Good to know. I have some vents but wasn't sure they fit. I thought they were too large because the PO installed small lights in place of the vents and fabricated a plate to reduce the hole size. It was difficult to Tell that was done because the headliner covered it. I was able to feel around and determine what was done. I plan to return to original now.

I'm planning to do a quick rebuild of the carbs and fuel pump (I'm sure time and that darned ethanol-blend fuel hasn't been kind to them), as well as replace the rear wheel cylinders (seals appear to be shot, as brake pedal goes to floor and there is a little puddle under each rear wheel).B Will also buy a new brake master cylinder in case that's shot. Couple of questions for the list: 1. In the past when the car has sat for a long time, I have spun the engine with the starter for a while before firing, to get the oil circulated.B To reduce strain on the "dry" engine when doing this, I have removed the spark plugs and removed the rocker shaft, so that the engine can spin with very little resistance.B However, my dad recommended just removing the distributor and pulling the cam gear out, and just spinning the oil pump with a drill.B Is that possible in a TR6?B I'm not clear how I'm going to connect my drill to the oil pump.B If I remember right, the shaft that goes from the cam gear to the oil pump is press-fit into the cam gear, so it's not like I can connect it to my drill.B Any thoughts? 2. I remember reading that there are 0.75" rear wheel cylinders available which give slightly better braking performance, especially when paired with the Toyota 4-pot front calipers (which I may do in the near future).B Where do we get these 0.75" wheel cylinders? 2. I may need to replace the clutch master cylinder.B Should I go with the 0.70" or 0.75" bore?B I understand the 0.75 will give me higher pedal pressure but more movement of the slave, which seems a good idea considering how close the tolerances are with clutch-throw on these cars.B What do you all think?B B 3. Anyone have any experience with these new "nitrophyl" carb floats that I see on Moss's website?B They are apparently a solid float instead of hollow, thus the problem of a hole in the float is eliminated.B Seems like a neat idea while the carbs are being rebuilt. Thanks all, Tim Holbrook1971 TR6 (hopefully back on the road this spring!) _______________________________________________ Archive: http://www.team.net/archive 6pack@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/6pack From 6pack-bounces@autox.team.net Sat Feb 7 19:14:56 2015 Return-Path: <6pack-bounces@autox.team.net> Delivered-To: mharc@autox.team.net Received: from autox.team.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id DADDC2584594 for ; Sat, 7 Feb 2015 19:14:55 -0700 (MST) Delivered-To: 6pack@autox.team.net Received: from cdptpa-oedge-vip.email.rr.com (cdptpa-outbound-snat.email.rr.com [107.14.166.232]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5FA3C2580218 for <6pack@autox.team.net>; Sat, 7 Feb 2015 19:04:26 -0700 (MST) Received: from [70.121.224.41] ([70.121.224.41:64741] helo=livingroompc) by cdptpa-oedge01 (envelope-from ) (ecelerity 3.5.0.35861 r(Momo-dev:tip)) with ESMTP id E6/7F-24099-C35C6D45; Sun, 08 Feb 2015 02:09:01 +0000 From: "Greg Lemon" To: "Timothy Holbrook" , "6Pack List" <6pack@autox.team.net> References: <178104374.330882.1423357119818.JavaMail.yahoo@mail.yahoo.com> Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2015 20:08:56 -0600 Subject: Re: [6pack] Refiring my TR6 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: 6pack-bounces@autox.team.net Yes, it would be best to spin the oil pump rather than spinning the motor, it has been a few years since I did it, and I only did it once, but I believe if you can find a large standard blade screwdriver type extension/drill bit it will do the trick, that being said, I don't know that it would be awful just to spin the motor until you get some oil pressure. I did the Toyota caliper conversion and went with I believe a 7/8" (.875) rear wheel cylinder from a Morgan. Your pedal will go down quite a bit farther because you have to move more fluid to push the larger rear wheel cylinder and especially the four pot front calipers). I did it this summer, and I have bled and adjusted to no end, and still don't like the pedal feel, the brakes work fine, probably better than stock when you get on them, but when tooling around I like the reassuring feeling of a nice firm pedal that bites right away. I am thinking I am going to convert back with that sterling recommendation, if you want all the parts lightly used and cheap I will make you a deal, ready to go with the adapter pipe fittings for the metric calipers and shims for the slightly larger caliper bolts.

