The seats on the TR2 & TR3 were the same design, but different in that TR2 hadself coloured piping, whereas the TR3 had white piping. We have available, asmentioned earlier, a virtually guaranteed supply of red, black and blue seatcovers, including leather. Originally, the full range of colours offered onTR2/TR3 included; black, blue, red, brown, grey, geranium and stone.

TR3 Front Seat Covers
Passengers climbing into the back of TR2’s - apart from being brave, werefaced with a major obstacle course, as the seats did not tip forward. TheTR3 introduced the option of the passengers seat, left hand on RHD, righthand on LHD, that tipped forward for ‘ease’ of access to the rear seat. Thedrivers seat is always of a fixed design.

The full range of colours for theTR3A seat cover originally was: black, brown, red, grey, blue, Silverstone grey,beige and targo purple. White Leather was also an option - no comment!

TR2/TR3/3A
Introduction To Moss TR2 & TR3 Interior Trim
Although Moss Europe have been the major body panel supplier for theTR2 to TR4A range of cars since the days of Cox & Buckles (1975), we nevergave a prime focus or commitment to a similar development of the trimrange, particularly for the TR2/3/3A. Until now.
The reason for this apparent lack of commitment is the unfortunate rangeof diverse and difficult to obtain colours offered as standard by Triumphwhen they were building the cars. There is a plethora of informationconcerning the different options of body colour and interior trim colour(and also complementary sidescreen colours), but unfortunately, Triumphwere like all manufactures using material of a specification that was easilyavailable at the time of the building the cars. As the years have gone on, theavailability of material has diminished considerably.There is usually a horrendous manufacturing minimum which precludemaking the odd set of seat covers or trim kit, as you would be left with arather large amount of Targo Purple in stock after you had built your oneseat cover set and trim kit. Incidentally we have sold Targo Purple piecesobtained from a Triumph salvage specialist and the colour is absolutelyappaling. We actually have, still in our possession to this day, Targo Purpledraught excluder, and, we have certainly sold a large number of glove boxlids trimmed in this less than wonderful colour.
With the publication of our catalogue, we committed in print, part numbersfor the black, red, and blue specifications. These were effectively the onlyspecifications available on TR4 & TR4A, and indeed, our coverage of the TR4range of interior trim and seats is almost complete. For the earlier cars, wewill be pleased to obtain any special colour or variant of a colour that youwould require for trimming your car but, due to the vast range of partnumbers, we are not able to supply these items from stock. Special ordersshould be dealt with by telephoning your local branch of Moss Europe, withas much clarity as possible, describing what you require.
There have been several incidents in our business experience where wehave supplied, for example, a perfect copy of the original Triumph red seatcovers, to be told by the customer that when he received the seat cover, itwas completely different to the colour on his car. We have usuallymanaged to overcome this by persuading the customer to find a piece ofhis trim that has not been through 40+ years of sun, rain, and generalhazards. This usually matches (very closely) the colour that we havesupplied, despite the customers initial scepticism. Special orders are, asyou might expect, likely to take much longer to arrive and will also cost, ingeneral, a fair bit more than the stocked range of products.
Throughout the range of the TR2 to TR4A’s, a leather covering was availableinstead of the standard vinyl finish. In fact, on the first 1200 TR2’s, vinyl wasthe option, and leather was standard. Even up to the TR4A there wasavailable from the factory, an optional leather seat cover. Unfortunately,with the advent of the TR6 and the more modern technologies, togetherwith the higher price of leather, this option was discontinued. Our seatcover range is all described with a prefix of SCA, and this implies a vinylmaterial. If you order a part number beginning SCL with the same partnumber, we will organise the manufacture of a leather seat cover set forthe model that you have specified. Please note that we will make the seatsas the originals were made, which means that the only pieces of leatherused in the construction of the seat cover are those that your back andbottom come into contact with. Contortionists need not disagree with thisstatement. All other ‘non-wearing’ faces will be in vinyl.
We believe that what we sell is genuinely suitable for your car. If you can’tfit what we supply, we will replace or refund without question right up tothe point where you take your scissors to ‘improve’ the fit, and thendiscover that it hasn’t been improved at all. At the point where you usescissors, you become the irrevocable owner of the seat kit; “You cut it, you own it, no returns considered”.If it was wrong we will replace it, but the statistics say it will fit.
IMPORTANT.While we make every effort to match colours as closely as possible; dyelots do vary. For a guaranteed ‘close as humanly possible’ match, it’s bestto order your interior as a complete set ie: seat covers, cockpit trim panelkit, and to be safe, carpets.For free samples of our upholstery materials, please request a sample.

