allows you to analyze video and data together, as well as overlay
gauges on top of video. Until recently ChaseCam was our exclusive
distributor, and they handled all of our sales and marketing. Our software
always worked with a variety of data loggers and cameras, but most of our
sales were to ChaseCam customers. In an attempt to widen our appeal, in
addition to selling through ChaseCam, we are also selling DashWare
independantly of ChaseCam at www.DashWare.net. We are still working with
ChaseCam, and in fact their new DIVA system uses DashWare for all the
analysis. If you are in the market for a camera and logger I would
definitely recommend the DIVA.

If you already have a camera and a logger, or are thinking of buying either,
check out DashWare. DashWare works with almost every data logger on the
market, as well as many cameras including ChaseCam, GoPro, ContourHD,
ContourGPS and others. One feature that we really like is our compatibility
with multiple loggers, as this increases the likelihood of comparing your
data to someone else's.  There is more information and a free trial
available at www.DashWare.net.

I know commercial posts are controversial on the FOT mailing list, but since
our product was built with racing in mind, I thought it was appropriate. I
myself like seeing what products other triumph racers are offering, but I
understand people do not like to be bombarded with ads. If you have any
questions you can ping me directly or visit the website at www.DashWare.net.

Thanks,

Mark,

I use the traqmate and have two cameras, one being the go-pro and the other a

polaroid HD. I have been looking for a used Chase Cam set up to replace

one or both. In the past, with the traqmate it's a real PIA trying to sync the
data

with the video with anything other than the Chase cam as the chase cam and

traqmate auto sync. As things are now I need to get the camera running

before I belt up and start the data logger just before I roll out for the pace
lap.

Can you describe the proceedure for syncronizing the video to the data?

Hi Everyone,

As many of you already know, as a side project for the past 3 years I have
been working on a piece of software with a colleague called DashWare.
DashWare allows you to analyze video and data together, as well as overlay
gauges on top of video. Until recently ChaseCam was our exclusive
distributor, and they handled all of our sales and marketing. Our software
always worked with a variety of data loggers and cameras, but most of our
sales were to ChaseCam customers. In an attempt to widen our appeal, in
addition to selling through ChaseCam, we are also selling DashWare
independantly of ChaseCam at www.DashWare.net. We are still working with
ChaseCam, and in fact their new DIVA system uses DashWare for all the
analysis. If you are in the market for a camera and logger I would
definitely recommend the DIVA.

If you already have a camera and a logger, or are thinking of buying either,
check out DashWare. DashWare works with almost every data logger on the
market, as well as many cameras including ChaseCam, GoPro, ContourHD,
ContourGPS and others. One feature that we really like is our compatibility
with multiple loggers, as this increases the likelihood of comparing your
data to someone else's. B There is more information and a free trial
available at www.DashWare.net.

I know commercial posts are controversial on the FOT mailing list, but since
our product was built with racing in mind, I thought it was appropriate. I
myself like seeing what products other triumph racers are offering, but I
understand people do not like to be bombarded with ads. If you have any
questions you can ping me directly or visit the website at www.DashWare.net.

Thanks,
Mark

Book is GREAT ! Got it yesterday already (in the middle of Europe).
First great presentation : it is a "real" book with traditional binding, no
spiral, of big size, excellent quality pix printing.
Great content and pix !
Informative, fun, thrilling, just everything !
We all want to go racing, but now there is snow everywhere here!
Did not open the DVD, despite temptation, as otherwise I will be useless in
the firm for 2 more days.
And as a bonus for me, I know can put faces on all these great chaps we get
advice and input from: Kas of course, Bill B, Greg S, Mordy D, Jeff
Schlemmer, Joe A, Chuck, Tony D, Chris M, and much missed Uncle Jack.
We all look fwd to the 5th book !
Thank you so much Kas (and Peggy, and al of course)
Cheers!
Alex

Yes. The port spacing is different. I don't recall where the cutoff was
though.

the new format, it looks a lot like a Carrol Smith book and it's easier to
handle than the comb-bound books, plus the large size makes the photos far

I've ordered two. If you don't have at least one and you own or race a Triumph
then I just don't know what you' could be thinking--thousands of dollars of
knowledge and entertainment for less than fifty bucks. Worth every nickel.

For federal emmisions spec TR6, the TR250 and TR6 CC25000 through roughly 
CC75000 all had the "narrow port" heads and the intake manifold that tries 
to force air to turn at right angles.

:-)

But figure that the US got the good heads starting with the '72 model 
year.

There's actually a lot of minor nuances through the model years with the 
'72 getting the best of all the various parts.

I believe I've seen that photo before, but hydrazine wasn't mentioned then.
The block, heads and blower were broken into multiple small bits and
scattered around the landscape.  Probably partially vaporized and burned as
well.

