Hey all, Pat here. Things have been a bit quite in this group for a few weeks so I thought I'd rattle the cage a bit. ;-) We've had quite a few new people...
Hey Patrick and everyone else! Joe Frakes here, another of the Spitfire guys (for those of you that went to Papa's Toys, I was the guy sitting on the side of...

Hello Pat, and everyone - I'm Carl Tiller, I have a '73 TR6 which I found in a wheat farmer's barn in Eastern Washington last August. I joined your club a...
Very cool. There are a lot of TR6 owners in the club so I'm sure you'll find all the information you need (and twice as much you didn't know you needed <g>). ...
"and half as much again as you did not need to know!" Hi Pat, looks like you breathed life back into the ol' chat group, mostly our newest members though,...

Hello all - Bruce Uberti here. I'm in Vancouver and I JUST bought a 1974 TR6 (December 11, to be exact). This is my first British sports car. I drove a TR6...
My aunt just sent along a link to this Spitfire for sale on Craigslist. The three old cars I already have are a challenge to keep up and running all at once,...
OK. So I just bought the car, and now I think it's running too rich. Idle is at 1000 to 1200 before it starts to sputter. I'd like someone who really knows...
Bruce: The panel lights dim over the years because the lightbulbs darken. Before you start cursing Lucas, prince of darkness, try relamping all the instruments...

Thanks for the reply, Vance. I read about the Prince of Darkness, but haven't gone far enough to curse him yet! The wiring looks good as far as I can see from...
Bruce, Sometimes dim lights could be a bad ground if the light replacement doesn't work... Vaughn ... From: PTOA@yahoogroups.com [mailto:PTOA@yahoogroups.com]...
Thanks, Vaughn. I'm a computer geek by trade, so I DO know my way around a multimeter. Need to get Dan Masters' TR6 Electrical Maintenance Handbook, and I'll...
For what it's worth, my 'panel dimming' (hasn't everyone had this happen?) was down to bad earthing behind the dash. Well, I say 'bad earth'.. it was more...
I think Lucas must have planted the tree that took out the power to my house for the last three days! ;-) I don't know of anyone on the west side of Vanc....
Patrick: Don't forget about Keith Ansell's shop in Brush Prairie. He is not too far away and is pretty knowledgeable. He also advertises in the TRAX. Dennis ...

Hi Patrick, I do, but I'm not sure how to post them and I don't know if my computer would be able to do it. I tried sending some pics to a friend of mine and...
Hello, I was hoping to get some advice on my 1980 TR7 passenger door that I closed last week but cannot open again. Door will not open from outside or inside,...
Tony: I own an 80 TR7 and occasionally experience the same thing--the door will not open. When I bought the car it came with a collection of reviews bound into...
Bruce's suggestion is correct. I too have experienced this. Once you get the door open, spray some WD-40 on the sliding plate in the alignment receiver which...
Tony as Bruce said That is how to get the door open. Then when you get it open lube the alignment guide (for a lack of a better name for it). Use a clear...
Hey Everyone, I am considering taking the plunge and buying one of the Roadster Factory's front suspension magic kits. I was told that the front suspension on...
Pete, All the TR's front ends are pretty basic. You can either buy a spring compressor tool (Moss has then for around $50) or go to the hardware store and get...
Pete, FWIW I personally would go with rubber. I think that the urethane bushings make things a bit harsh. Cheers, Bruce ... From: PTOA@yahoogroups.com...
