Beans, as ever, everything is so shiny!! I notice you have some rubber on the fresh air scoop where it fits the bulkhead, is this edge rubber, or a self adhesive foam rubber? cant quite make it out from the photo, good idea as I know mine rattles about. 1980 Triumph TR7 DHC Cashmere Gold HCR09/LCC09/CLM2010/HCR2011 (DNF) 1981 Triumph TR7 FHC Persian Aqua Blue - now sold http://www.andys-tr7.co.uk Now shut down. http://andystr7blog.blogspot.com/ Previous Triumphs TR7 FHC Auto - Carmine Red Triumph Dolomite Sprint - Mimosa Yellow |

Quoted from TRixie7 Sorry just removed them, as they are the spare set for my FHC Sprint ... Only used them for getting the suspensions alignement checked (they are damaged already and need to be refurbished sooner or later) Got the car MOT-ed today and alignment checked. so time for its intended wheels to be fitted ... ![]() ![]() Looks much more 70's, which I like very much. And gives much nicer handling compared to the 15" wheels. Not as sharp and precise as ![]() 1976 TR7 FHC (currently undergoing some TLC ...) 1980 TR7 DHC (a.k.a.

Well done Beans! Must admit it does look good (for a TR7 that is) although must agree with the above, it needs those Revolutions. 1969 2.5 PI (Now 2.5PIE, running on EFI ) 1971 GT6 mk3 (still going strong)
