Very rare GT6+ lens apparently https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283381069079

MIght be able to help. Emailled you at work

Didn't you knock a bit off the chopper as well once? I have used Piranha systems on 3 of my cars for many years now.

In tend to get there Midday Saturday, hope to bring the TR6, though just seen that super unleaded is almost £1.50 a litre, so definitely going to need a passenger to share the cost. £7 a gallon. Not impressed. 😞

Good question. not a saloon one as it will tilt the gearbox. TR one I find the GT6 one isn't right. Hopefully someone will pop up with right answer

I was going to say, don't use a saloon flywheel! But you beat me to it. 🙂 it is approaching 60 in second, then add OD on second (easily done on a later saloon box) and you are up round 70.

I think I know which 2 I would go with, LH top picture and RH bottom picture. Really need to go through all my spares at some point.

I can do about 35 in first in my TR6, but it does scream a bit, that has a Sprint box in it. 3.45 diff I think Not that low... 🙂

Anything TR will have the fat input shaft, which is great for a heavy clutch. yiu can swap it for a saloon one if you don't have a very muscular left leg. If you find a Sprint input shaft you will still need a saloon input shaft as well.

Insert or offset? the 5.5j steels are usually 16.

Hopefully it is the J type you were enquiring about on Facebook, A type much harder. May be not possible. I think the chassis mods are more if you move engine back.

I co-incidentally work for the same company as Pete immediately above, but well away from the stuff with big numbers. Started working life with such exciting jobs as packing empty toothpaste tubes into boxes for shipping to Africa to be filled, and eating tomatoes (couple of pounds every day for 3 weeks) as quality control for M&S. Also had to analyse acidity and sugar content. If there ever was a job to put you off something for life, that is it. A few years stocking shelves part time, and once finished at Poly I started doing IT hardware support, that has slowly morphed into software support as all hardware is now throwaway. Though I am a master at sweating assets and am the only one of the 10 in my team that will actually get a screwdriver out. Really annoys the users who would get a new laptop if they worked in a different office. Only ever really applied for the one job, all subsequent ones have been via TUPE. After 25 years of 3rd party work we were taken in house, they doubled our wages and sadly we now have to work for a living. Didn't bank on that at my age. Used to travel all over the South East, now sit staring at a screen for hours on end. Thankfully I am 55 in a few months and can retire, though hoping for redundancy, not looking good on that front at the moment. Deskside support is not a major part of the companies ongoing plans, as we move to Win10 and a fully remote setup, so perhaps there won't be a role for me any more... 🙂

You may wish to try to clean and retain some of the original parts as the new ones may be of a lesser quality. Certainly don't throw anything away. And try and find all the parts that have been removed already.

My starting point is usually 1990s VW Golf 2.0 petrol. lots of choice at good prices.

I too can't get my head round it either, but it was mentioned number of time on the old old CT forum. There is one thing I have noticed, my J-type equipped cars seem to upset the synchro on 3rd if I forget to disengage it, where as the A-type and D-type ones don't. Seems to imply more rotating mass.

Sent the money yesterday I hope. Cheers

I am sure I was told there is more losses in a J- type due to the way it works, compared to D-type. A-type is just a big d-type isn't it? might be rubbish of course.

You can redrill a new set of holes in the rear flange, to match propshaft. I have a few boxes thus equipped,

Any chance of relieving you of a set of STD, 5 and 15? cheers Colin

Which car is the Phantom in?

I purchased some kits recently, they really are quite poor. i may be raiding some old shafts in search of usable bits. Or ring Mr Witor. He has been a bit hard to get hold of lately apparently.

Original would have been a Radiomobile 1070 I think. https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/radiomobil_1070.html I have a dead 1070 in the hole, and a Bluetooth speaker sat in front of it running from my mobile phone. Speaker goes in glove box when not in use, and phone in my pocket

Probably just clean up, but new are not that expensive. If you struggle with getting shipping on parts whilst the politicians sort themselves out, you may need to look east to Germany for some parts.

Fitchetts have had lots of NOS carpets on Ebay lately, have you rung them to ask if they can keep an eye out for you?