I have a friend who is a long time drag racer. From what he's told me 
the NHRA banned nitro back in the mid-60's requiring the use of 
gasoline. Some racers dosed their gas with hydrazine (illegal). The 
stuff was highly unstable when mixed with gas so they would add it at 
the last minute and then make sure they ran the tank dry before 
shutdown. One time a driver shut down before all the fuel was gone after 
a run. Several minute later, after being pulled back into the pits, the 
residual hydrazine laced fuel in the combustion chambers lit off, 
blowing the heads off the engine. Another time, when the dragsters were 
in the staging lanes just before their turn to run, there was a delay 
when another car oiled down the track. The crew chiefs could be seen 
pulling off the fuel tanks from the rails and dumping the contents in 
the dirt along side the track. Hydrazine used to give a green tinge to 
the exhaust flame, thus the saying "If it's burnin' green he's runnin' 
hydrazine."

Cheers,
Kurt O.

It's arrived. Hooray.

Canada Post had it in a plastic bag saying it got damaged in the stream...

Yeah what ever. More like someone was peeking ;)

Anyhow the book looks to be healthy, but had been promptly taken away
by my wife to be wrapped for xmas.

Foiled again.

Subject: [Fot] Triumph GT6 Transmission conversion to TR6?
Message-ID: <A00C2865-C827-4A95-8D43-DFF5B1CB2244@comcast.net>

Having just munched the third transmission in about two years, I'm  
ready to upgrade to something beefier, but would like to keep it in  
the Triumph family, and need a vintage compliant 4 speed (no 5 speeds  
need apply!).

I'm thinking about a TR6 box, and have started the thought process by  
lining up a TR4 box that I have next to the GT6 box - bell housing  
shape is identical, except that the TR4 box places the starter about  
1/2" higher.  Shifter falls in the same place, though a shorter drive  
shaft and a modified rear mount will be needed as the overall  
transmission is about 4" longer.

The 4's input shaft is a larger diameter - is the TR6 box different in  
that respect from the TR4, given that the TR6 and GT6 engines are  
stroked/de-stroked versions of each other?

If anyone has done this swap, what other clutch, flywheel and  
hydraulics changes have you made? Can you use a TR6 engine plate or  
does one need to be made up?   Lastly, does anyone have a TR6 box they  
want to get rid of?

Thanks!

Scott,

I know very little about the compatibility between models but I do no  
this:

My TR3 uses a TR6 gearbox with a CR gearset utilizing a 1" 10-spline  
shaft that accepts a stock GT6 Clutch and pressure plate.

Hi all-

One of my sons is building a 6-cyl Spitfire as a winter project. He already
has the Spitfire and a donor GT6 Mk 3 and is a more-than-capable mechanic.

This will be his second 6-cyl Spit but the first was a quick and dirty project
built over 20 years ago.

Any helpful suggestions? Pitfalls to avoid? Sources? He will undoubtedly go
for power mods.

No need to bore the whole list with this project so please contact me at
mlcooknj at msn.com

Thanks!!

Mike Cook

Does he have any plans to set the engine back further in the chassis to
maintain the weight balance?  With the swing-axles, I'm not sure I'd
want to drive one with the GT6 (or TR6) motor in the stock location.

A friend of mine has created a Spit-6 racer which he runs in one of
Midwestern Council's unrestricted categories.  He moved the engine back
approximately 4 inches, so that the stock engine mounts attach to a new
mounting tab welded to the "spring tower".

The little bugger really goes!

Subject: [Fot] VTR and the TVT  supports the FOT    Redinger/Cook/Discher
Message-ID: <8CD611BAF3703DD-1298-4951@webmail-m037.sysops.aol.com>

 I would like to thank FOTs Bill Redinger and Mike Cook for the extensive
coverage of the Kastner Cup event in Topeka.  Truly outstanding writing and
photography.

Not all FOT are current or past racers, but most are uniquely qualified to
make a significant contribution to our LIST MEMBERS.

THANKS also to Blake Discher, President of VTR, for his collaboration and
support. The last two Kastner Cup posters were produced by Blake courtesy of
the VTR and printed by an ISOA member.

Blake and I have a vision to draw the VTR and the FOT together, at least in an
informal way. Several FOT are already deeply involved with the Vintaqe Triumph
Register. Since we have no formal organization, I would recommend that you
attach yourself to the VTR as members, especially since they are so supportive
of our efforts.

I would expect to see a very strong presence of the VTR at Laguna Seca....HMSA
insurance allows 1,000 attendees at our Kastner Cup event.....expect this
event to be about our Triumphs....we will be the stars.

BTW, Christian Marx' engineering efforts made the COVER of the last TVT
magazine, along with a four page article on the installation of Chris' new
Viton seal by ISOA members, Bob Streepy and Steve Yott.

