Mechfeeney, I used Dynamat in the doors when I reassembled my J-H to give the doors a nice solid sound when closing. ...   03-27-2019 03:11 pm

The Baby Tornado is a great period correct upgrade for '70s cars, they're bigger, provide better visibility and (IMHO)look better as well. I've installed BTs ...   03-25-2019 04:25 pm

Mechfeeney, Have you noticed a difference with the addition of Dynamat to the trunk? Moss sells ...   03-25-2019 03:28 pm

Tim, FYI, when I did a valve adjustment a few years ago I didn't find it necessary to remove the head, only the ...   03-15-2019 04:59 pm

Steve, You say it runs "fairly well", is fairly well something you can live with? I would think $2700 would buy "runs like ...   03-15-2019 04:12 pm

flat, I have been following your tale of woe. What I heard was your car was running good then suddenly it wasn't, it ...   03-14-2019 04:19 pm

Looks like we've reached an impasse, I'm going to stick with my $25 Facet and you're going to stick with your $200 SU. BTW, I ...   02-19-2019 03:13 pm

The Facet pump is pretty lightweight, I'm not sure it would make a very good boat anchor. Maybe you've just had bad luck, but I ...   02-18-2019 06:46 pm

I realize I'm late to the party but can some one explain to me exactly what a Pete's Kit is? ...   02-18-2019 06:13 pm

I'm surprised he kept it as long as he did, it sounds like a lot more hate than love in that relationship. While it was ...   02-10-2019 05:09 pm

JohnRLB, Sorry about your fat feet but I've got a pair of Fred Flintstones myself and I've never had a problem ...   02-09-2019 03:37 pm

Another option for floor mats has just come to my attention, Coco Mats. Some of the Austin-Healey guys have found a site that makes custom ...   02-06-2019 03:51 pm

Patrick, Aftermarket plexiglass sun visors for the TR-3 are(or were) available from Moss Motors. I adapted a set for my Austin-Healey. It might ...   02-05-2019 05:25 pm

I've just ordered a carpet kit from McGregor. They have a black one in stock but I needed a brown one so they have to ...   02-04-2019 06:47 pm

If you want to stay stock just about any tire available on the market will be fine since they all have to meet certain federal ...   02-03-2019 02:28 pm

This is an interesting subject, it makes me wonder how many guys have a hardtop parked permanently in their garages. I think a lot of ...   01-31-2019 05:14 pm

I had a pair of old sun visors which had turned to bags of sand which they typically do. I was going to send them ...   01-31-2019 04:36 pm

Another thing to consider is interest in the vehicle or it's desirability, which may or may not have to do with performance or original price. ...   01-23-2019 05:29 pm

It's your car, your choice of course but I can't see cluttering that gorgeous, expansive rear deck with a luggage rack. I had one on ...   01-21-2019 04:41 pm

dthewlis, I'm just getting ready to redo my interior, is that a Rejen interior or did you have it done locally? ...   01-21-2019 04:22 pm

That's one way to put it. I don't see the point of swapping one 2 liter 4 cyl for another. Maybe if you were going ...   01-21-2019 03:58 pm

Steve, There's a reason the TR6 unit is "everyone's go-to", it works and it's cheap and readily available. After fussing with ...   01-16-2019 05:36 pm

Tom, Thanks for that detailed response, just what I was looking for. Right now I'm leaning toward the Rejen leather seat ...   01-10-2019 02:51 pm

I haven't seen anything posted recently on Delta seat covers. Has anyone purchased and installed a set lately? If so how was the quality and ...   01-09-2019 03:37 pm

With the problem fixed(not solved)it leaves me wondering if it will return since I couldn't figure out how the gas got in in the first ...   01-07-2019 08:24 pm

Red, When I examined the float for leaks I did notice the depressions left by the wire attachment but the plastic, while depressed ...   01-05-2019 07:56 pm

After completing bodywork and paint and getting everything reassembled and buttoned up I fired it up and the gas gauge showed about 1/4 tank, after ...   01-05-2019 06:03 pm

JGriff, I replaced my original pump with a Facet 25 years ago, it still works fine and that's without any kind of ...   12-25-2018 06:43 pm

Tim, A very interesting and thoughtful post. I think you're right, in the eight years since your original post I'd say prices ...   12-25-2018 12:18 am

JPJH, MacGregor in Canada lists that chrome finisher part for 7 or 8 bucks. I've ordered other parts from them and been pleased ...   12-23-2018 02:18 pm

If TR4s and TR6s had that problem I could see that since those two cars have the same bones. The TR7, however is a completely ...   12-22-2018 06:56 pm

Tim, The stripes are just something I've been considering, they're not expensive, not permanent, I can tape them in place or even ...   12-22-2018 03:29 pm

You learn something new everyday. I'm guessing those manifolds wouldn't have been a good choice for the 24hrs of LeMans. ...   12-22-2018 03:02 pm

Anyone know of a supplier that still carries them? I called Delta they said they no longer stock them. ...   12-21-2018 08:49 pm

Wow, thanks for the link Red, I definitely see a set of Lloyd floor mats in my Jensen-Healey's future. ...   12-21-2018 05:20 pm

Thanks for the reply Brett, I think "expect to pay more" pretty much goes with the territory. While the original is a ...   12-20-2018 04:29 pm

Mitch, My J-H as well as my TR7 came with those original mirrors as did a lot of other '70s Brit cars. I ...   12-20-2018 03:30 pm

Now that the new paint is on I'm getting ready to redo the interior. I'm starting with the carpeting but I haven't seen much posted ...   12-20-2018 12:01 am

Now that I've finished the exterior the interior is looking very tired, so now it's time to do the interior. I'm going to start with ...   12-19-2018 11:43 pm
