I believe there was a large run of them made (and shared by the big three) that were "less than adequate". Many theories as to what was wrong with them, but AFAIK none of them were actually proven t

I'm not even convinced that is a problem with the TR box, as there is a travel limit on the shift rail that I believe should hit before the hub reaches the end of its travel. But I could be mistaken

The TR250 and early TR6 did come with cheesy hub caps and extended mounting studs; but they didn't look at all like TR3 hubcaps. Instead they had 5 fake lug nuts and 5 chrome "spokes" on a black back

If the alternator and ammeter are working properly, then you should see a strong charge indication immediately after starting the engine. How strong depends a bit on your alternator and installation

FWIW, Craig, the temperature gauge movement is basically identical to the voltmeter (except for the resistance of the internal heater). When I started investigating the voltmeter on my Stag, I discov

I don't recall offhand which one I settled on, but the 7/8" width will work with our pulleys. In truth, neither 3/4" nor 7/8" is exactly correct, but both are "close enough". However, since the 7/8"

Sounds like you are looking for P/N 502355. However, it's a lot longer than 24", more like 10 feet, because it has to run from the control head down through the steering box and then back up to the

PS, the Moss part number is 356-410. British Wiring SC-94. Anyone know why BW says it doesn't fit TR3B? Should be identical to the late 3A AFAIK. -- Randall

I believe they were made by Wheelskins. Check out their web site, or look for them on e-bay (which is about $10 cheaper). You'll have to give them the measurements of your steering wheel, but the on

Yes, but those reasons were probably things like saving a few cents on shorter cables, or a few seconds on the assembly line. It's not likely they have much to do with us today. -- Randall

Something on the left side is reducing current flow. Could be almost anywhere, but the ground for the rear lamp would be a good place to start looking. The factory ground through the mounting screws

Alex, IMO your first problem is to figure out what is going on with the carbs. You should not need to change the needle in order to get them as lean as you like at idle. If that is not the case, then

Time for new glass! You probably can, with great effort, polish out the scratches. But the surface of the glass will be distorted, meaning that your view through the glass will also be distorted. Ki

The skirt does nothing until the thermostat opens, and then it only improves cooling (if in fact it does anything at all). So switching to a skirted thermostat will only help because your old thermo

Just curious, how are you setting the timing? The vacuum retard retards the timing by around 15 degrees, so it normally produces a large reduction in idle rpm. But if you are following what many book
