This was a topic that started on the 6-Pack list, and in the hope that what I have learned might benefit others on the Britcar forum, I am posting the info here as well.
Put briefly, I was interested in using studs for retaining the main bearings in the rebuild of my TR6 engine. After a lot of discussion on the 6Pack list, it appeared that others had managed to use the ARP main bearing stud kit designed for the TR& on the TR6. But after a lot of asking, I was unable to find out what they had done.
I was intrigued since the front main bearing is covered by the aluminium sealing bar, and they're ain't a lot of room to fit studs, so I went ahead and did all the measurements and calculations, and low and behold, it is a very simple process, and I have written it up in the hope that others will find it useful.