Joining VTR is an easy thing to do......and our Mike Cook puts out a great
magazine.

This is great news, as this is that FOT Badge is the only thing I got for 
my wife for Christmas this year, and she'd sure be distressed if there was 
nothing under the tree for her.

She's tough to buy for any more.  She's already got the lawn mower, two 
rakes and a snow shovel I bought her previously.

Boy are you in luck. Kas Kaster's new book has a step-by-step build of Chuck
Gee's GT-6 racer. I've read the whole thing carefully because the approach
applies to any vintage racecar. But it's a literal step-by-step recipe with
loads of pictures of exactly how to build a great GT6 in deep detail. 100
pages.

Scott, check with John at Quantum Mechanics
http://www.quantumechanics.com/ .  He has a stash of new TR7/TR8 gear sets
and corresponding hardware that he puts in a Spitfire case. The shafts are
machined down to match you application, early spit/ late spit/ GT6 and
takes much more abuse. I've had one in my racing Spitfire for a few years
and the breaks occur downstream now. You still have a 4 speed, Triumph,
transmission and besides the reliability you get close ratio and full
syncros as a bonus.  The only other thing I'd do to this box is reinforce
the tail piece, still a weak spot.


Having just munched the third transmission in about two years, I'm
ready to upgrade to something beefier, but would like to keep it in
the Triumph family, and need a vintage compliant 4 speed (no 5 speeds
need apply!).

This is great news, as this is that FOT Badge is the only thing I got for
my wife for Christmas this year, and she'd sure be distressed if there was
nothing under the tree for her.

She's tough to buy for any more.  She's already got the lawn mower, two
rakes and a snow shovel I bought her previously.

Ha. Sadly I've met my xmas budget limit for 2010.

Mrs Rousseau ordered me a brand new SA 2010 race helmet as my big present.

Frankly I can't wait for the day when I can take her to a track day
for a spin in the race car ;)
Doubtful she'll get the same enjoyment as I did when Bill took me out
for the reenactment at the Glen, but worth a try.

Still it's been a big year for the Rousseau family so I can hardly complaint.

We upgraded from our town house to a beautiful single family home on a
large lot with a double car garage.
Not a small undertaking for any family, but I still managed to get my
race program off the ground with 2 weekends. A huge bonus.

I'm sure all you racer/car types out there can relate.

I look forward to xmas day when I can sit back and flip though Kas's book.

Cheers.

A.

Message-ID: <AANLkTi=wYumsVBqV=ej-OERiKkJKd433z378CD7MWVRC@mail.gmail.com>

the use of a TR box is common here in australia, however the biggest issue
is the crappy ratios unless you buy the close ratio kit and substantial
extra weight

most original CR kits are from the dolomite sprint era and these have a
common 10 x 1" spline, smaller than TR. clutches are no problem. some
vendors now supply different input shafts

the TR engine plate is required

my race gt6 uses a much modified TR7 4 speed

I wrote this for another list, but there are possibly a few of you who
here who might want some advance warning of possible Team.Net
downtime.  I don't want to be the cause of even more hoilday panic!

If you might be wondering about the FOT list and how long it has been
a part of Team.Net, we have a birthday coming up.  Check out

http://www.team.net/mharc/archives/html/fot/1996-12/index.html


Anyway, here's the message:


Yes, there are still some spam messages from hijacked email accounts
getting through now and then.  I've been working on the issue a bit,
but it is turning out to be a case of 'shipwright's disease' as we
know it, applied to computers.  If you don't know what I am talking
about, check out

http://www.team.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32


Basically to tighten up security and improve a few things I'm planning
on updating the operating system and all the user level programs that
Team.Net uses.  Not a small undertaking, but well within my abilities.
Currently there is no budget for hardware upgrades, perhaps after the
spring fund drive.  Of course, if you haven't yet spent all your loot
on holiday gifts and such and wanted to donate [ link below ] I would
not complain ;-)

The process will take a fair bit of time over who knows how many late
nights at the keyboard.  With luck it will all be unnoticed by you
folks, transparent to the user, as they say.  But there is always a
chance of service not being available for some period of time,
hopefully no more than minutes at a time.  It could be something
simple, like a stupid typo in a config file, or it could be one of the
cats jumping the the keyboard as I go to fetch some more refrehments
and somehow managing to hit the CONFIRM REFORMAT OF ALL DISKS button.

 I remember what it was like when the ISP I was using for the DSL line
went belly up and Team.Net was off the air for 8 days - not a good
thing.  Actually, I wonder what the up vs. down time percentages might
be over the last 19 years and 7 months of Team.Net.  I won't count the
years before that when I ran it from the U of U.

