Hello, Thank you Nick ,but that wasn't the section/bit I was looking for. Will start again when I work myself up to it. Regards, Michael.

Hello Colin, Thank you. I am going to print a few words about the carb trip. I thought I had asked a question on here about my choice of fuel/air supply (2x2" S U's )but can't find it so may have to start again. Regards, Michael.

Hello, would have been interesting to hear the outcome of this experiment ! I have done something similar + 2x2" S U 's. on a TR6. Regards, Michael.

Hello Colin, Just a little update. The manuals have proven very useful. I now have a nicely running TR6 (also with a lot of help from the bloke who used to run a dyno in Canberra for 30 odd years) regards Michael.

Hamish, What's happening? Regards, Michael.

Hello All, Nick, three but the first one is not counted. The motor IS good so it was time to do something to the suspension as it was as bad as the motor. THE motor a bit more on that later. I have been "lucky"? so far with that, so far the only things I have had to pay for are the Super Pro bits and the corner weight wheel alignment. Hamish, I am thinking exactly like you. The car is also my road car! Colin, the first one is the revamped "Wakefield Park" and the next two are "Pheasant Wood" (named after a place in France, more to that story). Regards, Michael.

Hello, Thank you Hamish on all counts, as you would know now for the fine tuning! regards, Michael.

Hello, And the advertising poster for Winton Historics.

Hello, Back with a bit more. There was a lot of parts on check then parts of change/adjust then parts back on etc. at both ends. The back, the springs that were in the car are 350 lb. and 10 3/4" and they had some weird adjuster "things" between the coils! The sedan springs are in now and are 425lb. and 9 7/8", with the Super Pro spacer/pads and the earlier mentioned "droop" straps. From the left guard to centre of hub 350mm and on right 360mm, chassis to floor 135mm both sides + the KYB gas shocks ( p/n 343114 sb25) They need replacing as they just return when compressed!. All this was done before the corner weight/wheel alignment of course! Have been to a GEAR day at the refurbished "Wakefield Park" (one raceway) about 120 entries! All went well apart from the "kemakazi" pilots practicing on the new track for their race meeting in the near future.(All the sports cars together). Then another GEAR day later at "Pheasant Wood" Marulen, which was much more pleasant and another good day! Regards, Michael.

Hello, Here are four more (there is another Tr3A but it's out of this shot) There was a film being made about about them. Regards, Michael.

Hello, Before I move to the back. You might have noticed in the first of the last pictures, the stabilizer bar and it's arm looks a bit "different". That is a Kastner modification to make the standard bar adjustable (at present in the standard adjustment, but will be"tightened" up before it leaves the garage again. Regards, Michael.

Hello Hamish, I just read the rest of this page AND my wife sent a wood fired heater and a fridge to be fitted to mine! Regards Michael. It still looks good.

Hello Hamish, That all looks neat and tidy and the floor looks about the same shade as mine... Regards, Michael.

Hello, A bit more info. And a correction, the springs are 550 lbs., they are King no.S 0orD 87810. At the front there is 85mm between chassis and ground. From guard to centre of hub/wheel on left there is 330mm and on right there is 340mm. Springs that were on car are 300lb./ 10" free length. Reversing the wishbones lowered the front guard to centre of hub by 25mm and the chassis to ground by about 15mm. have to be careful on the road now as the "flexi joint" and sump are about 15mm lower than the chassis. Can't find the free length of the King springs. New spring seats Superpro (they come in two thicknesses) and a new set of trunnion seals/bushes (Superpro) yet to be fitted (they were out of stock when I was doing that job so put the old ones back as I wanted to go to the next GEAR day) To the rear next episode. Regards, Michael.

Hello all, Where to start,. Well here I go. The suspension work was a bit more new ground for me, but it worked out ok. Changed the back springs for a set TR6 ones (from a race car) but ended up putting the ones I had in back, TR6 ones were way to short (2.5 PI mk. 2 sedan but not standard , will have to look at the paperwork in the garage for the poundage) and new spring seats, Super Pro, and some seat belt webbing to act as "droop straps"(mounted to top and bottom shock mounts as it has home made telescopic shock conversion with KYB gas shocks from the 2.5 sedan). Will give some measurements when I get down to garage again. Now to the front. Fitted a set of King springs 500 lb. from a certain green TR3A and it has a set of Bilstein shocks from the same car (had to make some droop stops for the front too, angle iron with measured/welded spacer bolted to bumper bracket bolt). Reversed the bottom wishbones. Regards,Michael.