(I am assuming that was the factory as it looked original and was in areas that an average owner would never get access to) So I need to have new floor pans installed. I was looking at coating with POR 15 and see they offer a product called Hardnose. It comes in many colors. I would possibly use another POR15 or primer underneath this Hardnose paint product. Question: Were the floor pans dark red 'primer' or something else? And what do others recommend I coat them with?

Apparently Wayne Carini's dad had a signature touch for his restorations which entailed a steady hand holding a small brush against the wheel which was then slowly turned. I can't speak to the type of paint used but it seemed like an effective method to get a consistent line on the tire. Cheers, Dave > On Feb 10, 2015, at 2:01 PM, Jason M.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: 6pack-bounces@autox.team.net Don't get the Harbor Freight one - they don't sell replacement nozzles. I got an inexpensive one at Sears, and they do have extra nozzles. For areas that aren't visible body parts, you really don't have to worry about heat. I usually run at about 80PSI and that works well with rust. Sandblasting with regular sand is generally a bad idea because of the free silica. According to what I have read, even using a P100 rated mask isn't good enough. Harbor Freight sells aluminum oxide blast media, which costs way more than sand, but doesn't have the free silica issue. Worth the $40 in my opinion. By the way, this media eats standard nozzles, as quickly as in 30 minutes of blasting. So get the extra nozzles when you buy the blaster. Make sure you cover up everything you can because the media gets everywhere. And try to prime as soon as you're done blasting, or you'll get more rust pretty quickly and you can do it all over again.

First, the bodies were dipped in paint as part of the process. That's why the primer color is visible in hard to reach nooks and crannies. But the anecdotal reference is that toward the end of the week (e.g. FRI afternoon), the paint shop dumped any paint that was leftover for the week into the dipping tank. I've never seen anything but that primer red, but different shades are def. possible. But if you're installing new floor pans, try to leave the e-coat as intact as possible and then scuff it and paint as explaind - body color on the interior and if you're going for concours, you might try to duplicate the primer color on the bottom sides.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: 6pack-bounces@autox.team.net I used that black coal residue blasting media. It comes in coarse and fine grade. I used the fine. It is cheap so you can blast outdoors and not have to worry about media recovery. My outdoor blaster also came from Sears. It works very good but you have to keep the media very dry. I setup one of those portable garages and covered the sides with plastic used for painting. Very cheap at Lowes. That way, all the dust stays in the tent and wont bother your neighbors. If you do choose to blast out doors, get one of those blasting hoods + always wear a good dust respirator and a good set of gloves. Best to also wear overalls from head to toe. That media gets everywhere! Bob > > I dread having to remove the brake and clutch lines and cylinders and > brake > booster to allow unobstructed access to paint the compartment.

I believe it's made for Home Depot under the husky brand. Replacement nozzles are sold at Home Depot also. It is in the air tool dept. Less than $20.00. It is very simple yet effective. It just draws the media out of a bucket. I use fine grade black beauty aka Coal Slag. Coal Slag is much safer & more effective than sand. Most tool rental shops sell it in 100# bags around $15.00. But use the fine grade only anything more coarse will be hard to paint smoothly over. 70 -80 PSI is best. Anything over that pressure you are just wasting air & will not get the best cut from the media. CFM is the killer. If your air compressor cannot put out at least 15 CFM the job will be painfully slow, as you will constantly be waiting for the compressor to make enough air to continue.

They cut a very shallow dado in the sidewall and fill it with a red rubber compound which is vulcanized rather than glued in. It looks great and has held up very well over the years. I don't advocate this method as a do-it-yourself project, but I have heard that there are other outfits that do this. I imagine any less sophisticated method would produce a pretty fragile result at best, even if one could apply paint with neatness, consistent width, and perfect concentricity.

