41. TR6 racks (score: 1)
Author: jesup@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com (Randell Jesup)
Date: Sun, 9 May 93 21:49:45 EDT
Well, I found a few hours to take advantage of the beautiful day and do some work (outside) on the '6. As people here suspected, the steering rack _was_ quite loose, maybe 1/3+" total travel. I guess

To be (slightly) more serious, he should watch out for blobs of molten steel on the road behind him coming from the brakes. ;-) Even the TR8 added enough power/speed that the formerly adequate brake

All Sprites/Midgets until '67 (or so) had stock 4.22 rears. Later A-series cars had 3.9 rears, and I ignore the triumph-powered midgets... ;-) A 4.22 rear makes these light, low-powered cars feel fa

One of mine was similar (the other is brittle, but one had lost an "ear"). I order it from TRF. Also not in stock. No big deal, it came in a month or so later. The covers don't appear to be critical

More likely, the phrase came from General Gordon Bennet of WW2, whose bad decisions greatly contributed to the British losing Singapore to the Japanese.

??? Maybe if you inflate the tires with lead, it _might_ hit 3000. Even then I'd be skeptical. 1600, 1800, even 2000 (for those late-model atrocities with the bumpers and springs and engine from hel

Check for increased resistance in the wiring to the sockets, the contacts, and/or the grounds. (Probably caused by corrosion.) Flash rate is directly related to current draw, so whichever side flash

49. TR6 oil filters (score: 1)
Author: jesup@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com (Randell Jesup)
Date: Tue, 26 May 92 14:12:48 EDT
I spent part of Memorial Day weekend working on my TR6 (as I suspect quite a few sol's did), and changed the oil & filter. Is there some geometric trick I missed? As far as I can tell, the only ways

Pack-rats of the world, unite! Together we can bury the neat-niks in our collections of "you never know when you'll need ..." stuff! Sometimes I think I bought a warehouse with a bedroom attached...

Sprites and Midgets (at least 60's ones) have no visible VIN plates (modern cars have them visible through the windshield), but instead they're in the engine compartment. Even more amusing, they're h

On newsgroups (short): First, it is relatively simple to gateway a newsgroup to an internet mailing list, so those that don't get news could get it by mail. Second, realize that there are a lot of lb

It still sounds like UJoints to me. Are you sure it wasn't the change in torque? My UJoints were very torque-sensitive while they were dieing. Absolutely. I should have done this - I merely replaced

While I prefer to read things in news, I could live with a digest. A digest has other advantages, like being able to see that 4 people have already answered a question before you do. Randell
