Looking at the Roster for the PVGP it looks like we are the only Car so far coming from the west side of the Country and that there are just 20 Cars in the Kastner Cup.  Anyone else coming that has not yet signed up?

I'll be there likely with one car leaving from San Francisco Bay Area.  I have a two car trailer, if someone needs transportation.

Message-ID: <CAMhWR9XHcwJL_fSczGp=e6pWMz90Oad28oRwL3+7W13_Tpuoig@mail.gmail.com>

I?d like to nominate Alex Schlesinger to this group. I met Alex at the
Spring Break Driving School put on by VSCDA at Gingerman last weekend.
The 1977 TR7 Alex just finished restoring was raced by his grandpa Chuck
Shapiro for 20 years with SCCA before garaging the car.  Alex grew up at
racetracks watching his grandpa and developed a love of all things Triumph.
Alex lives in Grand Rapids, MI 10 minutes from Gratten. Lucky guy.
His email is aschlesinger at cleanplanetrecycling.com
Could I please get a few votes to bring this great young guy into the group.
Thanks,
Dave Amys

Apparently, old habits die really hard...

We are winding up the cleanup of the inactive email addresses, and the
tally is impressive. Look for the final numbers soon. As we worked
through the process, we gave a lot of thought on how to keep better
track of the membership. We realized we need to do an annual roll call
and clarify the process we use to add new members.

While the "we don?t have any rules" thing has worked well for 25 years,
we are tweaking the process we use to add members. This is pretty much
how our self-policing group has been doing it, we just never put words
to the process because we didn?t need to.  And for the record, we are
calling this a "guideline", not a rule!

As opposed to the nomination process we have been using, we will use a
"sponsorship" process going forward.

First, we have the designations. All FOT members now fall into one of
two categories. Drivers or Crew. Drivers are active and former drivers
who turn (or have turned) the steering wheel in sanctioned competition
in a Triumph or Triumph powered race car. Anyone not falling into that
category will now be referred to as Crew.

Only Drivers can sponsor new members. If the new member is an active or
former driver, it's a done deal, we have a new FOT member. No seconds
needed, we are counting on our existing Driver members to vet the new
folks they sponsor. If a Driver wants to sponsor someone who is not
another driver, i.e. become part of the FOT Crew, or someone who is
actively on the path to becoming a driver in a Triumph they should
submit that request to our membership committee through me.

We think this clarification makes sense to keep our membership on point
and strong. The FOT is proudly keeping Triumphs on track and relevant!

Hi Henry,
I was introduced to the group by Tony Drews a month or so ago.
I receive all the interaction and emails between the guys.
I wrote a little response this morning about my car and previous
owners Don Brick and Ken Suhre....It wasn't posted because it was
waiting authorization from the keeper of the group. Is that you?
Anyway I thought I should introduce myself to you.
Thanks
Brian McEldowney

Brian, your e-mail this morning came from a different e-mail address 
(ends with icloud.com instead of msn.com) - that's why it was rejected.


Henry isn't the list admin - that's Mark Bradakis who chimes in 
occasionally.


The list is restricted by e-mail address, so using an alternate one is a 
problem unless we get that alternate one registered too.


Regards, Tony

Subject: [Fot] RIP - Don Brick
Message-ID: <3a96a637609eb878a9e04c50f18d0060@tr4racer.com>

Responding to Brian McEldowney, the new owner of the Don Brick TR4, 
prompted me to do a google search. I just realized we lost Don six weeks 
ago on March 27, 2022.

The last of the original Beady Eye gang. Sad.

While the stories of the shenanigans Bill, Bob and Don got into are the 
stuff of legend, there is one story about Don I will never forget.

More years ago that I care to admit, I am beginner racer who bought a 
derelict TR4 racecar and was trying desperately to figure out how to 
prepare it so it would finish weekends, and more importantly trying to 
figure out the art and science of race craft. I show up at Grattan for 
the first time, and I am not sure I can say I was struggling, but the 
Beady Eye boys thought I needed a primer on the track. VSCDA had a 
practice of doing lunch time parade laps at Grattan, so they cooked up 
the idea that I needed to get driven around the track by their resident 
hot shoe, Don Brick. Yes, Don was the fastest of the bunch.