I think the brand name is Brut. Not sure about grits on Starblast. It's not an expensive media, especially when compared to paint cost. The flat surfaces are the only ones subject to warping, so just be careful with those. Hold the gun at an angle and don't dwell too long in one spot. This is a dirty nasty job. You also need a decent compressor, like 5 to 7 1/2 hp two stage, or you will be waiting a lot. I'd look for someone you can trust to do it. Do you have kids that will work cheap? Promise to will the car to them. Mine would never do the dirty work.

It includes a reinforced center section of the bumper and a bar that runs under the boot and attaches to the cross bar under the spare tire well. You can have the whole bumper/hitch/attachment hardware for $250 plus shipping (but it's pretty heavy). I'll have to get into my storage area to find it but I'll try to take some photos in the next day or so if you're interested. - Lee On Mon, February 16, 2015 15:54, Stuart wrote: > I am thinking of installing a hitch on my 76 with a 1 1/4 in receiver so I > can attach my bike rack to it.

I should have checked the price of the rear window seal first. It's more than I paid for the top. Over $100 at the normal places in including Spitbits and VB. Anybody happen to know of a different source. It's only $75 at Rimmer Brothers, but you can't see how much shipping will be until checkout, and I assume that will make up the difference in price. I also need all the hardware, 4 bolts and those little side thingies. Just wondered if anybody might have something like that sitting around. thanks,Sloane 69-Six72-Spit _______________________________________________ Archive: http://www.team.net/archive 6pack@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/6pack From 6pack-bounces@autox.team.net Wed Feb 18 12:53:57 2015 Return-Path: <6pack-bounces@autox.team.net> Delivered-To: mharc@autox.team.net Received: from autox.team.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 12EDD25809A4 for ; Wed, 18 Feb 2015 12:53:57 -0700 (MST) Delivered-To: 6pack@autox.team.net Received: from nm18.access.bullet.mail.bf1.yahoo.com (nm18.access.bullet.mail.bf1.yahoo.com [216.109.114.41]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id E1D9925804C2 for <6pack@autox.team.net>; Wed, 18 Feb 2015 12:53:51 -0700 (MST) s=s2048; t=1424289514; bh=2ZybVr82YKAkk9PYrJ0nNkHoMbHwddjXBjFqFzCBRGw=; h=Date:From:To:Subject:References:In-Reply-To:From:Subject; b=L7XXfYBwbHNU2ukHxzNJQs3AcM9eF6L/z275y313rgFB/zmCZeLPvU+baEY+4QGKbRJl/N4HZg8zDObilTYNhhUIp6gUt7Yjcmiy1UT4TX1JyrcF3tp+5IJCE6rnNAERgQidtuaLHZULdXpOP5eBQLQCs4P980IVgj8lEPh5y3dPplfK2utzKO8mH8mQftOdG2jCXyQ4QN0XiFV1EYUN9XpFm9vtQeAHnNsT/YEKgYiispMgEePNUx6Lx37NzRga9C/gfGXmx76hbCMHV1DjOlMfMasRAzYPg5exvDK9Zi5VGPMoDLOyWzqQ/cMQEWb7IISfdOjMb0z26iJw48d3Qg== Received: from [66.196.81.165] by nm18.access.bullet.mail.bf1.yahoo.com with NNFMP; 18 Feb 2015 19:58:34 -0000 Received: from [98.138.226.240] by tm11.access.bullet.mail.bf1.yahoo.com with NNFMP; 18 Feb 2015 19:58:34 -0000 Received: from [127.0.0.1] by smtp111.sbc.mail.ne1.yahoo.com with NNFMP; 18 Feb 2015 19:58:34 -0000 NgG9c1W0iQ2ZLBbRmmZ0g2o4ckYSUdaGngR24QGZers0VD0jYDo3E_AlDpwy Ar_Vf_sxL_OEoQrTBk3cvLfR1KQz_DkW8P4wAmiEiNPmUFVvwPgZUJ3cdfpE Ns9vw336q_egfqKb.ztcaGSKL1xmMLHmF7lT5tMRbP5cAA1Cga4QVuTdSUJt XoccG3.jnzjm_y9SGwQxeCw22QFMy59uqn6B8LiUas96jLyaLCQ0Znj3rTDP 6wUF6pRp0YVEuRqIj8uskf2_pYwU2S0PwuMD8ba481eB_8dsaaXeovVI1dR1 SRw3kUz8Bh5tL3J_sQ6rNeg29EFQpdadOhQVLlwrOyoroBoTL..F3wamsglv R4gCV53S_B0cBs3bv5apO8cSqKNckc5khit0H.eZBreSB2Cp6YqAIO3qtO.3 tfWS.i_6Il3Qozq4mJ.XBopO1t1z96.JoUXtDWO.0u6cCjkinwYkEyo9ftUA DvLU2QlKOgYglzn3lP8M4SijfwXjNawINEvVLa.mh.tWz_N1JimxfpzaAx0a OeBUwFe32PSj2svUU9atXSV1Q0sPZ Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2015 13:58:39 -0600 From: Larry Young User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/31.4.0 To: 6pack@autox.team.net References: <0AADECD7-6B8E-4918-A18A-6F52960768CA@aol.com> Subject: Re: [6pack] Trailer hitch Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: 6pack-bounces@autox.team.net I used to have a purpose made hitch on my TR250 that I bought from JCWhitney. Its design was similar. The piece with the ball mounted on it went straight back and attached to the bolt that goes through the spare tire and crossbrace under the trunk. Another piece ran behind the bumper and attached to the bumper mounts. It was not a receiver type, but you could easily make a receiver hitch with the same design. - Larry On 2/16/2015 6:01 PM, Lee Daniels wrote: > Hi Stuart - > > I actually have an entire trailer hitch system for a TR6 (it came with a parts > car I had several years ago).