The rear quarter panel was the same,as the earlier TR3A with white piping, but the rear wheel arch cover - whichwas also white piped as the earlier specification, had a different contour toallow for the changed rear floor construction in the post TS60001 cars.

TR2/TR3/3A Carpet Sets
Our carpet sets are available in two grades of material. There is astandard grade of material as used on most Leyland volume cars whichwas not original on the TR2/3/3A, this range has pre-fix of CSA. Althoughthere is a carpet that resembles very closely the TR3A loop pile it is, in fact,extremely uncomfortable to live with, as it actually feels more like astro-turfwhen your flesh gets into close proximity to it. We also have the woolspecification carpet, which is actually the one fitted as standard to the TR6in its early production period, and also to most Jaguars around the late1960’s and early 1970’s, this range has a prefix of CSB.
TR2/3/3A To TS60000 Carpet Sets.There were probably three different carpet sets originally supplied in thisperiod. Certainly, the gearbox tunnel cover which we supply as one piecesewn assembly, was also available as three piece fitment in the early TR2’sand TR3’s. There were also some minor modifications made around the rearsloping section of the floor in this period, but we believe the carpet set weoffer is of a good standard of fit, and only the purist will wish to cut thiscarpet up to make into the original specification - which we do notrecommend. The TR2 and TR3 was originally supplied with carpet on thefloor section in front of the driver and passenger, but the TR3A originallyhad rubber mats here, and was never fitted with carpets. Our carpet setsinclude these for people who do not wish to purchase the rubber mats, orwho wish to use our AMCO rubber mats (see Accessories) over the carpet.

An Introduction To TR4/4A Seats& Seat Cover Kits
The following listings refer to original seats and covers. For our Worldfamous Moss Classic Seats, please see page 13. The TR4 seats were something of a ‘dogs dinner’. There were three differentspecifications fitted throughout the range and, although we have availablethe technical information to give you the exact change points - according tothe body number of your car, this does seem pointless because they go, all-over-the-show, and are different from right hand to left hand drive. So, weplan to supply seat covers based on a drawing of the type of seat you havewith its own part number. This was should minimise the difficulty of yougetting an inappropriate seat cover for your car. You should be aware thatthe three different seat covers are not interchangeable with the threedifferent seats. Should you wish to know what was originally fitted to yourcar, we can provide this information, but you will have to write to our mainoffice in London, giving us not only the chassis number of your car but alsothe colour of trim because, believe it or not, the change points differedaccording to whether the colour was blue, red or black, and, whether thetrim was vinyl or leather. Perhaps now you can see why we have notsummarised the information on the following pages.
The first type of TR4 seat looks almost identical to the TR3A seat. In fact,the seat cover we offer is actually the same as the TR3A seat, as in allrespects involving the material, they are completely interchangeable.However, there several subtle differences in the seat runners and back,which means that although they look the same, they actually function quitedifferently. Although theoretically it will be possible for you to fit TR4 seatsin your TR3A, you would also have to fit a complete set of runners from yourTR4, otherwise, the deeper indentation in seat pan of the TR4 will, groundon the floor pan of your TR3A. Also, you will have to re-drill your TR3A floor,if this is a job you want to do. Not recommended for the faint hearted.The second type of TR4 seat is in fact - according to our experience,relatively rare on UK market specification cars. It is however (we are told)very common on American specification vehicles. It is still based on theoriginal design of having a separate seat pan attached to the squab. I.e. theback piece of the seat, with a separate cushion that is trimmed separately,and has a seat cushion which is removable.
The third seat is of a completely different design and structure, in the sensethat it has a tubular frame on which all the material and packing ‘is hung’.This design is similar to the seat offered in the Triumph Herald saloon ofthat era, and was probably fitted from mid’ 1963 to late 1964 in the latter partof the TR4 production.
TR4 Front Seat Covers Type 1
TR4 Seat Type 1.This looks like the TR3A seat, and although it is a different seat frame, thecovers are the same. The springs are not the same as TR3A. Although thereappear to have been optional coarse or fine grains on black, we supply onlythe finer, less distinct grain.

