Garage / Re: TCS rear light sockets

According to the plater I sent them to, the reflectors are aluminum and would contaminate the plating bath. He was able to unplate the units, then noticed the aluminum and stopped. He thinks the reflectors have to come off. They are crimped on with the sockets. So if the sockets are destroyed getting them off, I’d want to have replacements.

This could all be wrong. The light units are currently out of my reach, so I can’t confirm.

It sold for $21,500. That seemed pretty cheap to me. There were some obvious flaws - especially with the interior but that would be really inexpensive to fix up. There was no driving or cold start video. There was a start video showing no smoke from the tailpipe but I think having a driving and cold start video would have given potential buyers a bit more comfort.

There was a reserve on it and when the bid was $21,250, the seller said the reserve had been met so tt could have been met sooner. It was a good sale for both buyer and seller but I thought it was nicer than the final price indicated.

I'll need to get it boxed up and weighed then check the freight companies for shipping costs. I'll post it here when I get results. Here are a few pictures of the air box. As I said earlier, a bit dinged up but quite usable.

Yup, good looking Europa, and I dig those wheels, too. Revolution four-spokes? I would love to get a set for my car.

Hello There

I have a recently acquired Fedral Stromberg TCS which is missing its airbox, but I have the feeling the shipping costs will actually be quite a lot even by the slowest cheapest route. Do you have any idea how much it would be?

Many thanks!

There is a fixed pin that sticks out at the bottom near the pivot, I think it hits the base plate of the pedals. Mine had been bent and was allowing the pedal to come too far towards the drriver.  I think it was shown/mentioned in the service manual.

I think Turbo may have made a mistake if there is a forward limit. The original pedals had a stop to keep the pedal from falling rearwards. You can see it in the picture of Banks' pedals. There is no stop for forward movement.

Does anyone have a source for the bayonet sockets in the TCS rear lights? I need to remove them to re-chrome the light bases. But that is sure to destroy them. So I'm looking for a replacement. I looked all over Moss Motors, but found nothing. I emailed RD Ent, but haven't gotten a reply yet.

I just took the wiring base, spring, and wires out and rechromed with the sockets in place.  Not like anyone other than yourself is going to see that they are chrome rather than brass.  Really, you can leave the bulb sockets in place, but remove (if these are the rear) the reverse light assemblies carefully drilling out the rivets.  Put back together with 4-40 stainless screws.

I put oilite bushings in mine when I remanufactured them.
   Turbo,  Nice work and love the spacing. Question, what keeps the clutch pedal from falling rearwards?  I believe I see the stop for the forward limit.
