It's a Pitty they dint put an extended version on the internet or something. One with more details. I love the way they skim over the bodywork etc and suddenly it has a perfect body for the paint job !! If only ! Wasn't there a thread on here about the owner wanting to revert back to normal aspiration? Or was that another car? Aidan

Is this the one fuzz changed to fuel injection?

Welcome from a Mk1 owner now and a similar story I had a mk3 in the late 80's and was a member then !! Aidan

Couldn't agree more. My car has turned out well. I was still 100 plus miles away but spent many years in Pete's patch.

I think you have hit the nail on the head. It depends on what your willing to spend. It's definitely a good idea to go for the club moulded carpet, pricey but much much easier to fit. For soundproofing I used the fibre one which I'd give an ok to. Someone who has fitted different types would be best to answer which is the best

I use Blue for fuel applications and TBH most other uses to ! Ebay Item number 261806670754 Aidan

Hi Pete No plans to drill holes through my side windows Fine for the race track etc, but a bit odd on a road only car ! but Johns knowledge is still very useful. The intent is to make something that is easily detachable to get back to the standard car if necessary. The heat issue has improved with the bulk head sealing but I still think driving next summer may be improved with an increased air flow around the feet and through the cabin, especially with the windows open Never been one for Sandals or bare feet driving!! Purchased some moldable plastic to make a test scoop, the card one was too flexible and flew off at 20 mph! Aidan

I think Kevin is correct Heat (energy) can neither be destroyed or created it can only be converted as I remember it Aidan

Hi John Thanks for your input. Is there any reason why a redesign of your "tubes" that would sit on the air intakes before the windscreen would not also work? I have also gone over everything to try and seal up the bulkhead. Any thoughts out there on methods to find leaks? Aidan

I use paddocks most of the time as their prices are generally better and they have free delivery over ten pounds. Just be aware though the prices shown are exc vat. Aidan

All Well I am going to see if I can fabricate something. My thoughts are that this if it works will be a really simple solution to increase the cabin Aiirflow thereby maling it cooler - Probably will need the quarter light windows combined will make a massive difference, hopefully easy to fit and remove and made from a plastic, as most scoops are. I will let you know if successful Aidan

Hi, Talked with a Steve Hunt on this describing the symptoms of the slow speed. He said that that "If a speed is slow that would be the field coil" So i think I am back to Re-Wind I'm afraid Aidan

Thanks All Any recommendations on a company to refurbish the motor? Aidan

Thanks guys I have gone round everywhere to seal up the bulkhead and there is a distinct improvement Pete pointed out the hole for the wiper cables and that started me going! Pete in principle then a small scoop on the intake vents would work? If so I'm thinking of making something that could be removeable and only used in the summer. Not sure of what material yet Aidan

As we all know you can tell the GT6 driver because he is the one in the shorts and T shirt! Has anyone considered making small detachable air scoops to sit on top of the front deck grills to force more air in when its a warm day? I know its a bit of an odd one, but I was driving the car a few days ago, the wind must have been blowing in an odd direction, and my cabin cooled off, in fact so much so I actually had to open the heating up to warm up a bit! (No i wasn't ill and had a temperature! Aidan

Oh yes sorry just to add, can someone confirm how the motor comes out? I have in the back of my mind it comes out with the rack cable? Is there another way? Aidan

Hi All Reviving this thread as at last I am back to a refurb Can anyone recommend a suitable company / person to refurbish my motor unit? The company I did look at seems not to be there any more Thanks Aidan

Just checked and my gauge is about right 180 F is 82.2 C ! Motorway driving it sits at 190F or 87C. So I guess that's nothing to worry about Aidan Sorry for the bit of drift

one more question for everyone! What is the "correct" running temperature for our cars? i dont man the temperature the gauge might read, more the actual temperature from a more accurate instument like a thermometer Hugh, if you were running between 70 and 80 degrees surely your thermostat would never be open? 82 degrees? i know my gauge is somewhat out the thermostat opens at around 180 Fahrenheit (sorry for mixing scales!) Aidan BTW I realise all cars are different - so a range?

Thanks John I will check again. I had a flow but it was while the engine was at tick over it certainly wasn't a gush ! Aidan

Hi Is there a way to estimate how efficiently a water pump is working without a strip down? Aidan

Just as a final post on this thread I have been able to take two heater control cables and join the outer cable together using the female of a Lucas connector. This is exactly the right size to clamp the two outers together. I have also soldered the joint but this is probably not necessary. I have replaced the inner piano wire (1.5mm) from fleabay. All complete and ready to fit. Aidan

Doug I have one fitted as I have a dual oil pressure and temperature gauge. It works on a capillary action so heating the sender expands and pushes a fluid which in turn moves tha gauge. The only issue with them is that you can't take the capillary apart so to remove the gauge you also have to take out the sender and connecting tube/pipe Aidan

Karl Pete has a term for this kind of thing! Can't remember it exactly! but Triumphs are b***r for it! Aidan
