To commemorate that milestone, I did some Static cling decals for the inside of glass. Someone suggested that I should do some sticky-back ones as well. So I am considering just that. Some Spitfire Racers might want to decorate their race cars with such a decal during next year's competition. To see the image, go to this web site and scroll down. http://spitlist.info/centercaps.html I can make them as large as 19.5" wide.

Yes , the first Triumph car was introduced in 1923 . But I know how long it takes me to restore a TR ( I own ten ) and they must of had at least a prototype in 1922.

During tech, I met John and spent about 20 minutes talking with him about his motivation and cross-country journey. A very touching story which has inspired thousands of people, including the approximately 3,000 that signed the Austin Healey body during his trip. Once the Healey is rebodied, the original, signed body will be put on display at the Peterson Museum in Los Angeles.

YES, the Simpson has side impact protection that way...I'm gonna order one of the Carbon Fiber ones and a helmet..I also think it will be better in my car because it does not have the high-back extension behind the helmet that may interfere with my cage and head restraint position.I have a 30deg. layback custom seat with-out the full head rest in it...and a tight area due to cage and sidebars,etc...That's my vote based on 'actually' seeing and wearing one...None of the guys in NASCAR or F1 wore them because Simpson just got their SFI approval..Before that,you were stuck with Hans or nothing....Rick In a message dated 11/21/2011 5:38:29 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, donmarshall at nefcom.net writes: My understanding has always been that the HANS protects us in a straight line impact only. I'm no expert, but it seems to me that the problem with using F1, Nascar, etc. as examples of why the HANS is right for us is that their cars provide extra protection from side to side head movement, either by the halo type seat in Nascar or the tight cockpit sides in F1. Our vintage cars don't have anything like that to reduce the side to side head movement we would experience in a non-frontal collision. That's why I was asking about is anyone had any experience with the Simpson Hybrid device, which supposedly has straps that limit the side to side movement as well as the straight ahead movement. Based on the lack of responses, it doesn't appear that anyone on FOT is using one so I might have to be the guinea pig.

The TR6 belongs to Richard Schnyder and was there as the Drive Away Cancer support car. It started after the other cars and carried spares and gave rides to interested parties.

We have a Margay, straight rail, kart for sale (moving to a different class). Straight rail design frame can run both road course and dirt ovals. Frame is straight and shows no signs of serious crash damage - no bends or welds on main frame rails. Kart has a full body, 9 wheels, a few miscellaneous bits and folding, roller stand. Pedals (throttle and brake) have 4 position adjustment to accommodate different height drivers. Seat adjusts fore & aft as well as center or offset mount depending on race circuit.. Rear catch tank, brake disc and sprocket mount are present. It needs brake caliper and master cylinder and engine mount. Normal engine is a 5 hp Briggs flathead or a "clone" 6.5 hp engine. Basic engines are available at Tractor Supply for about $100. If you have never raced a kart you have missed out on a great experience,When you have a blanket of .3 second covering 8 - 10 karts on a 1/7 mile dirt oval (12 second lap times) you are experiencing racing at its best. This is the reason top racers in motorsports either raced karts or still race karts to sharpen their driving skills. Race it yourself or start a young person in the sport. Delivery available if we are headed your way with a space open. Price is $325.00. Thank you for your time and interest.

I used chrome rings in my TR-4 engines and found that lapping them in first saved a lot of breaking time on the dyno and always gave a higher power number and a lot less blowby and early loss of pressure. My system is not fun to do but here is how I did it successfully for lots of years & engines: With the pistons you are going to use fit all the rings making sure to already have the end gap checked. Fit the correct rod. Then lay out four pans that will hold about a quart of your favorite cleaning fluid. ( I used lacquer thinner cause it was there and no one was lighting fires in the shop) Mount the sleeve in a fixture to hold it . (such as easy gripping in the vise) Make up a thin paste of kerosene and Bon-Ami ( yup, the old time cleaning powder) The paste should be about the consistency of cold 50 weight motor oil. Apply a lite coating to the rings of the piston that matches the sleeve in the vise, and a lite smear to the bore of the sleeve Fit your ring compressor to the rings just as normal. Fit the piston into the sleeve and give it ten strokes , one up and two down and so on. Remove the assembly from the sleeve, carefully remove the compressor and ABOVE ALL, DO NOT TAKE ANY OF THE RINGS OFF THE PISTON. DO NOT DISTURB THE RINGS. In the first pan of cleaner use a small paint brush to start cleaning the paste off the piston and the rings. After the worst is removed go to the second pan, DO NOT TRY TO MOVE THE RINGS. Work with a brush again to clear the paste residue. Now go to the third pan and very carefully by gripping the ring away from the ends move it slightly and a little more and a little with the head of the piston submerged in the liquid more until the ring is free to turn easily. Do one ring at a time, this is not the time to be lazy. On the the last pan of fresh cleaner. Move the rings as above several rotations on the pistons making sure there is no gritty feeling. Now that the pain part is over, wash in hot soapy water and blow dry and immediately coat with WD-40 or similar type oil. Do not try to remove or bend the rings or pull on the ends. You will see a fine grey line on the top edge of the rings showing that they indeed are lapped into the bore. Not only that the rings are ROUND. (keeping them round after the lapping is why you don't want to carelessly try to move them too soon while cleaning.) Wash the sleeve in the same manner, you can eliminate a couple of the cleaning steps as there is no finesse involved,. Finish though with soapy water and blow dry and coat with lite oil. Both the piston assembly and the sleeve should be immediately put into a plastic bag or sack to keep clean and dust free until time of assembly. Remember each piston has it's own sleeve and should not be changed out to another part. Clean the ring compressor some before starting on the second piston assembly. When fitting to the engine just a lite oil on the rings and bore, finish up and stand on the gas after about four or five minutes. Done in this manner my rings lasted longer than any other method and gave the best perforce all round. I did make up a torquing plate for the dry blocks and did everything in much the same manner. My torquing plate was made of 1" thick mild steel. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Babcock" To: "Joe Curry" ; ; Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 3:47 PM Subject: RE: 86 MM Chromium Rings-Help > They can be great if you install and break them in correctly.

