Back in my 'one step forward' thread, I mentioned my problem getting the clutch to operate properly. Having stripped everything down today and ensured the pushrod was fully home in the cylinder, I was still getting way too much play between the piston in the slave being fully retracted and the point w...

Happily, my recent purchase of an alloy water pump housing has cured the annoying coolant leak at the rear of the housing. Still no idea why the old cast iron persisted in leaking after 3 attempts to get it to seal but, hey ho, sorted now. On the irritating front, there is still a slow drip from the s/s pipe...

Thought the assembled masses might like to see my new floorpans. A bit of fettling and a couple of holes for the seat frames and they should be ready for spot welding in place. Please excuse the messy workshop. I promise I'll tidy up soon.

Well, after faffing around for ages changing the engine front plate from the TR4 one to the TR3 one, cutting and drilling new mounting plates, welding them in upside down, grinding them off, cutting and drilling 2 more new mounting plates, welding them in the right way round, the engine and box are now...

After a lot of measuring and research i'm now sharing my V6 project. Long time ago i got this idea, and i started to investigate if this was feasible. My main goal is that i don't have to change the chassis, and that it is reversible. Due to its compact dimensions the choice fell on the Ford 2.4 EFI V6, cou...

As may have been observed from another of my recent posts, I had to change the engine front plate on my re-built engine from the TR4 one to the TR3 one to get the engine sitting at the correct height in the chassis. In doing so, look what I found. I was well pleased.

Hi everybody, Some of you know I own this car for many years, bought back in 1998. Bought as a partially dismantled wreck, basically not worth saving, but complete with glass, P-grille etc. As these are very rare, I couldn't find another one so it became mine. I've built a new chassis to start with, i...

After getting the car home from Detroit in September it taken a little time to document details for starting the restoration. The car has now been blown apart except for the front & rear suspension and steering column. Chassis is various states of disrepair primarily from the firewall back. ...

Having had to buy a new (second hand) stator tube can anyone tell me how far it should extend, if by anything, beyond the end of the nut that holds it in place on the lower end of the steering box. At present and with the steering wheel as far down the splines on the top of the column as it can go, the stator tube...

Sorry guys, missed the TR show. The radiator gave up 70 miles into the trip, and stranded me at Cambridge Services. It's a mercy that it didn't fail in the roadworks. For the first time in my Peerless/Warwick ownership Ive needed a two truck. However, the ali/plastic land rover rad is rubber mounted...

I have had steering wheels restored by: Mike Lempert 2124 Shell Ring Circle Mt Pleasant, SC 29466 USA Really beautiful results. He knew all about Peerless steering wheels and Italian wheels.

I have found an imperfect replacement for the original weatherstrips. I was about to throw the old, original away but thought I should post images of the originals. they are not fuzzy as I had originally thought and the rubber part is actually a Z shape,. -- Edited by maserich on Thursday 20th of June 20...

An early Easter present and way better than a chocolate egg. Two new alloy fuel tanks, fitted with AN6 outlets, weld on ring for VDO dip senders to the inside AND foam filled. Don't know about the Easter bunny but I'm certainly happy.

The little furry chap has been busy spending in Revingtons and has delivered me...... The first jolly update is steering box top plate RTR3075. This works really well. It replaces the peg with a sprung pin and removes most of the play due to wear around the straight ahead bit. The other update is geo...

Has anyone any idea of the bush size that fits around the bolt holding the front of the leaf spring to the chassis? The bolt and bush were rusted solid and had to be cut off when I stripped the car so I'll have to get new ones made up. I don't suppose they were a stock item.