Anyway, short story is if Team.Net disappears at times over the
next few weeks, don't panic, I'll be working on it.

This TR5 was entered in the 1969 Targa Florio  by Demetriou Racing for Alan
Smith and Nick Faure. The car was standard apart from stiffened suspension and
racing tyres and Nick qualified it in a very respectable 44mins, which was
over 3 minutes quicker than the only other car in the class, a Ferrari 275
GTB. Unfortunately due, I believe, to electrical problems the car crashed out
of the race on lap 3.
Nick Faure was a very accomplished driver who mainly raced Porsches including
arcing at Le Mans on a number of occasions.

The old formula gas tank sealers are not impervious to ethanol.  I recently
worked on a Model T Ford that had sealer applied some time ago, and it turned
into a green goo and completely clogged the entire fuel system.  This
necessitated replacing the tank (it was leaking anyway, probably why it was
sealed initially) making a new fuel line from the tank in the trunk to the
carb, and completely disassembling the carb and thoroughly cleaning it out.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but better than putting it in service
and having to do what I had to.

You can add two-stroke oil to the fuel, that will help to protect the tank

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but better than putting it in service
and having to do what I had to.

I use the Tilton pedals but had to reinforce the shelf due to pretty massive flex 

when hard on the brakes.

 Hello All,

I have a question concerning my ignition - it's a Mallory Dual Point
distributor with mechanical advance and a Crane FireBall Hi-Output Coil PS92
(?).  All are in good condition and set according to my engine tune with fresh
plugs.  When testing for a misfire, pulling one plug wire at a time, I found
the following condition :  if I pull the plug wire for number 1 or number 4
cylinders there is a very noticeable change in the engine's idle.  If I pull
the plug wire for number 2 or number 3 cylinder there is little to no change
in the engine's idle.  There is a spark there but not as big the spark at
number 1 and 4.

Serious diagnosis will be most appreciated, or at least a direction of where
to start looking.

 Terrific!

John Nikas and I counting 60 +  potential entries.   We will gain some more
and lose a few, but it appears to be likely the most heavily entered Kastner
Cup event in it's 9th year of the series.

There is a west coast committee working on various components of the event to
ensure it's success. Furthermore, we should be the focal point of the event.

I suspect we will get a progress report from the west coast, shortly.

I suspect that you're looking for a single master cylinder with dual circuits.

However if you're looking for a dual master cylinder arrangement, 
here are pictures of my setup:

 So ... to answer those questions asked, I recently just completed a
compression check and a leak-down test.  all checked out good and numbers are
comparable to the last check in 2009.  Like I mentioned, the plugs are new but
I will check and test the plug wires.  And, for those that queried I test for
spark/misfire by removing the plug wire at the cap one at a time.

Engine is 1500 plus .030" over and milled .100".  Carb is a single 45dcoe13
Weber.

Thanks for the questions,
Bob T.

I have the same setup, or did. After running a session I found the point
gaps were off due to the wearing down of the wafer riding on the cam.
Couldn't keep it timed. I removed the points plate and installed a
Pertronics Ignitor and have eliminated all problems. Timing stays where you
put it.

Subject: [Fot] Ignition Problem


 Hello All,



I have a question concerning my ignition - it's a Mallory Dual Point

distributor with mechanical advance and a Crane FireBall Hi-Output Coil PS92

(?).  All are in good condition and set according to my engine tune with
fresh

plugs.  When testing for a misfire, pulling one plug wire at a time, I found

the following condition :  if I pull the plug wire for number 1 or number 4

cylinders there is a very noticeable change in the engine's idle.  If I pull

the plug wire for number 2 or number 3 cylinder there is little to no change

in the engine's idle.  There is a spark there but not as big the spark at

number 1 and 4.



Serious diagnosis will be most appreciated, or at least a direction of where

to start looking.





Spitfire looking for power,

Bob T.

'64 Spit GT  autocrosser

Ho ho ho

I just finished at the post office after being there for 45 minutes. Can you
guess what I was doing?

Delivery is expected by Christmas to the members in US and Canada. I am not
too sure about Europe and Australia.  I can hope.

Have a safe and grand Christmas.

Morning listers, my question is: during the off season, what is the censes on
whether to leave the block full of water or drain it and leave dry, or do
folks drain and fill with an antifreeze mix ? freezing is not an issue in my
case. Secondly, my daughter scored a red tr6 hot wheels which i had not been
able to find but also found a blue one with orange stripes, had not seen the
later one ever mentioned on the list. I want to take this time to wish
everyone a merry christmas ( in my case) or happy holidays to

DRAIN!

And leave dry (Which is what I did with the racer) or fill with pre mix
stuff.

But it tends stay well below freezing here for a while.

