Not a scam but don’t think necessary unless you often use these festures Nigel

It was, as always, great! 😀

Looks to me like your original has been altered to suit your steering wheel You may need to refurbish that one.easy enough to do it’s only two ends joined by a braided wire and a spring look at cutting down you new spring to suit Warm welcome to our forum by the way. John

i got mine from Don Trimming Company Ltd very good service they make them and supply a lot to tr speclist shops

I am working on fixing the horn on my 1967 TR4A and I am in need of the proper horn brush (mine is worn out). I ordered a 52mm horn brush from Engel Imports (part#1946) and it is much larger than the brush that came out of my steering wheel - which is close to 41mm (plastic end-to-end). The old worn out brush came out/off of a banjo steering wheel that I believe to be original. Does anyone have have any suggestions as to how or where I can find a horn brush that will fit my car? Any and all help is appreciated. I'm attaching a picture for reference.

Getting back to the original topic - I have just realised there is an easy solution to the 'windmill light' effect. Lucas make relays which have two common make contacts but which are separated when the relay is not operated. One such relay is the SRB400: https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/p/lucas-26ra-srb400-12v-relay-2-x-20a

I have both thermostat, & an override switch. More often than not I will switch the fan on before overheating occurs when coming into traffic, but if I forget then the thermostat will save the day. Bob

I was not aware of a "clip" at the narrow end...Mine has a fixed "pole". Are all your clips the same size?

+3 for the simple Otter switch and Revotec plus manual override Just back from Italy, 32-35 degs so most days rather than stress the system with endless heat cycles, I just turned the fan on in the morning and left it running (Revotec unit rated for continuous operation) and it held normal on the gauge all day, never budged, even in traffic. Nb. Below 28-30 degs I normally let it run via the Otter switch

Nice set of wheels Rob

Congratulations Peter, you've found the computer that Norton works on! I'd have been very happy to continue on Windows 7 too, but my employer changed the corporate standard to 10 and I couldn't be bothered with a different version on my home PC. I haven't tried Win 11 yet; my PC is a high-spec home build but the Win 11 compatibility checker says that it won't run Win 11. I swore I would never have an Apple product after a very difficult few months trying to develop an application for work, during which Apple were not only unhelpful but gave me incorrect information regarding conversion of Apple data into a PC-usable format.

Yes, but surely the block won't lose much heat to the airflow as it doesn't have the surface area of the radiator. Pete

Hi John the park switch is in the motor and is replaceable. I'll try and get some pics tomorrow. Roger

If the filters are full of debris and rust I would consider removing the tank treating it to a clean and possible protective coating or replacement along with the fuel lines as after 50 years they likely need attention. Otherwise a stream of rubbish will continue to contaminate the fuel supply.

Agree you can get them close by eye without the risk of burnt fingers. I left the lower nuts just nipped up by hand and went from there.

Do you or anybody have any pictures, did you do this on one or your TR4's? I presume I need the hoop and the rubber pad for fixing?, and the harness, what about the park function is that included in the motor? I have asked SVC about what is needed. John

Having had a quick play with the chart I tend to agree, will not be buying any 48's anytime soon.....

Hi Steve I have the same size always run with 24 front and 28 rear always rides well but as John says see what suits you just make a log and keep changing until it suits your driving style. Keith

I am having difficulty getting the door chrome strip to engage the clip at the narrow end will not engage. Any tips to overcome this would be welcome

It will be a spotted youth in the IT department showing off to his geeky mates or a scam! Ignore it, or even better request paper statements every month! Old geezers rule George
