[TR] OD Conversion Notes

[acekraut11 at aol.com]

 Randall,

I did replace the Volvo speedo drive gears, and I think I have it right, but there is nothing like seeing the proof in front of you.? I also hope that the cable arrives before thursday so I can have the speedo operating on the 5 hour trip to Stowe.

Also, my apologies for the double or triple post.? I didnt see the first one go through and figured it was too long.

Aaron

It almost certainly won't, unless you replaced the Volvo speedo drive gears.

I suggest doing the operation on a Stag some time.  Afterwards, you will
feel very grateful that the TR6 has a removable tunnel (the Stag doesn't).
I literally took an angle grinder to some sharp corners, and greased my arm
with Vaseline ... and still was bleeding by the time I finished the job.