TR4 & TR4A Cockpit Trim Panel Kits
TR4 Soft Top Models.In clarification this should really be called non-Surrey top models, becausethe Surrey soft top is not covered by this specification. The factory calledcars not fitted with Surrey tops - Soft tops, and we will follow that termino-logy here. The TR4 had a somewhat interesting arrangement in the rearcockpit, when the hood is not being used to protect you from the elements,it is taken off the frame and stored in the boot of the car, this is exactly thearrangement used by most sports cars of the period, including TR2/3/3A.This leaves the frame on the car, which is then folded down, and frankly,looks quite ugly. On the TR3 there is actually a hood frame stowage cover,but on the TR4 - rather ingeniously - the hood frame stowage coverbecomes part of the interior trim, and forms a kind of mini-armchair withtwo sides and a back provided with thick padding, to allow rear passengersto sit behind the driver and front seat passenger in comfort! The interiortrim kit therefore comprises a pair of door panels, white piped, a pair ofquarter panels, white piped, a pair of rear wheel arch covers, white piped,loose material to cover the inner rear wing, behind the B post, and thetriangular covers for the B post lower reinforcing gussets, as well as thethree pieces across the back of the car to provide the hood stowage cover.The only items needed to complete the interior trimming of a TR4 Soft topmodel are the front seat covers and the rear seat cushion cover.

TR4 Surrey Top Models.The interior trim kit, for TR4’s fitted with a Surrey top, has a pair of doorpanels, white piped, a pair of rear quarter panels, white piped, and a pair ofrear wheel arch covers, white piped, we also supply a tank board withvertical heat formed bars, similar to the TR5/6 models. We are not exactlysure if this tank board is correct, so for the moment we will list separatepart numbers for TR4 & TR4A kits, though, ultimately you will receive thesame item from us whichever you order. Our research will continue intothis matter and if we find there is a difference in the Surrey top TR4 trimkits, we will adjust the contents accordingly, and supply them as distinct

TR4 & 4A Carpet Under-Felt
For TR4 and TR4A models we are able to offer an under felt kit whichcomprises the major pieces of sound deadening material to go under thecarpet pieces. This is a major advantage in keeping out road noise and anyother noise generated in the car, but needs to be used with care as it tendsto soak up water if the soft top is left down, and, in these circumstances ofcourse, it inevitably rains!

We also have a De-luxe, 80/20 wool, specification carpet, which is actually the one fitted asstandard to the TR6 in its early production period, and also to most Jaguarsaround the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, this range has a prefix of CSB.
TR4 Carpet Sets
This carpet set is very similar to the TR4A, except for the positioning of the hand brake gaiter, which comes through the floor on the right hand side ofthe car, in common with the TR2/3/3A. This means that for drivers of RHDvehicles there is always something nagging at your left knee while you are driving. The luckier people are drivers of LHD cars, who have theirgirlfriend in the passenger seat, who are able to lean over and put the fly-off hand brake in the ‘on’, or ‘off’ position as appropriate. As Pete Cox onceexplained, this is something almost worth emigrating for!

Headlamp Relay Kits
Early electrical systems did not include relaysin the headlamp dip or main beam circuits.The omission of relays from these circuitsmeans that the high electrical currentsrequired to power the lamps runs through theswitchgear when the lamps are used.
This is contributory to the burning and subsequent failure of light and dipswitch contact points. This situation is aggravated if the original equipmentheadlamps are uprated to a higher wattage or supplemented withadditional lights, as this increases the current load on the existing circuit.Another benefit to the installation of operating relays is that of brighterheadlamps without uprating their wattage.All models easily lend themselves to the installation of relays to controlheadlamp operating power without having to do any butchery to the wiringloom that is non reversible. It also pays back by not involuntarily melting thedip, flash or main lighting switch. The additional wiring and relays can beeasily tucked out of sight so as not to inflame the wrath of the purists.Kits Include 2 Relays & Fittings.

