Attn Richard the Old - wet feet

<br>
I just read that you've got wet feet / water in the footwells.<br>
<br>
You may find that the bulkhead space (under the vents in the bonnet) may be clogged up with leaves etc. There are drain holes there somewhere that allow rainwater to run away into the engine compartment.<br>
<br>
If these ...

School

<br>
Not sure which school you went to...<br>
<br>
circumference = pi x diameter<br>
<br>
area = pi x radius squared<br>
<br>
15mm diameter = pi x 7.5 squared = 176mm sq<br>
<br>
to get 50mm sq :-<br>
<br>
root of (50 / 3.14) = 8mm. I'm sure I said that earlier !

<br>
Can you confirm - 50mm equals nearly 2 inches.<br>
<br>
that's one big cable !!<br>
<br>
isn't the standard battery cable about 10mm across ?

welding cable

<br>
where can you get welding cable from ?<br>
<br>
I guess I need something like 12v 200A rated or 240v 10A ?<br>
<br>
35mm - that's quite a bit thicker than standard cable which must only be about 8mm ?

Weight

I was hoping to put it on the driver (UK car) side in the boot.<br>
<br>
Then I'd have the battery, driver, fuel tank & passenger in each corner.<br>
<br>
Where can I get get cheap cable from ? it seems to be quite expensive.

T9 box ?

<br>
I read in Retro that RevingtonTR fit Sierra T9 boxes to TR6s.<br>
<br>
Does this mean one would easily fit onto a Sprint ?<br>
<br>
As Sprints & TR6s share the same original box, it should be quite easy ....?<br>
<br>
T9s are supposed to be good & strong. eg. fitted to Cosworths

What does lowering the back do ?

<br>
I think lowering the back will point the front of the axle upwards.<br>
<br>
Has anybody shortened the tie bars to compensate ?

Bolts

<br>
I've found a company who do TR7 bolts and can probably match the head studs & bolts.<br>
<br>
The will be high tensile units which are much stronger than standard bolts, at little extra cost - well worth it if you're spending thousands on webers/cams/pistons etc.<br>
<br>
Can somebody lend me ...

TR7

<br>
ARP 'list' TR7 conrod bolts. Are these the same part number ? I guess as it's the same block, they will do ?<br>
<br>
Are Sprint head studs/bolts shared with any other car ?

At least they are admitting guilt and refunding or getting stuff fixed.

Rimmers have just credited me for the bushes that don't fit - rear trailing arm front & back.
