Rob, it was not said there was a difference between chassis and frame. Robert was having troubles removing wheels with the oversized tires. Appears he had jacked from under the diff, and was wondering if it would be easier to remove the wheels if he instead jacked from the chassis rail on one side. ...

They could well be factory original, and from a bent donor car. Agree that getting it red hot and bending may be possible, using well applied leverage.

Quite a bit different than the TC. Late TC. Split pin is not original.

I doubt there were any clips within the cockpit for the tach or speedo cables. Looking under the TC dash, the speedo cable is draped over the "coat hanger" before entering the instrument, and the tach cable is draped through the steering column bracket before entering the instrument. No need for any...

There are online calculators for tire size, rear end ratio, RPM and MPH that seem to come and go. Here is one: https://purperformance.com/p-29669-rpm-calculator.html I run a stock 5.125:1 rear end and I find my stock speedometer is dead on accurate at all speeds with the (30" dia) Model A tires, acc...

If you can get a 2+ inch thick fan between the front of the stock sized radiator and the louvres you are a magician.

The pawl, part #24 in pic has been known to crack/break, and symptoms can be similar to those described. pic from abingdon spares

On the regulator, in place of the two 35amp old style Lucas fuses, I have been running SFE14 fuses in the TC. Never blown one.

Numerous articles on conversion etc can be found on internet. Here is one: https://triumphtr6.info/Manuali/fuses.pdf

Of course you could also just eliminate the standard fan and install an electric fan to suck air in- for around town. Up against the back of the radiator. Some prefer a simple on/off switch to a thermostatically controlled setup.

Dave-
No advice on the timing advance changes. Just curious.

Castrol Red Rubber Grease or equivalent would be ideal. Made from non-petroleum (vegetable) oils, you will have some around if you rebuild your own brake system components.

Curious what you will be changing the ignition advance to. All in by 2,500 rpm? Or?(●'◡'●)

Grab on an unrestored EXU. No MG logo.

As Steve mentioned there are a lot of variables, like a shutoff valve that is too long in length. Another problem with the valve can be not using a gasket or using too thick a gasket. Does it call for a gasket? And of course the forks can get all bent into odd shapes. I found the correct length orig...

Dave, you need a smaller diameter tube for your preferred adjustment method. Sounds like one of those very small dia. cocktail straws might be what you need. The fuel level in the float bowl is directly related to the fuel level in the jet. When I switched to the nitrophil floats, I recall it was tr...

Moving them does effect the fuel height in jet. Something to keep in mind when adjusting fuel height in jet.

If those numbers are from an XPAG dry test, then the compression ratio of the engine is likely around 9:1 and about 75-80hp.

here is a different source for the WKF Wood XPAG document. Loads much faster from this source- http://www.tcmotoringguild.org/techinfo ... ewrite.pdf

The new ethanol laced gasoline (10% or whatever) will go bad quite a bit faster than real gasoline. Seems to go bad faster in warmer weather. One months is not unheard of. Not any studies on effects of bad gas on hot starts. My TC had louvre's punched on top around 1951 and the car has never had a h...

A quick look at the WKF Wood period treatise on the XPAG will show the expected compression reading on a good "stock" XPAG with stock compression to be in the 90-100PSI range. page 7/54. When the compression ratio is bumped up from stock 7.25:1 to 8.3:1 you can expect to find around 145psi. page 11/...

To help, we would need to know if you are running it all in stock configuration, or specifically what has been changed. Having an aftermarket rocker cover, with no venting, can cause troubles. Using something other than the stock tappet cover and breather tube can cause troubles. Dirty oil will make...
