Only on 7 cylinders. I thought #2 was the devious one but in fact it was #5 in which idle jet a tiny metal bit blocked the fuel way. The balance bar confused #2 when #5 is off service. With a little jet reamer I cleaned the jet and all 8 are back on service: https://www.instagram.com/p/CUsBIqcID_3/?utm_medium=copy_link Tomorrow....off to Dijon to see how TR8 and TR4 will do.

On the condition that Hass supplied and installed the engine (and left it in the car when Unser was done with the race), Kastner said yes. >> Cameron Neveu >> Unser didn?t perform very well at Ontario Speedway, but the 1400-pound, monocoque racer and its Weber-crowned Chevy 305 have earned its current owner, Mead Korwin, plenty of on-track grins. Leaning back in a folding camping chair, wearing Columbia boots and a denim short-sleeve shirt, Korwin pronounces it: ?Remarkably forgiving. It really is. It?s all torque? It kinda grunts its way out of the corner, you don?t really have to rev it. >> ?Donohue called this model one of the best natural-handling race cars he ever drove.? >> >> Copyright Haggerty Newsletter >> Author: >> Grace Houghton >> 06 October 2021 >> _______________________________________________ >> fot at autox.team.net >> >> http://www.fot-racing.com >> >> Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html >> Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot >> Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/bownes at web9.com >> >> > _______________________________________________ > fot at autox.team.net > > http://www.fot-racing.com > > Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html > Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot > Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/chasgee22 at gmail.com > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have one set of sample Sycro's for the GT6 and Spit transmissions now, they will not fit the early non syncro first gear Spit box. I need a racer to test them in the next 2 weeks, this offer is for Racers only and not street car owners. To qualify you must be a long time Spit racer and mechanic so I can get some experienced feedback. The cash outlay is significant so I can not have a fail on the feedback. Once these have been properly tested I will make an order and will sell them to anyone who has an interest. The big Triumph syncro's will be next up, stay tuned. I need an NOS complete slider assembly (1-2nd or 3-4th), (any) gear and syncro for the TR4-6 to build tooling for the forged steel, heat treated with a carbon friction surface big Triumph syncro's. Does anyone have these parts and be will to part with them? Thanks.

I slept a lot better knowing that the GPS would help find it if the TR6 got scooped up and hauled off. Finding it is important if the prevention devices don?t work. I?m also going to have a big #3 painted on the top of my trailer so the police might see it from above and the thieves probably won?t figure out it?s there.

They were I believe the ones to have for competition use in the 60s/70s. I have some and consider using them at some point. I have 4 in 87mm STD size, and 4 in 87mm+.030'' (but cut just under the pin hole to lighten them). Part numbers engraved on the crown (and casted inside) are 18510 or 18510A. They weigh around 470 grams each (naked, no rings or pins). It seems those Powermax pistons had a special die casting process, to bring them close to the forged pistons in terms of resistance (not sure about this, as it may have been introduced during the production life). Is it a good idea to use those (maybe with a coating) vs modern pistons ? Thank your for your comments !

Had it up at Triumphest this past weekend. Lyman pulled the Baja TR3 from the Petersen last week and we parked together for the Funcours. Lyman has asked me to drive the Baja TR3 in the Kastner this next year so the Car is being switched from its off Road config to a Road Race setup [cid:image006.png at 01D7C694.45932690] [cid:image001.jpg at 01D7C693.5AEF3FC0] Dave Riddle Business IT Consulting Office: 480-610-8234 eMail: dave at microworks.net Website: http://www.microworks.net [cid:image002.png at 01D7C693.5AEF3FC0][cid:image003.png at 01D7C693.5AEF3FC0][cid:image004.png at 01D7C693.5AEF3FC0][cid:image005.png at 01D7C693.5AEF3FC0] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Only on 7 cylinders. I thought #2 was the devious one but in fact it was #5 in which idle jet a tiny metal bit blocked the fuel way. The balance bar confused #2 when #5 is off service. With a little jet reamer I cleaned the jet and all 8 are back on service: https://www.instagram.com/p/CUsBIqcID_3/?utm_medium=copy_link Tomorrow....off to Dijon to see how TR8 and TR4 will do.

I have a set of scuffed Wieseco pistons that could be rescued with a skirt coating and the company says it will work. The coatings can be applied very thick and sometimes provide an interference fit when a device is assembled. During initial operation, the coating breaks in to form a perfect fit between mating parts. Controlled abrasion even accounts for thermal and torque related distortions in components as the coating wears in. Once the optimum fit is achieved, stresses on the coating are reduced and the break-in process stops. Durable, low friction, anti-scuff properties of the coating maintain tighter operating clearances and higher efficiency for the life of the device. https://www.line2linecoatings.com/ Armor Clearance Control? (Armor CC?) For building diametric thickness 0.002" to 0.020" - our hardest skirt coating. Extreme wear resistance provides lasting enlargement of piston skirt dimensions. Recommended for restoring clearances where they have opened up from skirt collapse, wear, clean-up honing or other. Race proven durability in NHRA PRO-MOD.

I had a radiator bottom hose pop off and saw the steam, but by the time I realized I should shut it down I had the damage to just the skirts. Three were scuffed a very minor amount so I saved the set . They've been sitting in a box for years and only now, with this product would I consider using them.

