The pump has arrived. I will be reviewing this thread to help me with my project.

Is there a way to unplug these electrical connectors from the cover plate? Trying to withdraw the assembly from the tank with these wires all connected sounds like a nightmare. I don't want to break anything, so I could use some guidance.

The fuel pump from Rimmer is here. I welcome any advice on how to install it without having a truly epic fire. I suppose I should siphon out all the fuel that I can out of the tank so that the assembly is not completely dripping when I withdraw it.

I just thought you folks with 13" wheels would be interested. My Sevens all have 15" wheels. I have found that A052 (I believe that is ay-ZERO-five-two) tires are great for street and autocross on light cars.

Hey, I have short legs.

Wouldn't that depend on how far forward you adjusted the seat? I move the seat well-forward on both my Caterham cars.

A six-pound seat. I'd like to lighten it a bit by making the lap-belt ports larger. Caterham lap belts are pull-ups and the adjusters tend to not play well with the ports.

Thanks! Interesting. I think I will go with the steel and washers.

I found these pop rivets at Menards. The flanges measure 0.626", or 5/8", or 15.9mm.

DHL alleges that the pump will arrive here on Tuesday.

They sure are. They have shipped me a fuel pump which is supposed to arrive Tuesday.

Interesting. I have a car that was certainly licenced in Massachusetts as a 1963 Lotus. Still has a Massachusetts inspection sticker on the windscreen. The word Lotus appears on this sticker. It's just possible that the car is a Birkin, possibly made in 2003.

ANALYSIS, speedwagen, ANALYSIS. Looks like your spellchecker has a dirty mind.

Yeah. Make him prove it. When I bought my late wife a TR4 in San Antonio, I was out on the highway with the seller. I expressed that I was concerned about the mechanical scraping sound. "That's not a mechanical noise. It's an aerodynamic noise." He reached his two hands over the windshield and started moving them around. The noise changed. I put my hands up there also and here we were zipping up the highway looking like two guys trying to play a theremin. The TR4 does not use all snaps ("poppers") to secure the roadster top when it is on. There is a snap on each corner. The section between these two snaps has a down-facing groove meant to capture a strip of metal sewn inside the front of the top. Tension set by straps on the top frame keep the top fastened to the windshield. Turns out this groove, when not at work locating a top, has musical ambitions at speed. The TR4A discontinued the roadster top in favor of a convertible top with a more-conventional method of connection to the windshield. They continued with this convertible top all the way through the TR6.

Vintage Triumph Register is a national organization. Texas Triumph Register is a chapter of VTR. My chapter is Minnesota Triumphs Sports Car Club.

Ask for Prussian Blue. Machinists also call it "layout dye".

Just asking for a bit of education: Are we talking about using this on a deDion car>\? If one were to instal this kit, you leave all the existing stuff in place?

I suggest you ask around the Texas Triumph Register. Their PO Box is in Houston, so they must have plenty of members thereabouts. I know that my Chapter of the VTR has tons of members with parts lying about and expect that Triumph-car folks in Texas are not that different in that regard. https://www.facebook.com/groups/154491104579697/ https://texastriumphregister.org/ https://texastriumphregister.org/wp-content/uploads/Resource_Guide/TTR Resource Guide - Dec 2025.pdf

Just to educate my often-uninformed self: Does the CSR 260 use the constantly-circulating method of fuel delivery? If so, then if this is indeed a fuel pressure regulator, this device is located on the return line to the fuel tank? On my Birkinized Caterham, the fuel pressure regulator hangs directly on the outflow end of the fuel rail of the Hayabusa injection. On my actual Birkin, the fuel pressure regulator is directly aft of the cylinder head. In all of these cases I expect the result is schematically the same. The advantage I see to the location back by the tank is that the device would not be subjected to the higher temperatures present close to the engine. The possible disadvantage would be inaccessibility for adjustment. This would be inline with Cosworth's apparent ethic of "don't mess with our setup".

Not planning on going for more than 260 hp in the near future.
