Its a TV show , I watch this show lots, its sits in the background when i am on the PC. I saw this one, entertaining, just to see a spit. I think the bonnet could have been panel beaten, the chassis repair as the easiest given it had been in a bump and the old bit already missing. Anyway like most triumphs they did what they needed to make it fit , which if we are honest is what they did at the factory if lucky.

Found an option here if you are interested Classic Driving Development | Engineering Improvement to Classic Cars | Triumph MG TVR Morgan Triumph -TR4 TR5 TR6 TR7 Triumph Stag / Innsbruck TVR M series MGC

Interested in this . I use my 7 as a daily drive so been upgrading various things , vented front discs with 4 pot calipers,EFI , LED headlights etc. Steering is fine on the 7 fitted roller bearing on the top but still heavy when manoeuvring out the garage. Keep us posted on what you have done .

That would work if all four ports were sucking at the same time but only one is sucking. Although no expert on this either.

Looks like some lovely work there

Mine is rotten as a pear look up stag rescue.....

At present cold weather has stopped play. The car is in an unheated garage so I only tend to go in in warmer months as its a hobby not punishment. I have also been tinkering with my TR7 and doing some decorating in the house. I think the description of dilapidated is not a bad one to be fair. I usually underestimate how much work is needed.

Anyone got a stag passenger door for sale/spare. I am in Worcestershire.

I like the rally spoiler on the front, toyed with getting one on mine

is that the correct one for spin on conversion?

Anyone know where Spitfire HEC381N . Gov UK says last V5 issued in 2019. I have a colleague who used to own it and they are interested in what became of it.

Spin on conversion. The oil is a better quality one as well. The blue print filters are just coming on the market I imagine they come from the far east.

Fitted an oil Pressure gauge changed the oil to Valvoline 20/50 also swapped the oil filter from the blue print one to a borg and beck (both from Rob Sport.) The oil pressure now is not slow to build light goes out quickly the gauge showing 40 when cold idle about 30 when warm. Maybe the cheaper oil, maybe the change of oil filter who knows!

Hi anyone have any ideas for low oil pressure build up on a TR7 engine. The engine has just been rebuilt with +10 bearing +20 pistons. I had slow build up of oil pressure so opted for a new oil pump, and its still no good. I am using a cheaper oil at the moment for running in a 20/50 mineral oil from Opie oils. I have some valvoline 20/50 Valvoline All-Climate 20w-50 High Quality Engine Oil (opieoils.co.uk) to go in at next change. The old engine was better although it was well worn on the cylinder bores. I am thinking the Jackshaft was probably worn the bearings which will mean line bore and some shells inserted. I have removed the water pump and replaced with an electric one. The Dizzy only drives the oil pump now although it does provide a cam signal for the ecu. Any other thoughts/quick fixes before I engage in more engine surgery

I have the timing at 22 BTDC for idle it just dies, it will restart with some revs but dies when lifting off the accelerator.