I have one set of sample Sycro's for the GT6 and Spit transmissions now, they will not fit the early non syncro first gear Spit box. I need a racer to test them in the next 2 weeks, this offer is for Racers only and not street car owners. To qualify you must be a long time Spit racer and mechanic so I can get some experienced feedback. The cash outlay is significant so I can not have a fail on the feedback. Once these have been properly tested I will make an order and will sell them to anyone who has an interest. The big Triumph syncro's will be next up, stay tuned. I need an NOS complete slider assembly (1-2nd or 3-4th), (any) gear and syncro for the TR4-6 to build tooling for the forged steel, heat treated with a carbon friction surface big Triumph syncro's. Does anyone have these parts and be will to part with them? Thanks.

I slept a lot better knowing that the GPS would help find it if the TR6 got scooped up and hauled off. Finding it is important if the prevention devices don?t work. I?m also going to have a big #3 painted on the top of my trailer so the police might see it from above and the thieves probably won?t figure out it?s there. Fun to at least THINK it might actually work to recover it.

They were I believe the ones to have for competition use in the 60s/70s. I have some and consider using them at some point. I have 4 in 87mm STD size, and 4 in 87mm+.030'' (but cut just under the pin hole to lighten them). Part numbers engraved on the crown (and casted inside) are 18510 or 18510A. They weigh around 470 grams each (naked, no rings or pins). It seems those Powermax pistons had a special die casting process, to bring them close to the forged pistons in terms of resistance (not sure about this, as it may have been introduced during the production life). Is it a good idea to use those (maybe with a coating) vs modern pistons ? Thank your for your comments !

So I thought they might have been from another British car, and ordered a new set of knockoffs from Moss. They too were too coarse. Can anyone confirm that the early TR3s had a finer thread on their hubs? I would like to keep the car original but may have to swap the hubs to use the nicer knockoffs, or chrome the fine threaded ones. Or just live with the rust!

Those hubs appear to have a finer thread than the later bolt-on adapters. The thread change was concurrent with the switch from integral to bolt-on.

On my early (1956) street TR3 (ex-Mike Jackson) I decided to replace the somewhat rusty wire wheel knockoffs. I had another set of knockoffs (and hubs) from another TR3 in better shape, but the threads were more coarse and didn?t fit. So I thought they might have been from another British car, and ordered a new set of knockoffs from Moss. They too were too coarse. Can anyone confirm that the early TR3s had a finer thread on their hubs? I would like to keep the car original but may have to swap the hubs to use the nicer knockoffs, or chrome the fine threaded ones. Or just live with the rust! Can anyone confirm the early TR3s had finer knockoff threads or is there another possible explanation?

Only on 7 cylinders. I thought #2 was the devious one but in fact it was #5 in which idle jet a tiny metal bit blocked the fuel way. The balance bar confused #2 when #5 is off service. With a little jet reamer I cleaned the jet and all 8 are back on service: https://www.instagram.com/p/CUsBIqcID_3/?utm_medium=copy_link Tomorrow....off to Dijon to see how TR8 and TR4 will do.

I have one set of sample Sycro's for the GT6 and Spit transmissions now, they will not fit the early non syncro first gear Spit box. I need a racer to test them in the next 2 weeks, this offer is for Racers only and not street car owners. To qualify you must be a long time Spit racer and mechanic so I can get some experienced feedback. The cash outlay is significant so I can not have a fail on the feedback. Once these have been properly tested I will make an order and will sell them to anyone who has an interest. The big Triumph syncro's will be next up, stay tuned. I need an NOS complete slider assembly (1-2nd or 3-4th), (any) gear and syncro for the TR4-6 to build tooling for the forged steel, heat treated with a carbon friction surface big Triumph syncro's. Does anyone have these parts and be will to part with them? Thanks.

I slept a lot better knowing that the GPS would help find it if the TR6 got scooped up and hauled off. Finding it is important if the prevention devices don?t work. I?m also going to have a big #3 painted on the top of my trailer so the police might see it from above and the thieves probably won?t figure out it?s there. Fun to at least THINK it might actually work to recover it.

They were I believe the ones to have for competition use in the 60s/70s. I have some and consider using them at some point. I have 4 in 87mm STD size, and 4 in 87mm+.030'' (but cut just under the pin hole to lighten them). Part numbers engraved on the crown (and casted inside) are 18510 or 18510A. They weigh around 470 grams each (naked, no rings or pins). It seems those Powermax pistons had a special die casting process, to bring them close to the forged pistons in terms of resistance (not sure about this, as it may have been introduced during the production life). Is it a good idea to use those (maybe with a coating) vs modern pistons ? Thank your for your comments !

Henry just added me back. I have Bob Schaller's old car that I bought from his widow in July of 1996 after Bob died the previous month. Had a Car fire with it in 2004 andonly got it running again this past July. Not going to "race" the car anymore but it will do a few Track Days every year (I instruct most weekends from Oct to May). Had it up at Triumphest this past weekend. Lyman pulled the Baja TR3 from the Petersen last week and we parked together for the Funcours. Lyman has asked me to drive the Baja TR3 in the Kastner this next year so the Car is being switched from its off Road config to a Road Race setup [cid:image006.png at 01D7C694.45932690] [cid:image001.jpg at 01D7C693.5AEF3FC0] Dave Riddle Business IT Consulting Office: 480-610-8234 eMail: dave at microworks.net Website: http://www.microworks.net [cid:image002.png at 01D7C693.5AEF3FC0][cid:image003.png at 01D7C693.5AEF3FC0][cid:image004.png at 01D7C693.5AEF3FC0][cid:image005.png at 01D7C693.5AEF3FC0] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The ?penny? broke off the ?stick? but I?m not sure if that caused the issue, or an issue caused that. ? The stem was not bent? but is now just a stem! ?Flows just a little too well now! Any experiences with those valves? ?(HRG rules require stock size valves) Thanks,Dave Gott Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
