Only pansies want A/C”.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Moreover, the aircon units available in the UK at the time for factory fit were either of UK or German manufacture and imposed a massive load on the engine to drive the compressor – and they also took up an enormous amount of space with belts going everywhere!!!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>On one occasion, I sold a Herald 1200 saloon to a UK diplomat on his first posting to our Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan and this location was usually the first for any aspiring First Secretary or wannabe Ambassador. I tactfully tried to persuade the customer to try to do without it citing the likely power loss but he was not to be dissuaded.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>The car was built including the spec for that market of tropical radiator and fan, no heater, low compression engine (7:1) for the low octane fuel with matching distributor, heavy duty suspension, engine skid plate and 5.60 section tyres in place of the 5.20’s for other markets. Prior to delivery, the customer asked me to undertake the car break-in process for the first 1,000 miles so he could take delivery after the first service. I did this for him and kept it for a few days afterwards. On the day I delivered it to him at his home near London, I used the M4 motorway to reach his place in the country and discovered the car could cruise happily at 60-70mph with nary a problem – apart from the usual tooth filling shake-outs from the rigid suspension.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Then I turned on the aircon.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Flat out with the aircon running and a *<b>cooler</b>* breeze coming into the body itself, there was no way I could get more than 40mph out of it. Switch it off, and the speedo needle shot round the dial to 70mph plus.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Because of that, aircon in the 60’s and early 70’s was a dirty word at the factory and I greatly doubt that Production or Engineering fitted longer mounting studs for North American applications, the philosophy being “if it’s good enough for the UK, it’s good enough for the rest of the world”.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Jonmac<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Triumphs <triumphs-bounces@autox.team.net> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Randy and Valerie DeRuiter<br><b>Sent:</b> 05 September 2018 15:52<br><b>To:</b> triumph list <triumphs@autox.team.net>; EDWARD WOODS <fogbro1@comcast.net><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [TR] TR6 head studs<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div id=divtagdefaultwrapper><p><span lang=EN-GB style='color:black'>Ed-<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang=EN-GB style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p><span lang=EN-GB style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p><span lang=EN-GB style='color:black'>Wild guess, but US market cars with the dealer installed a/c unit used the two front stud locations.
