[Fot] Race Spitfire Gearshift and Transmission Question

Mon Oct 9 15:32:42 MDT 2023

 Sorry to hear of your troubles.  No I do not have any spare Top Cover Caps.  You could call Bit of Britain in Vermont  or check with Ted Schumacher. As for the hole left by the missing speedo housing a cheap fix is a trip to local hardware store and look for an expandable rubber plug in the plumbing section ??  Be sure to first measure the opening in the tray then make the trip.
Wish you luck in the prep work and best of luck if you make to the track.

 After having my shift knob, break off in my hand at the threaded portion at Watkins Glen race two weeks ago, I was working on my car to replace the lever this morning. 
The first thing I encountered was the top Bayonet mount is broken off on one side so only one side is engaging. Anyone have a replacement for those, especially in Eastern Mass)? Moss didn’t seem to have in stock.
 While I was checking and then adding gear oil, I finished up and I looked under my car, only to see a puddle growing under it from where it was leaking somewhere on the tail piece of the transmission.  
After taking off the tunnel cover, I noticed it seems to be coming out of the speedometer cable mounting hole. With a race car not having a speedometer I’m wondering was there a plug there? That has now vacated the premises. I can’t imagine it was run open like that.  Trying to get this ready for HRG Thompson this Friday if I can. 
Thanks for the help.

 Scott (or anyone).  My GT6 project is for sale.  Includes just about everything needed except final assembly.  Anyone can contact me at clw2000 at msn.com for pics and details if interested.

Thanks,

Subject: [Fot] Race car wanted I’m still looking for a second race car to complement my GT6.  In the Triumph family, I’m interested in a TR6. Could be vintage prepared, could be an SCCA production class car.  Ideally I’d like something that is “race ready” or something reasonably close, recognizing of course that all race cars continually need work. I guess what I’m saying is I’m not looking for a total project or an incomplete car.  Blown engines, etc are fine.

Heresy, but I’d also be interested in a non-Triumph race car- sports racer, anything European, Datsuns, no formula fords.
I intend to run vintage on the East Coast, but there are a couple of events, and also clubs (HSR) where the rules allow a wider range than the traditional pre-1972 prep level.
Plz let me know if you have something or know of someone who does.
Thx,
Scott Janzen
