Greetings all.

Some time ago someone posted the easy way to set your valve
clearances on a 6-cylinder engine, i.e. minimum crank turnage
per valve. 

My copies of the digests are poorly indexed (actually not at all 
indexed) so no hope of finding it again at this end.
If the author or someone else has archived this, please send
it to me or repost to the list?  Considering the broad utility of
this information I don't think a repost would be out of line.

ObUpdate: Well, Tessa (the '65 Triumph Vitesse 6 convertible) is 
over the hump.  Finished the frame restoration, bodywork, brand 
new gleaming Wedgewood Blue (Triumph #26) paint inside and out!
Remounted the body, now it's time to start putting her all back 
together again.  Daunting task.

Anyone know a good source of custom veneer or solid dashboards?
This is a somewhat unusual car, so the usual sources won't have it.