These parade laps were done in race cars, and the premise was the racers 
could put their family, friends, crew, etc. in the passenger seat to get 
a birds eye view of the track. No passing, just some leisurely laps. 
Apparently, Don didn?t get the memo... Don and I climb into his TR4, my 
memory is telling me we had no fire suits or helmets, and proceed to the 
false grid. We are waived onto the track, and Don nails it. We get 
decent speed for turn one, and Don is narrating. "This is where I 
usually have to brake, but since we are not at speed yet...", he brakes 
late, turns into 1 with tires at full chat. We slide around turn one, 
and on the little straight heading for 2, we come up on the first car 
doing parade lap speed, Don just passes them! At this point, Don is at 
racing speed, and he continues to narrate his way around the course 
passing everybody. As we round the corner for the start/finish straight, 
the flagger is waiting for us, and no surprise to me Don gets black 
flagged. As we are going down the straight for turn 1, I tell Don I 
don't think we are supposed to be going full tilt, everybody else is 
going much slower. Don was not deterred, he needed to show me his 
braking point for turn 1 at speed! We proceeded to do that second lap 
way too fast, then Don dutifully pulled into pit lane and was directed 
to the black flag station where he was given the stern warning that 
lunchtime parade laps were not to be driven at speed. Don's reply with a 
smile, "Oh, OK, I didn't know."

Anybody else remember running with Don and watching his red wire wheels? 
Don insisted on running that same set of red painted wire wheels. He 
claimed he finally got a set of wheels that didn't break spokes, so he 
just kept running them. It was disconcerting to see Don in the seat 
sawing on the steering wheel, and you could see the hubs on the car 
moving with his motions, but the rim and tires couldn't keep up the 
hubs, you could almost see the spokes stretching with every turn of the 
steering wheel!

Farewell, my friend.

 Don, Bob and Bill exemplified the spirit of vintage racing to the Nth degree. I sure had fun dicing with them on the race courses and joining in their paddock parties. Don always brought the best Wisconsin cheeses. I'd love to see all three cars back on the track at the same time. Every one who knows me knows I was pestering them in my Morris Mini most of the time.

Sad news but we're all getting older and that crew had a head start.? Surely they will live on in legend with the endless stories repeated over and over.
It's not clear that vintage racing will ever again have characters like that.
?
It was always such a thrill to be with the Beady Eye guys each year at Mid-Ohio.? Nearly 20 straight years under the big oak tree in the grass paddock.
Truth be told, Don was a much better driver than Bob and Bill.? But, with those wire wheels and skinny tires he was only going to corner? so fast and hence not lead often.
?
Don worked for a cheese factory and always brought some of the stuff they produced for cheese contests.? Who ever knew there was such a thing?
?
I tried to? talk Don out of retiring from racing in his last year of competition.? Wiz and Bill wanted him to continue as well but he wasnt gonna change his mind.
?
It is great to? know that his car will continue to be used and run!? So many others just disappear.? One of my best friends to this day, John Harkness, lived quite close to Mid-O ran a baby? blue TR3 to great success.? He eventually sold his and we saw it entered in a race or two and then never again.? So sad, that thing flew and we had many great races.? This is my 35th year with my TR3.? We can only hope that when its my time to retire that someone will get it and love it as does Henry with Dentinger's car.
?
Say - does everyone know where the Beady Eye name comes? from?? Bill owned a stone masonry contracting company? and did work on many iconic buildings in the Milwaukee area.? The name of the company was BDI - Bill Dentinger Inc

 Don always had a smile. One of the greats.

The last of the original Beady Eye gang. Sad.

