Do NOT use "auto-fill" to fill in the registration form!! 90% of the time, "auto-fill" does not provide the correct information in the registration fields. Due to the large number of spammers we get (who always use auto-fill on forms), we must approve all new registrations before you can post. If your registration form is not filled in correctly we will assume you are a bot and you will not be approved. Note that some information is required and some is optional.

I had installed the Moss narrow belt conversion with a dampener pulley a couple of years ago. it seemed to perform well & I was happy with the results.....right up until the pulley failed. turns out the woodruff key was only partially covered by the pulley boss. But you could not see that from the front, because the spacer blocks your view. the key gradually rockered back and finally broke off, allowing the pulley to spin on the hub, wallowing ...
After noticing a power drop-off after the car had been running awhile & watching the temp. gauge gradually creep up. I looked into a cold air intake system for my TR3A.

I'm going to try and give a detailed account, here: I had been postponing this job for over a year. Primarily because there was no complete professional instructions I could find, in one place. This top is a Robbins everflex sold by TRF. It was a previous return item so I got it for about $200.00 over a year ago. Installation is really a pretty simple job & I had installed a tonneau of the same material a while back. I guess a lot of the ...

all five locks on my car needed a different key: doors: different one each (universal question: why bother having locking doors on a TR3?) trunk glovebox ignition When I was tightening down a wobbly door handle, I broke a stud. That got the ball rolling. started looking closely at all the hardware and didn't like the pitting & rather dull chrome. Moss offers a set that are all keyed the same. ($175.00). That was the catalyst. ...
