What’s that in ‘old money’ James, and how about US meagre pints and gallons? I know “go and look it up” www. convert litres to us quarts About 8 1/2. 1.76 uk gallons or 2.11 us gallons. Does that mean a 10 gallon cowboy hat in America is actually only 8 real gallons?

It can be done. You need to extract the bias needle from its top hat holder that is pressed on. Then fit the top hat to a TR needle, SM or TW for standard. I would expect a rolling road tune would be the best way to get the mixture correct using those carbs.

Yes good seller Water Wetter. The racers loved it as it supposedly eliminated the bubbles and steam issues of aerated water touching hot metal surfaces. The MGBGTV8 crowd loved the stuff too for their aluminium and iron engines with iffy cooling. https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/redline-water-wetter-coolant-additive-355ml-993778201

The GRimmers rear bar you linked to is for IRS cars, so too wide for your application and not adjustable to tune to your requirements.

What needles do you expect to use? HIF run exclusively bias or spring loaded needles. TR needles are fixed. The attachment of the needle into the piston will be one of your challenges or finding a suitable bias type profiled needle. I too have a pair of HIF carbs that I have not fitted to my TR. There is someone on here that has fitted twin HIF to a TR2.

The unavailable rear bar looks like it is from Addco. Not as neat as the Revington one. Triumph Tune were their UK agent I guess since Moss UK, which incorporated Triumph Tune has been absorbed into Rimmers. link to Addco. https://www.addco.net/product-category/triumph/

Is there enough clearance to screw bolts through from the top in that block? Alternative was someone remaking in steel. ? You are seeking 151134 Thereis a genuine one on eBay at present. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403969446777

Agreed. I use up-to 50/50 mix Bluecol or equivalent blue type antifreeze from Comma or Granville. Tape a label on the radiator as to when you filled it and religiously change every two years is my approach. Or your figure of 8 s end up like this.

Try the car without any anti roll bars to see how you like it. Buy the bars as and when you feel you need them. Years ago one of our Dutch contributors said they had fitted a Suzuki Swift anti roll bar to their TR. Crawl around a car park with your tape measure, those from a dismantled Swift might be the solution to your quest for cheapness.

I too run without any suspension anti roll bars. I took off the TR 6 front bar I had as I got fed up with having to saw my way round corners with the steering wheel due to persistent understeer on light throttle. Foot hard down was ok. My car has original Triumph factory uprated front and rear springs (as specified in the factory repair manual) and std shocks. Plus the Revington steering levers, which I think were the biggest single step to improve cornering on bumpy roads. On a fast bumpy bend without them it used to be a toss up whether you went in the ditch or hit the car coming the other way, unless you continually corrected the steering.

Thick as in top to bottom? Making the sump move down by 1 mm? Too thick front to back so it is not level with the front plate? Do the bolts fit it the right places or must you mill them out too? An oil leak waiting to happen. What is wrong with the original bridge? Screw threads pulled ? Drill and tap deeper and fit studs perhaps. Throw it back at the supplier and raise a PQI product quality investigation.

Revington have spent time and money getting their package of suspension items to match. I would ask them for the datum setting for their new shock absorbers.

Did I send you this article before? Don’t forget you can regain the full operating length of your front shock absorbers if you fit the lower wishbones upside down. Marco fixed this issue by making a special lower shock attachment plates. This is helpful as it effectively drops the front of the car without fitting shorter springs. Retains original suspension movement too. Not sure if it will go this way if bumper irons are fitted. photo of it done TRsuspension (1).PDF

Did you mention…..Replace the silent bloc and pin bushes that are in the relay bar from steering box to idler. Available from Revington as Phosphor bronze bushes with stainless pins or Moss with PU bushes and stainless pins. https://www.revingtontr.com/product/105063uk/name/track-control-pin-kit-2-x-105063u-bush-pb I recently modified my PU bush set up to Bronze (after the steel pins seized in the PU bush) using TR2-4 rear crank spigot bushes as the donor bush. Made pins from stainless and fitted grease nipples. see here.