The SU carbs I believe are from a Rover, but you can look up the tag number on the carbs to be sure. The carbs have a rather unique set of velocity stacks attached. Ive never seen ones like that before. The manifold is strictly a late TR6 but the carbs of course should fit on any manifold matching the HD 4 bolt series. Make me a reasonable offer. They will go as is on ebay shortly and Id rather not pay their final value fees if I dont have too.

The TR6 wheel is a steel inner armature with a molded soft rubber type material molded over the armature. I believe one or more of the main suppliers has offered a replacement in the past, although I havent purchased one. I elected to satisfy my curiosity by recasting my wheel rim myself, and found it to be every bit the challenge I thought it might be. I constructed a mold, and used a 94 durometer casting urethane to make the rim. I then covered the rim with leather, which seemed to be like recovering seats; an easy job for a three armed monkey! All-in-all, it was successful, but not a project I would readily suggest. I think that the common use of an aftermarket wheel such as Moto Lita or others is a solution that avoids the restoration difficulties. Just a free opinion.

I have a stock differential. I had it rebuilt due to clunking sound, but I now suspect that the shopwas incorrect and the clunk (which I still have) is actually worn splines. Oh well. So if I go with CV hubs...I read that I should replace the trailer arm bushings with GoodPart bushings.darn. those were replaced when I had new frame members welded in. I also read something about the lug nut studs..."Good Parts hubs use 1-3/8" wheel studs which are about 3/16" longer than stock"(I assume the original threads for the lug nuts still match) Anyone have experience in this upgrade to share advice with me?

It can be found in the tech note section of the Central PA Triumph Club site... ( http://www.cptc.org/tech_tips/Refitting%20New%20Rear%20Hubs%20to%20the%20TR6. pdf ). I'm very pleased with the new hubs but went through a similar decision process. If money was unlimited, I would have put in the Toyota limited slip differential with the CV shafts but reality and household budget limited me to the hub swap only.

I think both of those swaps are well worth doing when the rear end needs work. that was several years and many hard miles since. no issues. this car will be my son's some day, so everything I do is with an eye towards longevity and reliability (is that statement redundant?) the cv joints - seems awfully pricey.