Moss Hoods & Tonneau Covers
Moss Europe are committed to an intense programme of productdevelopment and re-manufacturing - one of those products is Hoods andTonneaux.
Investing for the future by preserving traditional crafts, methods and skills.The only way to ensure that a part is right for the job, is to manufacture itby the best possible means to the highest standards and, although modernproduction techniques have transformed the classic car industry,sometimes, the only way to do it is the traditional way.
The People.Any product is only as good as the people who make it. At our ownmanufacturing plant in Shropshire, we have a hand picked team ofcraftsmen and women, who are all dedicated enthusiasts of vintage andclassic cars. With a combined total of nearly 100 years experience, theyproduce hoods and tonneaux to the highest standards, some served theirapprenticeship in the manufacturers trim shops - such as Austin Healey,MG and Triumph, whilst many served their apprenticeship with traditionalindependent coach trimmers.
The Very Best Materials.Modern materials assist the craftsman to produce the best possible hood,but they must look right. Modern materials, due to their inherent strength,greatly assist traditional manufacturing methods by allowing the craftsmanto fully use his or her skills to ensure that every section of a hood is cut to a precise pattern - every time. This assists the skilled machinists toensure that every seam is perfectly formed and finished. No matter howwell the product is made, it must look and feel right, as well as being durable. To this end, we source our material from two of the worlds leadingfabric manufacturers.
...Sometimes you can’t cut corners.
Design & Development.Modern sports cars can sometimes benefit from their predecessors. Aswell as hoods and tonneau covers for classic sports cars, we also producethem for modern sports cars such as the MG-F and Mazda MX5. Our aim isto produce the best hoods by using our in-house skills and experience.
Quality Control.Every hood is checked for fit by using ‘Trim Bucks’. Not only do we fit everyhood and tonneau to a Trim Buck, a perfectly engineered OE specificationtest rig that checks fit, we also monitor each and every stage of production,from first cutting to final stitching.
“When you buy a Moss hood or tonneau, you can be sure that you have thefinest product available, produced by craftsmen.”

