A friend needs two 848645 layshaft bearings to get his TR6 out of the shop. They seem to be on backorder everywhere he's looked (TRF, Moss, and I'm not sure where else). Anyone have a pair lying arou

As soon as I'd posted the request, someone from ISOA posted me that he has a pair right here in the area, so I guess we have the layshaft bearings on the way. Thanks to all !! Karl

I'm new to the list, but not new to LBC's. Had a '69 Midget back in the mid-70's, raced a Healey 100-6 in the early '70's, drove TR's in the mid-60's thru mid-80's, had a TC for 20 years, etc., etc.,

A week or two ago I decided to sell some Triumph parts I had left over, as I had no more Triumphs. First, thanks for the great response - several listers bought parts that I didn't need. God works in

Why are almost all trailer tires now radials ? That's the one place I really want stiff-walled bias-ply tires, but it's almost impossible to find anything but a radial in trailer sizes nowadays. Karl

It's also in the WIX catalog - any FLAPS that carries WIX filters (definitely NAPA and Carquest) can order it for you. I paid about $4 for one a month ago, including Cook County Illinois sales tax -

Revington offers several different lengths in the same spring-rate (for the fronts anyway) so it's quite possible to make a set of "compensated" front springs. And they have the aluminum spacer for t

As Randall pointed out earlier, the spacer actually drops that side of the car, as the axle is on top of the leaf springs. Interestingly, BTW, the TR4 parts manual only lists left and right springs f

They use a Herald engine - everything else is either sourced from various German cars, or special for Amphicar. Even the intake manifold is special - it uses a single Solex with a marine anti-backfir

FWIW, my '71 TR6 came from the factory with 90-weight gear oil in its OD gearbox, when I bought it new in December of 1970. The OD began to slip at about 20,000 miles, which I initially misdiagnosed

The comment about the CEI kit is because (I believe) there was a recall, or at least a large number of failures with the OPUS distributor, and a great many were retrofitted to the CEI configuration.

Maybe you don't need a new distributor. My wife's '78 1500 Midget (extremely unmolested except for this change) was retrofitted with the CEI unit, but the distribtuor itself is still the original OPU

On the original ('71 at least) TR6 muffler here's a plug on the right side rear, opposite the inlet pipe. That plug caps the inlet portion of the muffler - there's a baffle pipe with holes all around

There are lots of ways to safety-wire fasteners. Bolts can have safety-wire through the head or the shank (near the end of the threads). If you wire through the threads of the bolt, you should use a