While the stories of the shenanigans Bill, Bob and Don got into are the stuff of legend, there is one story about Don I will never forget.
?
More years ago that I care to admit, I am beginner racer who bought a derelict TR4 racecar and was trying desperately to figure out how to prepare it so it would finish weekends, and more importantly trying to figure out the art and science of race craft. I show up at Grattan for the first time, and I am not sure I can say I was struggling, but the Beady Eye boys thought I needed a primer on the track. VSCDA had a practice of doing lunch time parade laps at Grattan, so they cooked up the idea that I needed to get driven around the track by their resident hot shoe, Don Brick. Yes, Don was the fastest of the bunch.
?
These parade laps were done in race cars, and the premise was the racers could put their family, friends, crew, etc. in the passenger seat to get a birds eye view of the track. No passing, just some leisurely laps. Apparently, Don didn?t get the memo... Don and I climb into his TR4, my memory is telling me we had no fire suits or helmets, and proceed to the false grid. We are waived onto the track, and Don nails it. We get decent speed for turn one, and Don is narrating. "This is where I usually have to brake, but since we are not at speed yet...", he brakes late, turns into 1 with tires at full chat. We slide around turn one, and on the little straight heading for 2, we come up on the first car doing parade lap speed, Don just passes them! At this point, Don is at racing speed, and he continues to narrate his way around the course passing everybody. As we round the corner for the start/finish straight, the flagger is waiting for us, and no surprise to me Don gets black flagged. As we are going down the straight for turn 1, I tell Don I don't think we are supposed to be going full tilt, everybody else is going much slower. Don was not deterred, he needed to show me his braking point for turn 1 at speed! We proceeded to do that second lap way too fast, then Don dutifully pulled into pit lane and was directed to the black flag station where he was given the stern warning that lunchtime parade laps were not to be driven at speed. Don's reply with a smile, "Oh, OK, I didn't know."
?
Anybody else remember running with Don and watching his red wire wheels? Don insisted on running that same set of red painted wire wheels. He claimed he finally got a set of wheels that didn't break spokes, so he just kept running them. It was disconcerting to see Don in the seat sawing on the steering wheel, and you could see the hubs on the car moving with his motions, but the rim and tires couldn't keep up the hubs, you could almost see the spokes stretching with every turn of the steering wheel!
?
Farewell, my friend.

 I saw Don race a few times, fun stuff. He knew how to "wheel" a car.

Regarding the former Harkness car, it was purchased by Rich Bolton and he ran it for around 2 years but wound up getting side-tracked with his kids racing karts and his 50-foot yawl(!) - when I last checked in NOV 21, the Harkness was in a barn in Northern VT waiting for a new owner.
I'm pretty sure it's still there as well as all the pieces to make it whole again.

Don was a very nice guy with a room brightening smile!  My dad built an engine for Don?s 4 as well as ironed out the rear axle hop with some special links and bars to the rear axle. The car was pretty unreliable and unsafe before the upgrades.  My dad, Mike, really enjoyed being with Don, Bill, and Bob, and was their de facto crew chief. 

Don once gave me a terrible T-shirt that said , It?s better with butter.  And he took me aside to impart onto me a dairy trade secret that I shall pass in to you.  Award winning Swiss cheese should have holes no smaller than a dime and no bigger than a nickel.  

Race in peace, Don

Hey all,

Many of you know that I've been working on putting my dad's old GT6 racer back on track.  Well, "working on" is a strong way of putting it.  Little progress for some time, as I've been really, really distracted by racing the Spec Racer Ford since my Spit Racer met its demise.

Dad took the old GT6 Mk I apart to change it over to a rotoflex car from a swing axle car.  Great idea, but he started with a Mk III frame that I had lying around and even though it's really supposed to be pretty similar it's just not in some ways.

So Tim Hutchisen's got a good GT6+ frame, which should be a better place to start.  But it needs to get from Henry's place in Connecticut to my place in Wisconsin.  Anybody heading in the right direction with room for a GT6 frame?

Scott (B.)

Choices, choices...

We are still working out the logistics of all this, but in theory Tim 
and I should be able to get the GT6+ frame to the Kastner Cup in 
Pittsburgh. Can somebody fit the frame in their race rig for a 
Pittsburgh to the Midwest hop?

Subject: [Fot] Historic Race Group is 25 years old today
Message-ID: <CAO0FjVZ1NKWhpLB2vFt-FtVvSXud2hMNZf2kvJqtRZ2EAUA9pQ@mail.gmail.com>

FYI, quite a few FOTers race with us.

