BTW, for those that don't get the TRF newsletter thing, they (and other
parts companies) are trying to get together enough orders for 3-point belts to
remanufacture them (for the TR6 and maybe Spit/others). I think they need
~500 orders to make it worthwhile for the manufacturer; when I ordered mine
they had ~125 on order at TRF. I used to live with poorly-attached lap belts
in some of my old Sprites, but I do worry about eating the steering wheel
and windscreen if I were to have an accident in my '6. Note that when I
ordered from TRF, the newsletter was just in the process of being mailed -
I hadn't seen it yet.
Also, apparently TR6 brake shoes came in on the same boat as the
rocker-oil-feed add-ons; I got both in one package. Does anyone know how
the feed is supposed to be installed? The hook-up to the oil-pressure
fitting seems pretty obvious. I haven't taken a close look at the head yet
to see what options I have there.
BTW, I still have my turn signal problems (low voltage at the flasher
causing left turn signals to be slow- to non-flashing, right can get slow
if the lights are on). I've traced the low voltage to fried wires going to
the ignition switch (from the PO). Engine off: 12.6V at battery, ~11.4V at
the fuse box. I still don't know why the left signals are so much worse
than the right - all measures of resistance have been similar l/r and switching
bulbs doesn't matter. Perhaps a corroded connection somewhere.
BTW, the voltage is low enough that stepping on the brakes at night
causes a noticable reduction in the light on the radio dial (brakes are on the
same circuit as flashers and most dashboard stuff).

soon... argh... serves me right for not replacing all 6 when I had a chance)