The thing is...If you drain the block they almost never dry out. Moisture with
oxygen equals r-u-s-t.....Anti freeze mixture is what I use in all my cars.

I drain mine and fill it with 50/50 antifreeze.  The times that I drained it
and left it "dry" it developed a lot of corrosion in the coolant passages.
You can not easily get it completely dry and if you store it in a cold
environment it will develop condensation.

I found 2 red TR6 Hot Wheels at Big Lots a couple of weeks ago for $0.99 each.
St Nicholas day was December 7th, so they made a nice little gift for my son.

Ho ho ho

I just finished at the post office after being there for 45 minutes. Can you
guess what I was doing?

Delivery is expected by Christmas to the members in US and Canada. I am not
too sure about Europe and Australia.  I can hope.

Have a safe and grand Christmas.

Bob, I bought one last month. It looks OK but I won't be able to test it
under load until the spring, engine apart, snow on the ground. It bolted in
my existing frame with out any mods. One thing I don't like about it, and
some of my previous stock Triumph radiators, is the lack of a drain plug. I
need to pull the hose to drain it for removal. The hose is coming off
anyway but it's just not as clean that way.

"Anyone hear from someone using the aluminum 2 row radiators on ebay
selling
for $150 ?  If they work why use the ones selling for $400."

Subject: [Fot] Car hauler trailer
Message-ID: <3868259E92D2489399E195A3A1903EAF@Bucktailus>

Does anyone have interest in a good looking enclosed goose neck car hauler?
In Northwest Ohio one is on the market.  I spotted this trailer and called the
owner to get the details.  It is a Southwest Express,  40 foot length. It is a
2001 model.  It was used as a sprint car hauler.  Aluminum floor, many tie
downs,  9 foot ceiling, and brakes on all three axles.   It is red in color
and appears to be in great shape.  He is asking $17,000,. I bet he would take
$15,000. If anyone is interested, I would be glad to crawl inside and under
checking it out.  Right now I would have to shovel my way under, unless he has
it inside?  His phone number is 419-721-1778.  Any of you Midwesterners that
are considering on hauling to Laguna Seca, here is your chance to get set up.

Chris...

My badge arrived yesterday, and it is awesome.  I expected it to be nice 
(based on your descriptions), but it exceeded my expectations.

Like I said, it's going under the Christmas tree for wife, Shirley Jean, 
but it's so nice, it'll have to count for her birthday too.  

Thank you for your efforts.

When I lived near Monterey, my TR3 had a Monterey British motors license 
frame in back and a 1960 Del Monte Forest entrance badge on the side of 
the grille.  Now that I'm in Arizona, the new FOT badge will replace the 
Del Monte Forest badge on the side of grille.  I figure one badge up 
front is plenty.
> I have so many badges and dish plaque from over the years
I'm guilty of throwing away my event plaques and judging placement 
plates, plaques, ribbons & such during my last two moves.  I never could 
find an attractive way to display them when I would prefer to display my 
photography instead.  And it seemed like the only time I opened the box 
they were in was when I was moving.  About the only things I've kept as 
been event posters, Monterey historics programmes, and a couple club 
grille badges which are in a box that only gets seen when I move.

FOT BADGE QUESTION:

Is the brass just polished or is it polished AND clear coated??  If it 
has not been clear coated I'm thinking of clear coating mine prior to 
mounting & exposing it to the elements.

The badges have a brass base the rest is GOLD plated, front and back.

I think putting a coating on isn't needed

Got mine yesterday as well. Everyone is right, they are great.
I may have to
work up a different mounting for the late Spit, though.
Myabe I should have
ordered one for the Stag as well. But since
I can't drive both at the same
time (and the Stag hasn't moved
for 7 years) I can just swap them back and
forth. ;)

The badges have a brass base the
rest is GOLD plated, front and back.

I think putting a coating on isn't
needed

FOT-

We have negotiated a discounted room rate for FOT at the Embassy  
Suites Hotel for the 2011 Kastner Cup. The Embassy Suites is the  
official hotel of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (http:// 
www.mazdaraceway.com) and offers close access to both the track and to  
the many attractions of the Monterey Bay area.