What can I do to make my TR go faster?
There really isn’t a simple answer to this question...• Do you want higher speeds on the motorway or more mid-range torque? • Do you drive your car fairly hard on a daily basis, or just use it on weekends?• Would you like that little bit more power, or do you want maximum BHP?• Do you just want the car to be quicker through bends?• Then we could ask, have you, or are you going to, upgrade the brakes?• Are your suspension and/or steering bushes/components ok?• Will your transmission and drive train handle more power/speed?• Is your car standard, or has it been previously overhauled/uprated?
On the following pages, you will find a range of quality components that willimprove engine performance, braking, steering and the handling of yourclassic and, if you want to make it a real head turner, complete thetransformation by fitting a set of Alloy wheels. Please Don’t Forget, beforeincreasing the power output and speed of any vehicle, you should ensurethat your brakes, steering, chassis etc can cope with the modifications,and, a Roll Bar is a very sensible investment ... for all open top sports cars.
IMPORTANT Descriptions and Dimensions.As we have no control over installations/modifications, whether previous orcurrent, it is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure safe and correct fitment,tolerances and clearances. Manufacturers/suppliers descriptions and dimensionsare given in good faith at the time of publication. Errors & Omissions Excepted.
Body Panels
We supply a range of replacement Aluminium and fibre-glass panels. Forfull details please refer to page 35
Cooling
Water Cooling.Although the standard radiator is adequate in cooling the TR engine intraffic, the fitting of a Kenlowe Electric Fan has been found to be veryworthwhile, not only to improve cooling but unlike the standard fan it doesnot absorb energy, approx. 3bhp, from the engine.We also supply along with an alternator conversion kit, a narrow fan beltkit suitable for all TR2-TR4A models, for full details refer to page 40.We also stock Aluminium radiators.Engine Oil Cooling.The use of an oil cooler on this engine is probably a very good idea, youonly need to drive the car in normal motorway traffic to see the oil pressuredrop when the engine has been warmed up. The engine was not designedfor use with the modern high viscosity oils now produced.Our oil cooler kits are listed in various styles to suit all needs. The kits aresupplied with ready assembled hoses and mounting brackets. The installationkit can be supplied with a Thermostatic controlled adaptor plate for road carswhich can give you the best control of the oil temperature. We also list spin-on oil filter conversions, with a thermostatic control to use with an oilcooler if preferred.Axle Cooling.If you want to make sure that your rear TR4 IRS axle is getting maximumcooling, then check out our aluminium finned rear diff covers, see page 53.
Ignition System
Note; It is necessary for the car to be set-up on a rolling road to ascertainthe required static timing, to obtain the optimum power.
Standard Distributor.The standard distributor when in good condition, will work quite satis-factorily up to and including fast road spec cam profiles. If replacing, thenalways use the late TR4A advance curve specification for the distributor, orbetter still, our race spec unit that will cope much better with modern fuel.
Ignition System cont...
Electronic Ignition.If you are tired of setting the points, then electronic ignition is the answer,refer to page 38 for full details of the different ignition systems we supply.Lucas Advance Springs.For Lucas distributors, we are able to supply a set of five advance springs,part No. TT1903, so that the advance curve can be tailored to suit your ownrequirements. These are used to restrict the low speed advance curve toreduce the pinking problem.Mallory Distributors.If your vehicle was originally fitted with a Lucas distributor, then you can fitthe track proven Twin Point Mallory distributor.Performance HT Ignition Leads.It makes sense if you have fitted a sports coil, uprated distributor and highgrade spark plugs, to fit high performance silicone or competition plugleads.
Brake System
This is a very important area that must be attended to when carrying outany conversion work. We will continue on the assumption that the brakingsystem is in a working condition and that the brake discs/drums are not‘worn out’ or badly ‘scored’, both of which will affect the possible brakingefficiency. For some models we supply uprated brake pads that can beused with standard calipers and disc as well as complete uprated brakekits. We also stock Finned/Alloy rear brake drums, for 9” brakes.
General Brake Information.When fitting new pads/linings it is essential that they are bedded incorrectly for them to work efficiently and give the best results. Remember,some, but not all brake pads and linings, were made from asbestos; forpersonal safety do not use a brush or air line to remove brake dust, butinstead use a vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth together with a can of brakecleaner. Make sure the dust and/or cloths are disposed of properly.

Note; If you have solid alloy steering rack mounts - which are essential forcompetition conditions because they minimise rack movement, they do notcompensate, unlike rubber bushes, if the car is heavily kerbed.
Suspension Tuning
When rebuilding or modifying the suspension make sure you check allcomponents for wear.
The recommended order of suspension tuning for TR2 to TR4 models is;The front anti-roll bar, adjustable front shock absorbers and uprated front/rear suspension bushes, then you can tailor the rest of the suspension toyour own requirements.
The order of priority for suspension tuning for TR4A models is;1. Front Anti-Roll Bar2. Rear Springs and Rear Shock Absorbers (or conversion)3. Uprated Suspension Bushes4. Front Shock Absorbers5. Front Springs6. Rear Anti-Roll Bar
TR2/3 & TR4 Front Suspension
Anti Roll Bar.This is essential for a road car to ensure some degree of stability formodern day traffic speeds. The bar helps to maintain the inner wheel incontact with the road when cornering hard, which will make the steeringfeel much more positive whilst also reducing some of the under-steerinherent in this range. The bar is supplied complete with the mountings andbushes. See also pages 138 to 140 in the Restoration section of thiscatalogue for full detailed and illustrated listings. The standard rubber outer link bushes supplied with the front anti roll barare okay for road cars, but for they may need uprating… to hard rubber,polyurethane or Nylatron.Hard Rubber bushes are ideal for fast road use and increase the barstrength by approx. 15%.Polyurethane bushes are the best compromise between standard rubberbushes and nylatron for road going TR’s. They give improved suspensionlocation with greater wear resistance compared to their rubberequivalents and without the transmission of road noise suffered whenfitting Nylatron alternatives. They are naturally self-lubricating.Solid Nylon bushes are more suitable for sprint/competition use where thefirmer control can be adjusted to suit. Strength increase is approx. 25%Front Shock Absorbers.The rate of damping on the shock absorber must be improved - whether ornot you fit uprated road springs. We also supply uprated top shockabsorber bushes, order part number TT30161, that will fit all makes of frontshock absorbers.Refer to page 49 For full details of uprated shock absorbers.Front Springs.The road springs usually require to be improved in rate to suit modern daytraffic speeds and also adjusted in height, depending on requirements. Welist a range of springs to suit most requirements. Note; All TriumphTunesprings Must be used with our standard 2” alloy spring spacer 107682, itmay not be required for lightweight cars, and is not required when fittingstandard springs.Nylatron Bush Kits.The replacing of the inner top Wishbone rubberbush with Nylatron (which is self lubricating) ishighly recommended for improved control and lesssuspension deviation during braking and cornering.

