Hi Chris, I don't envy you sorting the wiring, its a weak point on the TR7. As for the fuel tank, personally I don't see any point in a racing tank, its just more expense. But we all have differing ideas, as long as your enjoy the end result.

Good job on sorting the grounding, that was a pain for me too all over the place when the car was left sitting in a garage for a few years. Using the car is the most important thing. My washer motor gave up the ghost yesterday, had to clean out the connection tubes on the unit itself! Not bad after 44 years!

Change the fuel tank to the alloy one they now sell, yes it’s a pain and a days job but worth it

I would think actually living with a rally/race fuel cell would get old pretty soon. Fueling first of all but there's venting and of course proper fuel lines and electrical if needed. Another complexity to chase on a sunny day in North Wales. Still, it seems like a quick and easy solution which if I remember can be one or the other not often both.

Love the sound of that Chris, nice🔥🔥

Nice

It's great seeing it run. I'd forgotten how mechanical the V8's of that vintage were. It has a real nice exhaust note !

Exhaust sounds good !

Where there's a will............ Chris.

Why not look at rimmers web site and the diagrams it might show u how it goes together

Hi Chris, tough job twin exhaust's on a low car, good luck.

You're bringing back memories for me 😊. What sort of gearbox mounts are you using? If you're using the TR7 type the engine mounts will split pretty quickly - I always had to change to an SD1 type - a little fabrication needed.

Great result, I hope the bonnet closes, does it have the later centre bulged bonnet? Sounded fierce though :)

Patience of a saint Chris, car sounds great 👍

What you doing with the white tr7? I dis tell you it was your engine mounts, I had the same problem fitting the header on my 2ltr

Funny, those mounts look exactly like motor mounts for a TR6

Glad you got the the height issue sorted Chris, should sound great with the big bore exhaust. ☺

Hello Oliver 👋👋 💖🤗

Wow those eyes

Hes Gorgeous!! ❤🐾❤️

Hi Chris, just watched your video, lovely stuff. I'm having trouble with my scrapheap challenge of a 74 range rover classic. Has previously been fitted with a 3.9L efi but looks like they share the same oil pump in this scenario. Hasn't ran in two years until recently after getting fuel to the engine. It runs rough and doens't like to rev up with only occasionally idling. Have checked many possibilitys already but am next onto oil pressure. Should have been higher up on the list i know, guage wasnt hooked up as it turns out and so when i wired to the oil pressure sender unit on the pump, the guage goes to max pressure on turn of key but then falls to nothing when engine is 'running'. Am i to presume i have wired it up correctly and there is no oil pressure for the hydrolic lifters which will cause the terrible running? And as far as fixing this issue, i'm thinking of just packing the oil pump gasket full of grease to hopefully create a seal. I'm guessing I'm going to need to prime that thing too so out comes that distributor too...Am I on the right tracks for all this? Cheers

That looks like a chonky boy.

Nice to see it getting together Chris, least it's only an engine mount or two. Appreciate the updates.

Aww thanks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Nice one Chris, its great when you fix one problem then get another, hope the new engine mounts fixes your height problem, you can always make a spacer to add a touch more.

Hello Oliver the rescue cat! 🤗🤗🤗

He’s lovely, will make a great companion 👍

Nice looking manifolds Chris, no room for error with the V8, everything so close.

Im after a tr7 or 8.

Great video Chris, about time the weather gave you a break!

Bad luck with the fuel tank Chris, I hope you get the manifold sorted.

One TR7 rebuild would be hard work Chris but two others as well as a bike!, your doing well, I have only my MGTF and its done now, but even one old car keeps you busy, I am aiming to have a TR7 coupe again in the future but I think the two litre will do me, the one I had was great, can't see me finding a good one very easily but I hope so in a couple of years.

Hi Chris, lost track a bit, why did you remove the sender? was it leaking? Testing the sender unit when it is in the empty position you should have nearly zero ohms, which will bypass the delay unit to maintain the low fuel light on the dash, plus the empty position on gauge.

Maybe you can get it altered, I would think twice about it being so close to the starter, all that heat might damage it, also can you remove the starter with the manifold in place. Hope it works out Chris.

Change your engine mounts for new ones it will give you the clearance u need

Maybe a sensible car maker wouldn’t make you remove the engine, but Audi would.

Looks very wrong. Maybe for a P6 or SD1. Totally different to the tubular one fitted on the other car.

Hi Chris,I had a TR7 back in 1980 and had a problem with the pop up headlights when I switched them on they would rise and fall out of sync,Triumph issued a recall to change the headlights motors as it was deemed a safety issue.

Had one when I first passed my test went like a rocket used to shake the carbs to bits as I remember

Does the drill need to turn clock wise or anti clockwise.

Hi Chris, good to see the car run well, happy days!

Nice sound from the V8 engine : ) Jay