A block of rooms has been reserved for FOT members at the rate of  
$155.00/night (plus tax). Rooms are 2-room suites and include daily  
complimentary breakfast and Manager's cocktail reception. For  
additional information, terms and conditions, and to make a  
reservation please visit:

http://embassysuites.hilton.com/en/es/groups/personalized/M/MRYESES-FOT-20110605/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG
Group Name:	Friends of Triumph
Group Code:	FOT
Check-in:	05-JUN-2011
Check-out:	09-JUN-2011
Hotel Name:	Embassy Suites Monterey Bay - Seaside
Hotel Address:	1441 Canyon Del Rey
  	Seaside, California
  	93955
Phone Number:	831-393-1115

The Embassy Suites management has shown real excitement at the idea of  
hosting our fine group! With a satisfactory number of reservations,  
they have offered to set-up exclusive receptions and to provide  
dedicated parking lot  facilities for us. I encourage you to make your  
reservation as early as possible. Monterey, California is a well known  
resort area so there are many options for accommodations at various  
price levels. A partial listing can be seen at: http://www.mazdaraceway.com/pages/hotels

For those interested in camping sites/RV hook-ups, these are reserved  
through Monterey County Parks (888-588-2267) in campsites located just  
outside of the Raceway, however, reservations will not be taken until  
late January. We are also trying to get information on overnighting at  
the track which is restricted. Please stay tuned for more information  
to follow.

Happy Holidays,
John Frymark (K-Cup '11 Organizing Committee)

You guys (and gals) are *killing* me!  Mine hasn't arrived yet and 
already I'm thinking about a second one.  Trouble is, I only have one

Since I have been asked I will say this:


I have a VERY LIMITED supply of leftovers.  15 badges to be exact!   
If you want one here are the detals....

Price is still $30 each. That includes shipping.

Payment is either PayPal (SeaCubeCo at aol.com) or mail (Chris Bock,  
3630 Italia Ave, Vineland, NJ 08361)

Before you send a check or use paypal let me know that you are  
interested and how many you want.  I will get back to you and then  
send payment.

I don't want to have someone pay and then have no more badges.


ok now.....

Start the emails coming saying that you want the badges.


If I get over 40 more badge requests I can do another run.

Got my badge today!  Absolutely awesome and exactly worthy of this
august
disorganization.  Thanx immensely for all your work getting them  done
and
shipped.  An amazing effort not to be underestimated.

That said, I can't put this treasure on the racer!  Firstly the weight
is
worth a half second a lap but more importantly, I can't risk some errant

Porsche damaging such a thing of beauty.  I'll make it into a neck charm
or
maybe a tattoo.  Or maybe carry it in my pocket a lot.

Thanx again for the work, they turned out beautiful....Steve

Message-ID: <7E8ED10C-34C2-414E-9303-26764621E650@aol.com>

Amici,

Since there was a very good demand for the second chance of the extra  
badges I have, I am going to have a second batch made.

So...................

If you want one let me know by DECEMBER 30!   I will start the ball  
rolling and get it done.  Shipping out to you fellow Friends of  
Triumph members will be around Mid-February.

Price hasn't changed, still $30, shipping included.


Payment is either PayPal (SeaCubeCo at aol.com) or mail (Chris Bock,  
3630 Italia Ave, Vineland, NJ 08361).

Just make sure an address that you want the badges shipped to is  
included.


You have read the emails about how people love them.  Now its your  
time to get one!


thanks

Chris

Hey membership,

Got a set of almost new Carillo rods for a 1300 Spitfire ( I think they
are the same for 1147 and 1500 too). Anyway my engine builder wants to
use Pauter rods so my loss is your gain. 500.00 gets them.

1300 which was the large crank 1296 used in the Mk4. If they fit the 1147
Spit in the Mk1&2 those engines have a prefix of FC; the small crank 1296
(desirable for racing) has an engine prefix of FE or FD. 
Hope that helps avoid confusion.

Hey membership,

Got a set of almost new Carillo rods for a 1300 Spitfire ( I think they
are the same for 1147 and 1500 too). Anyway my engine builder wants to
use Pauter rods so my loss is your gain. 500.00 gets them.

The 1959 TR3S bodys were destroyed and their frames used for the 1960 and 61
TRS Lemans cars. Sorry this is not an original body or car, just a rendition!

And of course the ugly, like going to the store to get a few more
items for dinner and coming back to find some unknown dimwit
ran into your fence.  What fun.  It is cold, dark and rainy, I'll look
at it tomorrow, it may not be too difficult to fix.

The Good - Totally unexpected to me I found an FOT grill badge
in my PO Box.  Now I see why folks have been praising it.  It is
very nice.  It is so nice to get tokens of appreciation for the work
I put into Team.Net.

The Bad - One FOT person who does not appreciate the way I've handled
things is Rob, the one who sent out the message about the Weber carbs.
He is well within his rights to drag me to the town square and throw
me in the stocks.  We made an agreement back in August about this
purchase.  The crash I had with the CRV should have delayed the
shipment no more than a week or two while my leg healed.  As he
said, it is now 4 months.  I have no valid reason for such a delay, but
can offer all sorts of lame excuses.  Sad to say this is not the first
time such pointless procrastination on my part has been involved in
parts dealings with FOT folks.  I'd like to swear it will never happen
again, but habit is a powerful force to overcome.  And when it comes to
habits I have plenty of bad ones.  So it goes.