On May 10, 1997 the predecessor of HRG,  the Volvo Historic Series, held
it's first race. 10 cars took the green flag at the SCCA's Northern New
Jersey Region race weekend at Pocono
[image: 1st race may 10 1997.jpg]

This event was the culmination of a year's hard work by NNJR members Tom
Lynch and Dave Panas after Tom was contacted by Volvo in 1996. Volvo wanted
to sponsor a vintage racing series but didn't have the expertise to
actually run one. Tom and Dave, working with the SCCA, created the
particular rule set, as well as the championship structure, needed to allow
older cars to race under the umbrella of the SCCA.

In the first year, the VHS group had 5 races held at Pocono, Lime Rock and
Bridgehampton. The 1st race, and the first championship were won by a Volvo
P1800, driven by Duane Matejka.


With Volvo sponsorship, the series rapidly grew. Fields of 50 cars at the
larger tracks (now including Watkins Glen, Bryar, and Nelson Ledges) were
common. We also expanded into supporting professional (ALMS, NASCAR, ARCA)
races around the Northeast US.
[image: VHS - Lime Rock - July 2001 - 2 022.jpg]

In 2003, with a downturn in the economy, Volvo had to withdraw from
sponsorship but the series continued. We were re-charted as HRG, again by
the SCCA, under the direction of the North East Division where we continue
to race today.

The full story is on our website, HRG @ 25
<https://historicracinggroup.com/25-anniversary.php> .

HRG's drivers would like to thank everyone involved, from the officials,
track workers, families and crew for supporting us over the past 25 years.
I'd like to thank the drivers for the dedication and commitment it takes to
keep these great cars, not just running, but competing at the
highest levels of sportsmanship and camaraderie.

The cars make it cool, the people make it great.

Interestingly (to me at least), that red/white stripe P1800 on the front rows of those pictures is the car now owned by our friend Jim Perry, who some of you in the Midwest have raced against in recent years.  Good guy, quick car.

I maybe interested in your fenders for the 3 & 6. I have a couple project that those could be useful. 

How much are you want for them and what condition are they in?

FOT:


We need a golf car just for the duration of the running of the Kastner Cup Race. We are talking about 90 minutes. Pre-Race to Post-Race.

Can anyone help?   This will avoid a large rental fee for the FOT.

Thank you very much.

My Jefferson 500 weekend has been cut short by a broken crankshaft key. Post break inspection in the paddock shows some weird stuff going on.  The key itself only engaged into the crank sprocket for a length of about 3/16 to 1/4 inch.  It is at this point where it sheared off. The crank is a NOS Moldex that was made probably 25 years ago. I installed it a couple of years ago, it probably has 3 race events on it. When I look at the location of the keyway in the Moldex crank and compare it to a stock Spitfire 1296 crank it looks like the keyway has been machined about 1/4 inch forward on the Moldex. I did not pay any attention to this upon assembly, never gave it a thought. This did not allow for enough engagement into the crank sprocket me thinks. My thoughts are to have a new keyway machined into the crank farther back.  Has anybody else seen anything like this?  The Jefferson 500 was not kind to Spitfires. 3 for 3 went down for the count due to issues.

I had the pleasure to meet the Jeff King, the son of Paul King while 
helping out at the VRG drivers school this weekend. Jeff earned his 
provisional racing license last week and ran most of the Jefferson 500, 
until what we think is the gearbox let him down.

I am pleased to sponsor Jeff King to our group, Jeff will be seen 
competing in events in the northeast in the King screaming yellow GT6. 
We are hoping to find the bits needed to get the car back in shape for 
Thompson next month.

Please give a warm welcome to our newest member!

Hey Jason,
It was great meeting you too and very fun learning the line behind you at
Summit Point last week!
That's a great track and can't wait to get back on it.

I'm looking forward to meeting the other FOT members as well.
Many thanks to Henry for sponsoring me to FOT, it will be a great resource
to help me learn about the GT6.

Looking forward to getting another gearbox with a usable third gear and
we'll have it back in action for Thompson in June!

Kind Regards,
Jeff King

Henry is too modest to mention he won ALL of his group races with stiff compition from a 914? best racing of the event in my opinion.  Me, broken lifter, 2 push rods bent, cam degree moved, FedX, new parts, John and Billy up to 1:00 Friday and Sat, and after their great efforts to get the TR3 running like new the overdrive quit leaving me out of revs at the finish line on front straight?.BUT all that and it was a great event giving most of us plenty of track time on wet and dry tracks.. To top it all off, I, for the first time, did a full hour enduro.  Cheers!