Its fenders were rusted, the floorpan had holes The seats and the carpets had been eaten by voles The tires had dry-rot, the gas tank was leaking A turn of the wheel sent tie rods a-creaking. So I put on my coat with a weight on my heart, And went out to the shed to get it to start. The engine turned over--there arose such a clatter! I knew from the sound it was timing chain chatter. >From under the dashboard there came a bright flash: The wiring harness had just turned to ash! "I've had it with Triumphs!" I finally swore "Enough is too much! I can't take any more!" When what to my red, teary eyes should appear But a little Englishman (hey, I might need a beer!) "Good Day," I heard, as he tapped my shoulder. "Ibm Joe Lucasb he said as the car continued to smolder. "This one can be saved; there's no reason to grieve. All you need is some faith--Man, youbve got to believe! "A hammer! Some duct tape! Get me more tools! When you work on these cars, just make up the rules! We'll get her cranked over - no way that she'll stall (But stand over there with your back to the wall.)" A cough and a sputter, the cacophony stunning-- I couldn't believe it! The damn thing was running! The ghost winked at me and said, kicking a tire, "Whatever you do, DO NOT TOUCH THIS WIRE!" The old man then vanished amid sneezes and farts But when the smoke cleared he had left me some parts. So I opened the shed door and let the top down Put pedal to metal and went out on the town. And I thought to myself as I missed second gear Merry Christmas to All and a Happy New Year! Merry Christmas everyone!

Gary B The Night Before Christmas 'Twas the night before Christmas and out in the shed Sat a tired old Triumph, its battery dead. Its fenders were rusted, the floorpan had holes The seats and the carpets had been eaten by voles The tires had dry-rot, the gas tank was leaking A turn of the wheel sent tie rods a-creaking. So I put on my coat with a weight on my heart, And went out to the shed to get it to start. The engine turned over--there arose such a clatter! I knew from the sound it was timing chain chatter. >From under the dashboard there came a bright flash: The wiring harness had just turned to ash! "I've had it with Triumphs!" I finally swore "Enough is too much! I can't take any more!" When what to my red, teary eyes should appear But a little Englishman (hey, I might need a beer!) "Good Day," I heard, as he tapped my shoulder. "Im Joe Lucas he said as the car continued to smolder. "This one can be saved; there's no reason to grieve. All you need is some faith--Man, you've got to believe! "A hammer! Some duct tape! Get me more tools! When you work on these cars you just make up the rules! "We'll get her cranked over - no way that she'll stall (But stand over there with your back to the wall.)" A cough and a sputter, the cacophony stunning-- I couldn't believe it! The damn thing was running! The ghost winked at me and said, kicking a tire, "Whatever you do, DO NOT TOUCH THIS WIRE!" The old man then vanished amid sneezes and farts But when the smoke cleared he had left me some parts. So I opened the shed door and let the hood down Put her in gear and went out on the town. And I thought to myself as I missed second gear Merry Christmas to All and a Happy New Year!

Don't know much about your car other than what has been said here, but I am interested for sure. Tell me how vintage it is or isn't so I can judge how vintage it is etc. Sort of prophetic that you're selling a white #4 square tail just as mine to a beating and is toast I guess.

