hi
This is a 3 part message.
joeiv@concentric.net asked about parts for rebuilding starters
Moss in London have a catalogue of Lucas generator & starter bits:
Tel: 0181-948-6668
Fax: 0181-940-9268
And I would imagine Holden can also supply various electrical things - they
advertise
in the UK based Classic Car magazines. Their catalogue is worth a look too. (I
have it somewhere).
JoeSimcoe@aol.com asked about carpets.
John Skinner have been advertising "Original Spec TR2-6 carpets" for years
in TRaction, the UK TR Register magazine. They explicitly mention TR5/250
Tel: 01285 657410

clayts@vegasnet.net asked about TR4 Horns.
If you put the horns on a battery & they dont sound, then the make & break
mechanism
has got corroded/home to spider nest/etc. Drill out the rivets & clean up
inside.
If you are not getting power, then maybe the wiring loom has fractured. There
is a horn run from the loom kinda "underneath" the middle of the carbs & in
my case tended to attract water & corrode. My fell apart as I touched it!
Its a bit tricky to repair with everything in situ, but its possible to
wield a soldering iron in there.
