Hello all,<br>
<br>
15005 1957 TR3<br>
<br>
The screw that inserts into the door socket that holds the widescreen is broken. I?m sending a gyazo of the good one so you will know exactly what screw I <br>
mean: <a href="https://gyazo.com/e1b5e321e1a31489b0d0735651d8b783" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gyazo.com/e1b5e321e1a31489b0d0735651d8b783</a><br>
<br>
Does anyone know of a place where I might get this, or an equivalent? If I can get the lower thread out it might be possible to weld it, but the retaining pin holding it in place is in no hurry to pop out, plus it seems rusted in. <br>
<br>
Grateful for any tips or info. <br>
Thanks <br>
Dave<br>

Thank you, Ron and John for recommendations on where to get my TR3A looked at.? It's good to know there's at least a few places left to take her.? This is the first time I had her trailered instead of driving her to be worked on.? Waiting for the diagnosis/recommendations.? Looking to keep her on the road for a bit longer.<br>

Subject: [TR] Spin-on Filter/Adapter<br>
<br>
Greetings, all!<br>
<br>
I have a spin-on filter adapter on my '74 TR6. I find that when the filter is vertical, it makes using the bleed screw on the clutch slave difficult to maneuver.<br>
<br>
If I loosen the adapter plate and rotate the assembly clockwise a bit to rotate the filter away from the clutch slave bleed screw, how far from vertical can the filter be without any issues, anyone know?<br>
<br>
Thanks, folks!<br>
<br>

<br>
Most of the setups like this I've seen (including mine) have the filter <br>
turned slightly clockwise from vertical. This is not a gravity-fed <br>
filter system, so orientation of the filter shouldn't matter. (But I <br>
also admit that I could be dangerously wrong.) Most of my modern cars <br>
have the spin-on filter horizontal. And the Subaru Outback w/ turbo <br>
engine has it upside down! (see attached).<br>

Thanks, everyone for your responses.. I?ve now rotated the adapter/filter<br>
about 20 degrees from vertical and there?s now plenty of access space to<br>
the clutch slave bleed screw. ?<br>

You can move it quite a lot. The recommeded filters have anti-drain back provisions so the oil will not drain out of the filter. But that really is not an issue. You can move it sufficiently off vertical to get as much clearance as required. I have. Next club meeting or TR gathering you go to just look at the various angles .<br>

I had a similar problem on my injected engine with the Lucas system. I tried a variety of different size filters and my problem was the fuel metering unit being in the way as it was driven off the distributor shaft. In the end I used a fairly stubby filter positioned at about 9 o?clock and everything was fine. As long as you ensure you use a filter with an anti drain valve, it?ll stay full when the engine isn?t running and none of the ?death rattle? on a cold start. At least it worked for me without issues but I?m sure you?ll get plenty of ?variable? advice :)<br>