The carbs will be on their way soon.  I need to replace the internal return
spring on one, should not be a problem.  They are a problem if they break
while on the car, as Tony Drews found out at Hallet a few years back.  Glad
I was able to assist with that problem.

Enough personal blatherings, back to Triumph racing.

They can jam the return up, overcoming external springs. Been there, done
that. I toss them and use good long springs that are far less likely to break.

Subject: What engine do I have?

 

I hope you someone can give me some help with my car. My name is Eric and I
live about 45 minutes north of houston on 59 in a small town called
shepherd. I bought a 1972 gt6 a while back and have slowely been working on
it. Ive encountered some oddities while ordering parts like the points i
ordered are nothing like what are on the car now. the carbs are held about
an inch higher than hood clearance forcing me to put a hood bulge on the car
to accommodate the extraheight...they are also 175cds instead of the 150
that are supposed to be on the car. I was doing some investigating on my own
about engine numbers and such and it appears that I actually have a 2.5L
TR250 motor in the car instead of the 2L gt6 motor. that would explain the
larger carbs and the extra height and the distributor difference. I would
really just appreciate any info that a Triumph enthusiast could give me.
Also, I am sending a pic of the distributor. its got an odd dual vacume
setup which ive never seen before. Have you ever seen a distributor like
this? Is it factory equipment for a TR250? Im including stamped numbers
includong the cars VIN. Any help at all is very much appreciated.

Amici-

Apparently, I screwed it up on my first attempt, so here goes the second try.
I would like to nominate Silvio DeBartolomeis to the list. He's a TR3A owner
who is active in the Rocky Mountain Triumph Club & is getting ready to attempt
the restoration of a '56 TR3.  He's certifiably insane, so he should fit right
in with the rest of us!  E-mail is silvio at koelbelco.com.

Seconds?

Fred Hodgson

I have had an internal spring break and the motor would not drop below 5K 
rpm.
So Bill you have removed the internal spring on each webber and are  using 
only external springs. Are you using just one on the peddle lever or have 
you rigged  a spring  for each carb.

I have also had another issue of high revs in ideal position after a 40 sec. 
auto X run. Could I have worn throttle shafts that will not allow the 
throttle plate to seat properly. I can bring the rmp down by pulling back on 
the linkage I don't have the issue after a 30  min. road course run 
thanks   rob

I have a spring for each carb arm and one for the main shaft--three in all.
That way if a carb lever gets loose the carb will close rather than wander
open.

Perhaps everyone knows this, but JIC; note that the 240Z drums will not fit
on a TR4 without additional machining.  The stud holes are the right PCD,
but diameter is too small.  Plus the lip of the drum will interfere with the
backing plate unless a substantial portion of one or the other is cut away.

I believe that you have to do alittle grinding to make them fit right but
they work good, in one of Jack Drews articles he gives you all the needed
demensions, I have done this and it is cheaper depending on what your time
is worth.

II just fit a set of these last year luckily managed to get a set or 
originals from a friends 240z.
I had to open up the center pilot hole on a lathe to match the TR6 hub 
with a little clearance.
The inner part of the drum labyrinth needs to be cut down to clear the 
backing plate.
I did that on a jury rigged brake lathe but I'm sure it can be done on 
most lathes.
I've seen new 240Z finned aluminum drums in Brembo Boxes so I'm sure 
they are still available.

Amici Thank you for the info about Datsun brake drums for our TRs.
But these drums are all 9'' ?
I have a TR3 with 10'' drums and I am looking for Alfins, in the period
style (I think these Alfins were circumferentially finned, not transversely
as the Datsun's, but has anyone info on that?).
Merry Christmas !
Thank you for you inputs!
Cheers
Alex

These can sometimes be crossed to a double lip seal as well.

Amici,

We have a bunch of spare engine blocks laying around the shop and I'm
wondering what is the best way to store them.  I normally set them on
a block of wood but I'm wondering if setting them on concrete might
not be better.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

A more festive way to store them would be to paint them bright colors and hang
them from the ceiling. Okay that may not be an option but I would store them
off the ground on a rack to help keep them dry.

Hi

Bear in mind that concrete is porous and sweats in humid conditions, wood tends to absorb moisture.

My advice for storing metal bits mechanical and pieces is to coat in light oil (spray duck oil etc.), wrap in cling film and store so that air can circulate around ..... Works for me in steel containers, so should work anywhere. Avoid a garage where your other half has a tumble drier - these are the work of the devil. I'd rather wear wet pants ....

The goal is prevent hydration. Cosmolene comes to mind.  If you want an oil based product that is amazing.. Try Ballistol spray.  I use it for storing firearms. Simply amazing.

