I took it home and refitted the seats and trim and the new 2 piece Racetorations gearbox tunnel. Took it for a run and...

    TR2/3/3A Water Pump Housing Bypass

    This topic has been discussed in some way many times and there are different opinions about the bypass with a sleeveless thermostat: to block or not to block, partially block, or it doesn't matter However, I understand at TR4A time the Triumph engineers opted for an un-sleeved thermostat with...

    TR4/4A Will these tires/wheels work on my 1966 TR4a, IRS?

    I have a chance to get a set of 4 72 spoke 15" rims with Kumho ECSTA 195/65R/15 tires already mounted. The tires are wider for sure, which should give me better handling, and they're a bit taller, and the 72 spoke wheel should make for smoother riding. I currently have the original wire wheels...
