Subject: [TR] carpet edges
Message-ID: <21ff431b566a49a7b793d8661add2ba8@ranteer.com>

Is there a kit or a good way to trim out the edges of carpeting?  The car I have has a couple missing pieces.  I've got a matching roll that I can use and I'd like to trim the edges.  Some of the existing pieces have what looks like black vinyl edging and I'm hoping I can do something like that

Dave,

Take the carpet to a carpet dealer that does installs. They have a 
machine that can sew an edge on. They use it to turn remnants into area 
rugs.

An auto trim shop should be able to do this for you.

Message-ID: <c356d38ce31b477d81075dc35ba187a5@ranteer.com>

I see that Racestorations has uprated rear leaf springs.  Is there a company in the US that makes these?

I'm not going racing, just want a little stiffer ride.  And not lowered, either.  Those cars are already low!

And is this a good idea?

If you want a stiffer ride, I?d opt for adjustable dampers. An uprated stiffer spring might be too firm. If a rigid axle, stiffer springs potentially lead to evermore skittish back ends as well. Don?t ask how I know this. WareBe

No surprise in the range of opinions you?ve received. Speaking for myself, I?ve owned and driven many TRs with beam axles ranging from new to fully restored and on the average British and European roads. After about two hours driving, the harshness of ride slowly became agonisingly painful and I had to stop. The cars are fun and I love them, but ride quality on sidescreeners and beam axled 4swas, imho, appalling. However, with IRS up the arse end, the ride was close to paradise for me, anyway. Hundreds will disagree.

I uprated the rear springs on my live axle '67 TR4A back in the day and got
the same result described by John, so from personal experience I would nor
recommend it.

Hey folks, it is me, your underworked and overpaid list admin.  Back at 
the computer.  Some of you know I was taken ill, and spent the last 
month away from the computer.  But back home now after a month of agony 
and weeks of rehab.  And only 13,600 new messages to wade through.  What 
fun!

Time for new slippers; despite not going flat over the last 12 years, the last set have surely perished.

1955 TR-3. Stock wire wheels. Not a show car. No high speed driving.

Any thoughts?

Vredestein tyres are reasonable and of good quality.  I went through Summit Racing and got free shipping.

1955 TR-3.  Stock wire wheels. Not a show car.  No high speed driving.

Any thoughts?

I bought Vredestein through the Tire Rack, and got free shipping.

Coker Tires occasionally has sales, as well as rebates, and sometimes free shipping.

Depending on the size tire you need, Costco may be a great source, but they will not mount tires on wire wheels.