You can check out the artwork for the front of the shirt here http://tiny.cc/zi18c . We are doing the back of the shirt also. The back of the shirt will have each FOT drivers name, car type and car number that is competing that weekend silk screened onto it. Should make for a neat remembrance for the event. Shirts will be 100% cotton and ash grey in color. With the complexity of the artwork and the fact that we are silk screening the back the price we are looking at is $14 +/- about $2 each for all sizes up to XL and a little additional for shirts XXL and up. . I say +/- because pricing is dependent on how many we sell. Final pricing will be posted once all orders are received. Order cutoff date will be March 17th 2012 with the intention to start mailing shirts out the first week in April so you will have them prior to the Mitty. I would appreciate it if most of you could take advantage of the mailing option. Shirts will be available for handing out at the track but the more we can mail out the less time I will have to be tied up at the track. Shirts will be by pre-order only. Here is how ordering will take place. You will email me with how many shirts you want, what sizes, and what your address is and a contact phone number. I will compile the order and pass on a spread sheet to Ted Schumacher (TS Imported Automotive) who is having the shirts printed. At that point in time I will post on the list that the order has been placed and it will be up to each of you to contact Ted and arrange payment. I did my last two FOT shirt order projects this way and it worked out fine. These shirts will NOT be restricted to FOT members this time in order to drive down cost. So, if you know of any Triumph fanatics that would be interested please forward on this info. I need FOT driver info! If you think there is any chance you will competing at the 2012 Mitty please email me your name, car, and car number so it can be included on the back of the shirts. I would rather have your name on the shirt and you not show up than you be there and not have your name on the shirt.

Having driver's names on the shirts is a great idea and appreciated. Thanks to Steve Belfer for doing the artwork for the poster and the shirt. Please submit your driver names to Marty very quickly as we will using this information for planning and budgeting purposes. Please order your shirts early as it works far better to distribute shirts prior to, and during the event than after the fact.

I found mine back in the '60s sometime! You could probably have any machine shop make them. Them you mount it with the holes at the bottom. Lowers the car just that little bit more. the aluminum pieces are not really a press fit, but not "loose" either. They will rotate easily in the diff which helps in installation. I usually grease them to help in that installation. --Rocky Entriken. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Bock" To: "FoTTriumph" Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2011 5:02 PM Subject: [Fot] Gt6/spit diff question > Are the rubber bushings at the back end of the diff where it mounts to the > frame upright replaced for racing?

If this increases the differential between the driveshaft/u-joint angles front to rear, it will result in more vibration at high speeds, which I've found to be an issue with at my car at speeds above 100-110. Ideally the diff and trans are at the same angle to the driveshaft, and/or their axes are parallel. They're not the same in my car, but I've tried to manipulate mountings to get them as close as possible with a resulting decrease in vibration.

Half an inch? They've been in my car some 40-odd years now! Originally when it was a street car, now as a race car. Never had any vibration issue with them. (Speed traps at Road America caught me at 100-plus at the Runoffs last September, no vibration). In fact, some 20 years ago we re-mounted the diff even higher by making new mounting holes in the frame to push it up as high as space allowed, maybe another inch. Still no issues. That's what U-joints are for. :-) The change in the angle is minimal, and the change at the front of the diff is zero because the front mountings are in the same place. At least, that's my experience with them. --Rocky ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Janzen" To: "Christopher Bock" Cc: "FoTTriumph" Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2011 10:50 PM Subject: Re: [Fot] Gt6/spit diff question > you might want to check driveshaft angles before you offset bushings to > change the height and angle of the diff. > If this increases the differential between the driveshaft/u-joint angles > front to rear, it will result in more vibration at high speeds, which I've > found to be an issue with at my car at speeds above 100-110.

All I can tell you is that the difference in the angles in my car is beyond the limit of what the driveshaft experts recommend, and making a few adjustments (trans tail mount height, etc) reduced the vibration - yes, i've had the driveshaft balanced by a good shop. 1/2 an inch relative to the distance from the front to rear mounts works out to over 2 degrees, and Spicer recommends not more than three degrees total deflection as optimum for u-joint wear and not more than 1 degree difference between the front and rear. Not to say it won't work at greater angles, but it all makes a difference. On Dec 29, 2011, at 6:52 PM, Rocky Entriken wrote: My offset bushings move the hole, what? Half an inch? They've been in my car some 40-odd years now! Originally when it was a street car, now as a race car. Never had any vibration issue with them. (Speed traps at Road America caught me at 100-plus at the Runoffs last September, no vibration). In fact, some 20 years ago we re-mounted the diff even higher by making new mounting holes in the frame to push it up as high as space allowed, maybe another inch. Still no issues. That's what U-joints are for. :-) The change in the angle is minimal, and the change at the front of the diff is zero because the front mountings are in the same place. At least, that's my experience with them. --Rocky ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Janzen" To: "Christopher Bock" Cc: "FoTTriumph" Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2011 10:50 PM Subject: Re: [Fot] Gt6/spit diff question > you might want to check driveshaft angles before you offset bushings to change the height and angle of the diff. > If this increases the differential between the driveshaft/u-joint angles front to rear, it will result in more vibration at high speeds, which I've found to be an issue with at my car at speeds above 100-110. Ideally the diff and trans are at the same angle to the driveshaft, and/or their axes are parallel.
