141. TR3/4 Suspension Geometry (score: 1)
Author: Larry Young <cartravel@pobox.com>

I've written a small report on the calculation and measurements I've made on TR3/4 suspension (see http://home.swbell.net/cartrip/TRsuspension.PDF). No guarantees, but I believe I finally got all the

Warning - this is a flame about mylaps.com This year CVAR went to the AMB transponders and stores all the results at www.Mylaps.com. I decided to sign up, so I could look at my individual lap times.

Hurray, mylaps finally responded shortly after I sent this. I've sent numerous requests for help over the past several weeks. It's pretty neat to see the actual lap times. Now I know why Dan Duryea c

I did this comparison for TR3/4 suspension. There was very little difference between moving the upper fulcrum inward or shortening the upper A arms. I think the roll center was about 1/8 inch higher

I thought I was starting a thread on head sealing, but it evolved into cooling. My plans are to install a larger radiator and a higher pressure cap. This is going to involve a lot of replumbing and o

When I looked at alternators, it seems like the smallest, lightest, low output alternator were expensive. I ended up with a commodity GM alternator. Heavier and more output than needed, but cheap.

I've been running stock disk brake pads on my TR3A racecar, since they seem to be the only ones available off-the-shelf for early calipers. I was dismayed to discover the last set lasted less than 3

I've heard nothing good about fluxcore wire. You should rig it for gas. I believe I use an argon/co2 mix (ask your local welding supply) and 0.030 wire. The secret to mig welding body panels is to n

After looking at the bars made by Saner, I decided to make an adjustable anti-roll bar for my TR3A. The Fred Puhn book says to use 4130 steel for bars up to 1 inch and 4340 for larger bars. I used 41

I didn't do any welding on the bar. I simply heated it up with a rosebud tip, so I could bend it. I don't know what state of hardness it had to start with. Is it tensile strength that determines the