PayPal.  N197tr4 at cs.com. Or check to address below.

I would like to post all at once at the end of the month. Efficiencies.

It was another great weekend at the track, and yes, I was motivated by a 
very well driven 914. But John is burying the lead here, driving a full 
enduro is tough. And when our resident octogenarian does it, that is 
beyond amazing! You are my hero, John!

Our big bore group had a fantastic showing, pitting our TR4's, GT6's, 
TR250 and TR6 against some stiff competition from Germany, Italy, Japan 
and Britain. And some not so stiff competition in the form of a dozen or 
so Miatas! The weather played a part on Friday with us qualifying in the 
wet, somehow I qualified 4th. The first race put a pair of Miatas on the 
front row, as soon as the track dried a bit during the second half of 
the race they were dispatched with and it was the 250 and rainmiester 
Wheatley sitting on the front row for Saturday morning race. In the 
afternoon feature race, the leaders set a blistering pace by lapping all 
but 7 cars, and four of the cars on the lead lap were Triumphs! The 
TR250 prevailed in an entertaining battle with a the aforementioned 914, 
Mike Moore took third, Scott Janzen fourth, and Mark Wheatley sixth. 
Jason Sukey had a really strong run, as did Mike Kurtz who is doing a 
great job finding the feel for his TR6.

One particularly interesting moment occurred late in the race when I 
experienced a traffic jam in the carousel. We were coming up through 
lapped traffic as we approached the carousel.

Spoiler alert, it has a happy ending. Triumph torque rules...

If it holds together through Mosport hopefully I will have something 
left for the Kastner Cup in July!!!

Jeff, I have steel syncro's for the transmission as long as you have a large syncro gearbox.

Hey Rick,
That's great, thanks for letting me know that's an option!

My dad and I will have the gearbox out tonight and can check which version
it is.  It was hard to read the stamping while it was still attached.   But
we did confirm I broke it when we drained it last night and a bunch of
large chucks of metal came out with the oil.

Our preferred option for Thompson in June is to find another GT6 box to
swap with, perhaps a little riskier since it will potentially have issues
too unless previously gone through but that's our current plan.

Thanks very much and I'll keep you posted.

Regards,
Jeff & Paul King

I have a 1967 Morgan 4/4 with the Ford 1600 engine (crossflow).? I'm planning a rebuild with performance upgrades over the winter.? One of the performance modifications I would like to make is a switch to 2 Weber 40 DCOE carburetors and manifold.
Does anyone know where I might find a used set of these carburetors for sale, in good operable condition.? I'd also like to find a manifold.? I don't know if this carburetor set-up was ever used on the Ford 1600 crossflow engine, so I may have to modify a manifold to fit.
I would appreciate leads that anyone can give me in this search.? Thanks.

Bob?- don?t know what kind of adjuster it is? got it from Moss years ago?. The one with a blue center plate.  Fortunately John had marked it and just had to adjust back to his mark.

 Nor Formula Fords, they have single downdraft Weber.
However, my Lotus Super Seven has twin Weber DCOEs on Ford crossflow, so these manifolds do exist...

Nor Formula Fords, they have single downdraft Weber.

However, my Lotus Super Seven has twin Weber DCOEs on Ford crossflow, so these manifolds do exist...

Did Formula Fords or Spec Racer Fords run that setup? Might be worth looking into.

I have a 1967 Morgan 4/4 with the Ford 1600 engine (crossflow).  I'm planning a rebuild with performance upgrades over the winter.  One of the performance modifications I would like to make is a switch to 2 Weber 40 DCOE carburetors and manifold.



Does anyone know where I might find a used set of these carburetors for sale, in good operable condition.  I'd also like to find a manifold.  I don't know if this carburetor set-up was ever used on the Ford 1600 crossflow engine, so I may have to modify a manifold to fit.



I would appreciate leads that anyone can give me in this search.  Thanks.

Just a quick reminder.   We are honoring our late local Triumph Pilots with VSCDA.