Brake drums and discs also need bedding in on low speed gentle brakingfor about 10 miles; gradually raise the speeds, but maintain the gentlebraking application. Then make 2 to 3 heavy braking applications, whichshould complete the bedding in. We also recommend the fitting of‘stainless steel braided’ hoses that give a firmer brake pedal and lesspressure drop through hose expansion. Complete brake pipe sets are alsoavailable and are supplied ready assembled with unions for easyinstallation. For racing applications the rear brake cylinder may need to bechanged to one with a smaller bore to balance the braking.Uprated Brake Components.There are no uprated pads/linings currently available for the TR3-4 modelswhich use the bolt and clamp plate pad retainers. All later models use thehorizontal pin fitting, of which there two sizes - so beware. We supply uprated front disc brake kits for TR4 & TR4 models, includingTR5/6 type ventilated brakes, and finned alloy 9” rear brake drums, alongwith uprated brake shoes, for TR3-TR4A’s. See page 44 For full details. Forracing applications the rear brake cylinder should be changed for one witha smaller bore.Brake Servo.This is recommended for all cars with single braking system. This uses aremote servo unit which is ‘plumbed’ into the brake line and inlet manifold.The increase in braking efficiency is well worth the cost of this item for aroad car and in some instances can be used for racing applications as well.
Steering
It goes without saying that all steering components/bushes must bethoroughly inspected and replaced as a matter of course if suspect. As wellas stocking Quick Racks for late TR4 & TR4A’s (which have a high ratiopinion giving you lock-to-lock in only 2.5 turns, compared to the standard3.5) that gives you ‘pin point’ steering. We also supply a steering rackconversion for TR3A models that will give 2.6 turns lock-to-lock.