Brad:

I have to agree with Tony.  Whether it be car parts or complete cars, concrete
sweats and accelerates rust.  Climate controlled storage would be the first
choice but expensive.  For most people wood should be the first choice with
packed dirt your second choice (under roof of course).  If you're going to
store on concrete for an extended period (like you have) I put cheap plywood
down to absorb the moisture.

Tommy might rent you some storage space cheap. :-)

Enjoy,

Ernie

Amici,

We have a bunch of spare engine blocks laying around the shop and I'm
wondering what is the best way to store them.  I normally set them on
a block of wood but I'm wondering if setting them on concrete might
not be better.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Brad

I've got several cans of cosmolene, I think I'll just spray them down
and stack them on end using 2x4s keeping the top and bottom surfaces
off the concrete.

I'll have to look into the Ballistol spray next time I need to order
something like that.

Thanks for all the replies,

Brad

Susan seemed to think the bright colors idea had some merit.
Fortunately it's to cold right now to paint anything so if I hurry and
get them stashed before before the cold spell ends I should be ok :)

If the bores are honed or clean or worthy of keeping as they  are....put 
Marvel Mystery Oil in them(use a thoroughly soaked rag or your hand  and sop 
them good...also the top block surface)....

Hi Mark,
Yes it has been a very good read. Well done Kas.
I have been particularly interested in Chuck Gees Gt6 story, as I am hoping to
have my rebuild of Jack Woerle's old GT6 ready in the spring and it appears we
are on the same track with some of the fit-up. Chuck if you are on the list I
would be very interested if you have any race or track testing results for
your girl?
Merry Christmas to all
Bill Bartlett

I had no idea that Ballistol is used outside of Germany.
I use Ballistol for conservations of a lot of metal things, leather of my
cars seats and so on.
It is different than WD40.

Cheers
Chris

And Merry x-mas

The goal is prevent hydration. Cosmolene comes to mind.  If you want an oil
based product that is amazing.. Try Ballistol spray.  I use it for storing
firearms. Simply amazing.

On my 1970 TR6 vintage road racecar I am installing the 1989 Toyota 4-Runner
calipers. I have a set of high metalic brake pads by PBR part number D252
but I was wondering if any FOT members are aware of heavier duty pad that
will stand up better to road racing?

Hi Walt,

I had CarboTech make up some racing pads for
me.  These calipers were used by lots of Nissan
racers, and there are (or were) several options
out there if you contact some of the brake
experts like Carbotech or Porterfield.

Good luck,
John

I use Carbotech AX6 compound pads with my Toyota calipers.  Work 
great, no fade, easy on the rotors, no melted chunks of brake 
material embedded in the clearcoat on the wheels.

Walt,
You can do what I did and go to your local auto parts store and ask to look
at their Dorman catalog.  You might have to convert to metric sizes in order
to find a good match but that is nothing to worry about.

Walt,

I'm using ARP P/N 100-7708 "12mm x 1.50 Late Model GM/Corvette".  These 
will press into TR6 hubs
without re-drilling the holes and are 3" long.  They are metric so you 
have to use the appropriate metric lugnuts.

I switched from the Carbotech AX6 to their AX10 compound (front only) and  
after 2 weekends I like them.  Supposedly they give better grip when you  
want it at the cost of higher rotor wear.  Since I'm usually pretty easy  
on the brakes I think it's a good tradeoff for when I really really want  
to stop.  Don

there are heaps of metric studs that will press in but i have never found a
direct/correct replacment for the taper seat ones that or found on the rear
of TR6. I beleive the ARP ones suggested are flat baked and are wrong for
the rear . if someone has found the correct taper seat stud, please let us
all know

I was checking out Auto Trader Triumphs this morning and I found this TR4
racecar for sale at F40 Motorsports, home of Chasing classic Cars on HDNET.

"Price collusion alert" We should all agree to raise the value of our racecars
up close to what Wayne Carini thinks they are worth. After all, he's on TV and
an expert. If your TR4 is for sale and in nice shape raise the price to 40K
immediately :) Surely you can get more than you think!

Heck, this looks a lot like mine with different numbers. I will let mine go for 
$54,999 just to undercut Wayne...

I was checking out Auto Trader Triumphs this morning and I found this TR4
racecar for sale at F40 Motorsports, home of Chasing classic Cars on HDNET.

"Price collusion alert" We should all agree to raise the value of our racecars
up close to what Wayne Carini thinks they are worth. After all, he's on TV and
an expert. If your TR4 is for sale and in nice shape raise the price to 40K
immediately :) Surely you can get more than you think!

Come on guys your being a little harsh. I mean look at the numbers. It's a
group 44 car. Thats a small price to pay. This car was obviously driven by
Bob Tullius.
Happy new year FOT!