Details can be found with the VSCDA Website.

WE ARE HAVING A SPECIAL ALL TRIUMPH RACE.

So far:

Kas Kastner
Bill Dentinger
Jack Drew?s
Bob Wismer
Don Brick
Jerry Barr
Jim Hill

Am I missing anyone?   

We will be having an informal gathering sometime during the weekend.  The last time I checked, we had 15 or more Triumphs that were planning on racing.  We have a lot of good memories with these guys. Me personally, since 1990. Wonderful Friends.

Hope you Triumph guys can make it.

FOT:

So far 13 Posters have been spoken for.

The FOT has never ceased to amaze me. Some unsolicited donations came in, along with the orders.

We are scrambling a bit for funding, but we will get it done. Instead of a Golf Car for The Grand Marshall, Bob Johns, at $500, Lorne Fritz is bringing a Spitfire inspired pit buggy. This should be fun.

Anyway, if you are not coming and want a collectible poster, I will be shipping in a nice new tube.

Joe, I am waiting for a response from WPTA on their participation in
getting Mr John's around the track. They were meetings this last weekend. I
have requested a TR2 or TR3 but the pit buggy would be interesting too.

FOT.   So you are not coming but you want to continue to collect the series?

ORDER NOW.

Funds will be used to support the Kastner Cup Expenses. No big sponsor stepped up this year, so Curt is scrambling on the budget, a bit.

$15 total for poster, postage, and packaging.
$7.50 for each additional poster.

PayPal.  N197tr4 at cs.com. Or check to address below.

I would like to post all at once at the end of the month. Efficiencies.

Hi friends.
I am rebuilding a Toyota T 50 trans for my GT6 and am in need of some "no
longer available" bearings. Apparently there are at least two styles of
T50s and mine is the one with 18x62 mm input shaft bearing. Don't know why
it makes a difference but apparently that transmission is tough to find
parts for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
                    Thanks. P.J.

Hi Jay,
       The policy I found for PVGP stated:



*Refund PolicyYour race entry will be fully refunded if you notify
the Event Chairman <kenmurin at parkerplasticscorp.com> or Registrar
<jrporsche at comcast.net> before your tires hit the track on Friday morning.
If your car breaks during Test & Tune your weekend race entry fee will be
refunded, but not your Test & Tune fee.*

I hope you can make it!

Don't know why it makes a difference but apparently that transmission is tough to find parts for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Thanks.

Hello FOT,  

Today was advertised as the last day for discounted registration to the 2022 Kastner Cup at Pitt Race in July.  I work to deadlines so I registered today, but the price was $50 higher which was indented to start tomorrow.  I you had this problem too, please send me a message and I'll touch base with the PVGP folks.  But please, still do register today if you can. 

You can find the registration link and more at the permanent Kastner Cup site at this link: Kastner Cup 2022 | Official site of the annual Kastner Cup all Triumph race https://kastnercup.com/ .

Be sure to pay the additional charge for the Kastner Cup race.

Keeping in mind, of course, that most of the race entry fees go to charity- PVGP donated $340k last year to the Pittsburgh autism society and to the Merakey Allegheny Valley school- https://avs.merakey.org/

Subject: [Fot] Road America SVRA  May Race
Message-ID: <67c68d27f83498.e6efe027941ce@wi.rr.com>

This last weekend at the SVRA event at Road American, the Triumph banner was carried by my son Daniel and his GT6, the only Triumph to show up. This was his first full event with the car, the first outing (last years May event) ending early when a race prepared stock connecting rod failed. 
Thursday?s test and tune day was very useful getting the carbs sorted out. They still need some adjustments but the car ran great for the rest of the weekend. Unfortunately Friday was a rain out. Saturday despite having really bad tires, he was able to qualify first in his class, ahead of 4 big Healeys and finished the first feature race third in class. Sunday?s feature race found him finishing second in class on the bad tires!
Despite the good results in competition on the track, his best on track performance was during the last session of the day on Thursday. On pregrid we painted ?Sarah will U marry me? on the side of his GT6 so she could read it from her vantage point at turn 5. After about 3 laps he pulled off the track at the corner 5 escape road and drove over to Sarah and took a knee.

