  1. Sorry would have loved to be there but will be out of the country probably next time have a really good evening
  2. Just read your restoration post on the stag what a brave skilled man you are I have done a few restorations as a hobby on smaller cars than yours but not quite as delapidated as yours . How are you with it at present
  3. I asked a friend of mine to bring me a set of snap on ratchet spanner’s back when he was next on a trip to the USA I finished up with a cheap Walmart set he said the others were rather expensive . That aside they are useful when you have the room to use them
  4. I was there about 20 years ago in my 4a along with other triumphs from the South Downs group (tr register) even then the tiled floor of I think either shell or esso emblem had been taken up ie stolen what a shame
  5. If under a tenner I would think a really good thank you is in order along with a buy you a pint next time I see you
  6. I live near Newark on Trent or just recently in Trent
  7. Any chance of a half pint one for half price 😀😀
  8. Ok will try again(when it’s warmer) and use all new shims we’re is the cheapest place to get them from
  9. Any chance of a picture of what we will be getting for our hard earned cash
  10. Yes I have used a surface grinder to reduce the shims to the required size thought such a small shim even only case hardened would be hardened to quite a depth on a small shim .
  11. I have a 82 standard tr7 I am constantly resetting the valve clearances at about 2500 mile intervals could it be due to wear in the cam followers I have never looked at these just reground and refitted the shims
  12. Who do I submit a written piece to for getting it in the magazine name and email would be good
  13. Merry Christmas and a healthy new year and thanks for the memories (RBRR)
  14. As I stated earlier I have constructed my very robust bench and fitted wheels to each leg ( I am a retired joiner) I have been using it for the last 5 years it has presently got a fully fitted out 1300 cc a series engine sat on it ready for fitting into my mini no problems what so ever in carrying this weight I also stand on it to get to the high reach shelves my lathe is free standing my linisher bench drill and grinder sit on there own bench . Wheels mean you can move it we’re ever you want and I can assure you if manufactured using the correct materials and procedures is stable
  15. When I made mine I fitted lockable wheels on the bottom and glad I did it’s really stable when locked and handy when you want to move it around sorry I am late in posting on this topic
  16. If you went what did you think of this years NEC car show , my opinion for what it’s worth Too much bull and shine not enough real lived in cars that are used , not enough parts suppliers there and not enough auto jumble thirdly when will they do something about the car parking prices other that I enjoyed it
  17. Don’t you use more fuel with the lights on continuously ?
  18. It would be nice to find out what percentage of cars arrived back at Knebworth by model ie if 4 tr7 started out and only 3 finished that would equate to 75 percent or is this being a bit nit picking
  19. Totally agree with cook1e when some of my sponsors see this “ tip” they don’t bother with the donation or they have given me cash to put in on there behalf. I did bring this up a few months ago
  20. 2 litre tr7 home to home 2281 miles 63.27gals which in my reckoning is 36.05 mpg and really had to boot the old girl to make up a little bit of lost time
