Kurt, did you notice much of a change in steering effort? Mike ...   05-13-2011 01:11 am

Beautiful car. Nice job you've done with it. Mike ...   05-10-2011 07:54 pm

I'm thinking fiberglass precisely because it would be easier to undo. She's a complete, 100% original car and someday it may make sense to ...   05-02-2011 07:19 pm

So I've finally been able to restart the work on 10628; the work project that was supposed to end a year ago drags on. ...   05-02-2011 06:05 am

No doubt someone can tell you in more detail what needs to be done, but If I were up the proverbial creek without a paddle, ...   04-10-2011 12:32 am

As far as I've always known it's fine to install just a front bar with no rear.  Many cars come so configured.  My JH has just ...   04-10-2011 12:01 am

Hi, As I've described elsewhere, I'm the second owner of 10628.  The original owner (OO) bought her new, sight unseen in 1973 based on preview reviews in ...   09-20-2010 11:52 pm

I fit new, not rebuilt, TR7/Spitfire Girling 16s procured from Rock Auto to 10628.  Other than a different mounting bolt (the caliper mounting hole is slightly ...   09-07-2010 06:24 pm

Spin the assembly while tightening, then back off. There will be slight drag from the grease; it won't spin all that freely. (Caliper adds even ...   09-02-2010 11:22 pm

Sounds exactly like a problem I had with an old Ford pick-up truck -- the caliper wasn't releasing completely causing the judder after just a ...   08-31-2010 01:10 am

I installed a Jorge tank about a year ago, with good success.  I ground down the Jorge-supplied supplied plastic ring so it would work as ...   06-13-2010 06:44 pm

Sounds like major progress and a net upgrade to boot. I'm finally back to more of a routine at home after spending virtually all winter and ...   06-07-2010 04:21 pm

Thanks for the tip.  Are you to the point where it's going back together? ...   06-07-2010 03:44 pm

Good to know about having the distributor in place.  I likely would have made the same mistake. Great blog, well-written and great photography. Mike ...   04-16-2010 05:08 am

Coincidentally I discovered I had the same problem as you when I took 10628 out for the first time this season.  I had what I ...   04-14-2010 12:40 am

Not sure what I did to offend you. I had some information of possible use and I gave it. As I said, the manufacturers ...   04-12-2010 01:46 am

They are listed as interchange by the manufacturers (not me personally) and are not necessarily exact replacement. For a throwout bearing, as long ...   04-11-2010 08:15 pm

Hi, you don't need to completely remove the column, you just need to be able to slide the shaft up a couple/few inches.  From memory, remove ...   04-11-2010 03:53 am

The Conversion Component kit (mine, anyway!) uses a Nachi throwout bearing, 40 TRK30W 2SB.  This converts to NSK TK40-16AU3 and SKF VKC-3578  The Nachi dimensions ...   04-10-2010 08:52 pm

I haven't started on my W58 conversion, but I was concerned that the throwout bearing provided in Colin's kit may be a cheap knock-off so ...   03-31-2010 03:56 am

Hi, Mitch-- I had the same issues when I picked up my '73. My vote is the headlight switch itself -- Delta Motorsports carries a functionally identical switch, ...   01-01-2010 07:34 pm
