Hi all,
I'm new to brit cars, looking to buy a TR4/4A.
I'm going to see a TR4 tomorrow that has a broken rear spring or springs.
The story goes that the shock absorber bolt came loose and resulted in a
broken spring. Is this feasible? Why do springs break in these cars?
How much work am I looking at to fix this? The car is running, and I want to
fix up the big faults and keep it running. Are springs from other
TRs/Triumphs in general interchangeable with the 4's?
On another tack, I see there are a few listers from Australia: I'm looking
for someone in NSW to go and eyeball a TR4 in Coffs Harbour. Can anyone
help?
While I'm at it, I really wanted a timber dash in my car, but all the cars
on sale round here are TR4s. Is it complex/forbidden/unwise to fit a 4A
timber dash to a 4? There is some difference about the headlight switch,
right? I'm afraid the white painted dash leaves me cold.
That's enough questions for today, but just wait til I buy a car!
Cheers,
Paul.