Pittsburgs Airport. Look up a room at the Cranberry area. I79 and PA 
Turnpike Interchange. Lots of choices and close to the track. There's an 
Interstate that goes from the airport north to the Turnpike (Old Rt 
60?). The track is on Rt18, about 6 miles of the Turnpike interchange.

Easy to get around the area. Just DON'T go into the 'Burgh! Rather 
confusing.

Cheers, Bill

I'm selling the Ford T9 5 speed conversion kit out of my GT6, as I've
converted to a TR6 box.

Includes a functioning 5 speed box
Bellhousing and adapter
Mounts
Driveshaft
Shifter
Clutch
 etc

The full conversion kit, ready to run minus the speedo cable; so if you
plan to use it in a street car, you will need to source that.

Asking $2500

Free delivery to Kastner Cup at Pittrace, or pick up in Amherst, Ohio
anytime.

 gear ratios for the TR6 box are better and better still with the dolomite sprint gear set.

Basically what Bob said :)

Nothing wrong with the T9 5 speed conversion, but it wasn't the right setup
for me.

OD 5th wasn't much use to me in a GT6 that revs 7,500ish rpm- plus the TR6
close ratio (Sprint) gears are super attractive!  Maybe someday the close
ratio gearset will be back in stock at Rimmers and I'll get to try
them....but till then, I'm loving the standard TR6 box in the racer.  I've
also been using a standard TR6 box in my street GT6 for a couple of decades
with great results.

Message-ID: <9972714A-9B3C-411A-9B54-BCFC2F8B2A2D@gmail.com>

Friends,

Just officially welcomed our 22yr old Son into world of Triumph ownership this weekend w/ a ?66 TR4A that we found here in  Florida!  He has wanted one for a long time.

Car is a strong runner, re-doing brakes and suspension and chasing down some other items.  Have already done searches on ebay & Triumph Experience.  He is just out of college, so he is going route of a nice maintained driver car, not restored, just good quality/condition used parts. 

Looking for help or leads finding the following parts:
- Trunk/Spare Tire Board (decent/restorable)
- 2-4 Steel Road Wheels (straight/true)
- Hub Caps (good chrome - not pitted, peeling or dented)
- Front Marker Light bases right & left (good chrome - not pitted or cracked)
- Front Bumber Overriders (good chrome, no dents)
- Rear bumper (good chrome, no dents)
- Right lower Dash panel w/ grab handle.
- Fresh air vent knob
- Front anti-sway bar stock
- ?TR4? emblem (good chrome)
- ?A? emblem (good chrome)
- ?IRS? emblem (good chrome)

Send me a PM if you have any of the items that you need cleared out of your garage!

Thanks, Terry

My street TR4 has overdrive. I just rebuilt my gearbox, did not take apart the overdrive, just cleaned it.

Put it back together, gearbox is working fine, but overdrive will not engage. Solenoid is working, and I adjusted lever, but it still won't engage.

I used Redline MT90 synthetic oil. Could this be the problem?

Thanks

I think they tend to get air in them when they are taken apart. You can 
tell very quickly by taking off the plug where a gauge would normally be 
mounted. Spin it and see if oil gets pumped out. You might want to run 
it a while without the plug to see if the air works its way out of the 
system. I did an article on these which is at the VTR maintenance 
section. It explains a procedure for diagnosing a pump which is not 
working, but it needs to be out of the car.

Betreff: [Fot] Street TR4 gearbox

 

My street TR4 has overdrive. I just rebuilt my gearbox, did not take apart
the overdrive, just cleaned it.

 

Put it back together, gearbox is working fine, but overdrive will not
engage. Solenoid is working, and I adjusted lever, but it still won't
engage.

 

I used Redline MT90 synthetic oil. Could this be the problem?

 

Thanks

Mike

 It wasn't Gone in 60 Seconds, but it only took 15 minutes. Glad to have it go to a good home!Gary

I have rebuilt a boat load of these and it's not the oil. If you put all
the parts and pieces back together in the right location it is likely the
adjustment of the lever and the solenoid. Check out the adjustment and vary
the gap between the parts and see if you get engagement.
good luck.
The overdrive is not that complicated so look closely to what you have
assembled.