TR2/3 & TR4 Front Suspension cont...
Our Nylatron bush Kits may reduce suspension noise and will make thevertical action much easier therefore making the whole suspension workbetter. The bushes also stop the standard excessive fore and aft movement- which even occurs if brand new standard rubber bushes are fitted. Thesame kit of Nylatron bushes/sleeves/end washers and sealing rings may beused for the upper and lower wishbone points.Top Wishbone.The top arms can be adjusted in length for competition use to attain theNegative camber setting. This is only recommended when the rest of thesuspension tuning/car set up has been done, so that the standard camberangle can be checked and then adjusted to suit. The recommended settingis 0-1 degree negative. Though a far better method would be to use our 1.5negative degree vertical links, part No TT3003, for TR2-4 cars, and to re-shim the lower wishbones on TR4A.Racing.The castor angle on the TR2-4 models prior to CT 6244 is 0 degrees. This isokay for a road car but for maximum roadholding the later type suspensionmay be used which will give the 3 degrees castor angle. This requires theuse of the later 3 degrees Trunnions and Top Wishbones plus the requiredfittings and top ball joints.Camber.The standard camber angle is set at 2 degree Positive, when fitting loweredsprings this will be reduced to 0-1 degree positive and, depending onwheels and tyres this should be reduced to 1 degree negative as a normalmaximum. Again, TT3003 negative links may assist here.Note: When used with lowered springs it is essential to check the bumpstops for adequate clearance so as to alleviate any ‘bump steer’ whencornering hard.
TR4A Front Suspension
Front Anti Roll Bar.The TR suspension design needs the assistance of the front anti-roll bar tomaintain the inner front wheel in contact with the ground road whencornering with any verve.TR4A models were not fitted with a front anti-roll bar as standard, so aninstallation kit is required.The outer bar mounting point rubbers can be changed for stronger rubber or solid nylatron. These are usually only required for competitionuse, where the fine adjustment of anti-roll bar tension can set-up the car correctly for the best roadholding, but may also be used to fine-tuneroad cars.Front Shock Absorbers.When you fit uprated springs it is essential that you also fit adjustabledampers. We also supply uprated top shock absorber bushes - order partnumber TT30161.Refer to page 49 For full details of uprated shock absorbers.Front Springs.The standard specification springs were designed primarily for the USAmarket. For the average enthusiast the rate needs to be increased to stopfront end floating at modern day speeds and the height may need to bereduced to improve the roll centre of the car.Before altering the car, measure the fitted height of the front and rearsprings. This will allow you to compare the figures and make the rightchoice for the height of the new springs, as the lengths we list are for newNew springs. Remember that a change of tyre size, 185/70 to 195/60 etc...and wheel width will also change the ground clearance.If you are still unsure please write/phone for assistance, quoting yourstandard fitted heights.For all applications we recommend that the car is set-up so that it is level,both for appearance and for road holding.Racing.For recommendations see page 47.
TR4A Front Suspension
We have re-manufactured the special ChurchillSpring Compressor tool, part No. GAC5076 - whichcan also be used for fitting new camshaft bearings.
Front Chassis Strengtheners.The inner front mounting bracket tends to be a weakpoint on the suspension design. We have thereforeproduced supporting brackets for welding intoposition. Order Part Numbers TT3259R and TT3259L.These were fitted as standard on late ‘73 and futureTR6 models.For competition use, the actual brackets must also bechecked over regularly for fracturing and damage.This is also necessary if a road car is kerbed heavily.Inner Fulcrum.The inner pivot bracket on most cars, originally used only one stud forattachment to the chassis mounting bracket. This may have beenadequate for a road car in the 1960’s, but if wide tyre/wheels are beingused, then it is recommended that the extra bolt is fitted to the pivotbracket. When fitting make sure that the new bolt head will clear thewishbone arm when installed. Note; all our new inner fulcrum brackets areof the 2 bolt fixing type, part No. 148691.Bushes.For all fast road or competition cars the inner bushes should ideally bereplaced with the Nylatron bush kit, as these give improved suspensionaction as well as vastly improved location. The bush set allows easiervertical movement which will improve suspension action whilst eliminatingfore-aft float, which occurs with the standard rubber set-up. Thesuspension may be a little noisier in it’s operation.Top Wishbone.These can be shortened for competition use, so as to induce moreNegative camber, depending on the type of front springs used. The fittedheight of the spring will also affect the amount of camber, so this can onlybe adjusted once the car is back on it’s wheels and fully loaded, the camberis then measured and adjusted as necessary. The optimum for racing useis 0-1 degree negative. The best way to achieve the desired camber is tosimply add shims to the lower inner pivot.
TR2/3 & TR4 Rear Suspension
The rear suspension only needs slight alterations to make the car handle well.Rear Anti Roll Bar.The use of this type of bar improves rear end stability, so that ride is not impaired.The fitting of the bar is fiddly but worthwhile. If used with round silencersystem, TT5001-TR2-3-3A, then the exhaust will need to be dropped slightlyfor the bar to be dropped slightly for the bar to be installed. The roll bar ratecan be adjusted with bushes, and should be adjusted for ‘balance’ againstthe front end with the bushes.
Rear Shock Absorbers.If you prefer to retain your lever arm units, we stock 25% uprated units, or, youcould fit one of our Telescopic Conversion kits. See page 48 For full details.

