Re: wanted Flasher unit

ah well if youre trying to cover up you electronics in the casing of the relay unit, you will be using and be able to see something that was never originally on a TC ... so why dont you use a perfectly usable and correct period fuse box in or around the battery/cutout box area?

Re: wanted Flasher unit

I presume you mean the 'flasher relay' used primarily on the US TC's and TD's and not the traditional Lucas cylindrical flasher unit? If so they can be found at all the T-type suppliers and are plenty on ebay too ... around £50. Beware, if youre going to use one your wiring loom will need to adapted...

Re: Rear wings and tank fitting.

hi Ray, the question is loaded with lots of ...'depends'! depends on whether you have original wings and if they belonged to that TC? If so locating holes in the wings should or could be so helpful to site them correctly and aligned down the body. Generally I would say that is the most important par...

Re: Oil/temperature gauge

I'm pretty certain that none of the TC's ever had a combined oil/temp gauge fitted at production time until the introduction of the TD; when I'm sure the option to change became available. Since then it makes sense if you can along with a water temp gauge to include them to provide additional awaren...

Re: 8 inch Headlights

Over the past few years, because of owning Triple-M's and TC, I've come across and used a variety of 8" headlamps, Rotax and Lucas. Generally if I have them I'd use the Lucas L140 bowls along with flat defused lens. Yes the TC was fitted with the LBD140 or MBD140 in the UK, along with U-shaped and o...

Re: Bonnet tape

Hi Ray, i'm pretty sure the tape wraps across the top in one piece; I've always fitted them that way. There is a small benefit in that the tape underneath the top hinge also covers the ends of the screws and perhaps keepng things in place without movement/vibration marks to the shell. Yes, tricky to...

Re: SU H2 and H4 carbs

Hi ya, The best thing to do for now is to find pictures and diagrams of the 2 carbs to determine and x-ref each the components to see if the AUCnnn are the same. Finding a SU catalogue helps or you can use the Burlen(SU) website to compare. I've just rebuilt my pair of H2 with AUC3478 bodies, but ha...

Re: Oil gauge line routing

the flexi-pipe can be easily fitted incorrectly by putting the wrong sequence of fibre and copper washers on the block. I'd have to check before being 100% to what it is. From the 2-way brass connector through to the gauge can be supported by a number of ways; the key thing I beleive to ensure it is...
