Hmm —

I can see where the fellow who came up with the phrase  “10 pounds in a 5 pound box”  got its inspiration  — Bill’s TDr project!!

Keep squeezing’ Bill ……What Fun!!

Happy Jack

Actually you can order them via the MOSS part number from Little British Car Co. for around $10 less than ordering directly from Moss…go figure!!

you can also get them from Moss Motors:

I know, wrong thread but…

It does look like the Air and Auto show in Va Beach is off for this year.  I got this from First Settlers yesterday — in part ..

“Air & Auto Classic attendees, volunteers, sponsors and vendors:We’d like to thank you for supporting our show, some of you for many years. Due to your generosity, together we’ve raised…[Read more]

Still plugging along but I do tend to get sidetracked away from the mundane and toward the more exciting stuff —

Found a used, Triumph TR4  LeCerra steering wheel with the Boss and all of the mounting hardware and horn push on eBay at a really great price…This set turned out to be an old MOSS UK kit from the early 2000’s…so it makes it not…[Read more]

Thinking back what I actually did was to use a punch and hammer to push the pin out and then I used a drill and drill bit to clean out the hinge barrel so that the machine screw fit in easily.  I found out the hard way that the hinge pin is bigger on one end (the end that has serrations to hold the pin in) and should be driven out from the small…[Read more]

Royal was over helping me…[Read more]

Progress, Progress…

…Looks really good!!  I really like the gauge arrangement…Neat!!

Hey Bill —

I’m gunna have to get me some of those Rivnuts!!

So the fenders stay on and you can lift the cowl panels off the car (after taking the front grill off???)

Could I do the same if I use nuts and bolts per the kit build manual?

(I have just a touch of experience with using Rivets — the electric retracting running boards that I…[Read more]

WOW — It’s been a while since I posted my progress on my Ford-based TDr project.

I’m ashamed to admit it but I am WAY slower than Bill and Ed when it comes to my project…but slow and sure is how I look at my slow and plodding progress…

I did get and installed seat heaters… Yea!!!  Thanks Bill for the idea.

Then I went on to the dash.…[Read more]
