[Fot] GT6 front uprights-race use

[Gt6steve at aol.com]

Terry, over the years I've talked to lots of TVR guys who are suffering  
much worse than we with their big slicks and higher Horsepowers.  No one  has 
a solution so far.  I drilled and tapped the bottom (Top?) of my oil  
drillings and ran a long socket head cap screw up there putting the whole stub  
into compression.  Don't know if it will help but at least I have a chance  of 
bending before fracture.  No failures in many years now so it clearly  
didn't hurt.
 
I had a rod end conversion here from some Elva racers and it frightened me  
as they had simply macined off all of the threads to fit the rod end.
 
I'm told the early FF's had an undrilled stub but I doubt we'll see any of  
those anymore.
 
We'll keep our eyes open and hope for the best....Steve

thanks  for the replies guys

I've tried canley classics several times and never  had a reply, so i guess
they are either too arrogant or too lazy to get my  business

who is dave pearson and what is his role in these  uprights??

I'm surprised some of the GT6/Spitfire racers have not had  something to  
say

Terry