TR2/3 & TR4 Rear Suspension cont...
Rear Shock Absorber Conversion.Specially designed for the TR range, our telescopic conversion kits willgive you a far better shocker action and improved ride. The units are adjustable and allow the damping action to be made to suit yourneeds/car. The design allows the axle to be located better to stop spring ‘windup’ and as well as giving a better damping action. The conversion brackets areavailable to suit the TR3/3A and TR4 models.On the TR2/3 models with sloping rear floor there may be some internalmodifications necessary to clear the brackets, on all other models thebrackets are a direct fitment. The bracket fitted to the axle is clamped intoposition but does require one part to be welded into place for extra strength.Rear Leaf Spring.The leaf spring is available in standard, lowered or uprated specification.The lowered spring is recommended for fast road competition cars as itgives the rear-end pliability which is required for the best road holding.Early Models.For cars prior to 1962 where a flat type of spring and no spacer is used, usethe lowered spring, or for full race, use the competition spring, but if the caris very light then this will require setting to suit your application,alternatively, use the single leaf type spring.Late Models.The late models, from CT2333, are fitted with a longer spring and a spacerbelow the axle. This type does give a better ride but allows more axle wind-up, again for fast road use the lowered spring is required, but forcompetition use the early spring and a telescopic kit would be essential. Tocontrol the wind-up problems on this range, it is recommended that thetelescopic kit is used, as the standard lever-arms would not cope.Bushes: Replacement Nylatron bushes are available for the rear of the leafspring and used on the front of the spring locator kit, which allows thespring to move in a vertical direction, but will restrict the side waysdeflection that creates rear end steering.
TR4A Rear Suspension
Rear Anti Roll Bar.The rear roll bar is recommended for all fast road cars, where the actionwill improve the road holding substantially. The design allows the bar tooperate progressively, so that it does not make the car twitchy.For racing the use of the bar will depend on your own set-up and may needexperiments to be carried out, to determine the right combination to suityour own driving. Variations include the use of outer locator cones, TT3906,which improve the fitting to the rear trailing arm and also harder bushes.Lever Arm Rear Shock Absorbers.The lever arm unit can be supplied in two forms for road and racing. Wecan supply brand new or reconditioned exchange 25% road uprated units.The racing units have the damper setting increased by 50% and are basedon NEW units.
TR4A Rear Suspension cont...
Rear Shock Absorbers Telescopic Conversion.Our conversion kits enable modern adjustable telescopic units to be easilyinstalled on the car. This conversion not only gives you a much smootherride, but also allows far better location for fast road (and competitionwhere rules allow its use), allowing you to fine-tune and balance the car toyour requirements. See page 48.Rear Coil Springs.Here we have a mine field there are so many variables. Standard springs arelisted on page 146 but most owners will know that there are very few TR’s thatend up at the same fitted height. The standard springs tend to sag very easily,so again it is essential for you to measure the spring when it is fitted on thecar, IE car in normal running condition as on the road/track. For our full rangeof uprated springs and fitting recommendations please refer to page 50.Mounting Brackets.The trailing arm is mounted via four brackets to the chassis, these are inpairs, inner and outer. The fitment on the model range is listed here,identified by the notches in the bracket;
Inner OuterTR4A/TR5 & Early TR6 1 Notch 2 NotchTR6 Late Models 3 Notch 1 Notch
The late models had the 3 notch bracket fitted so that the Camber can bemaintained at 0 degrees, with the longer standard springs. When fitting theshorter springs it is possible to alter the brackets so as to maintain thecamber angle at 0-2 degrees negative. The actual combination may varyfrom above, so it may require you to install the rear spring first, checkcamber and then adjust if necessary. Normally this is not essential for roadcars, unless using the low race springs. It is important that these bracketsare fitted the correct way onto the car as this will alter the camber and‘drive-ability of the car.Trailing Arm Bushes.The rubber bush fitted to the trailing arm needs to be stronger - to copewith the improved power, by reducing rear end steerage. We have had theTT3266 specially manufactured in Polyurethane with a stepped centresleeve to stop the bush splitting when under extreme loads.This modification is very well worthwhile on pure road cars such is theimprovement ‘back end’ location.
Wheels & Tyres
These can obviously alter the overall gearing considerably, so it is animportant feature of any intended conversion. Again some applied thoughtbefore you start may save you time and money later on. With the availabilityof modern high grip, and mostly low profile tyres, this area will probablymake more difference than any other single alteration to the overallperformance of the TR.Here we show the, normal, recommendations/combinations for fitting largerwheels and tyres. This is not a definitive list as your particular requirementsmay include major suspension/body modifications.Wheels.

Tyres.The range of tyres available now is considerable, so we are not in a positionto recommend any particular brand over another. However, the size that youuse is also important not only as it alters the overall gearing but also the rideheight and weight of the steering.
