Good evening, whilst setting the timing on my TVR I have dropped the small allen key used to lock the eccentrics in place ( numb fingers due to carpal tunnel syndrome). Does anyone know what size it is so I can go and buy one tomorrow, been searching for over an hour now, to no avail.

Irishcarguy possibly might know Nick ..... he's eight hours behind us in Canada so maybe a pm?

Hey is it absolutely mandatory on Mayhem to be ill in some way? (myself included)

Indeed, ones afflictions are many and varied, perhaps it is the years catching up on us all. Ryan will be at NB lifeboat between 12 30 and 13 00 on Wednesday, Will you be attending? I will be at the lake from about 10, weather permitting, so I will hopefully catch up with you if you can make it. And thanks for the tip, I will PM irishcarguy forthwith.

Which TVR is it and what engine?

pettyofficernick · « **Reply #4 on:** August 28, 2012, 08:26:23 am »

Good morning, sorry, should have been more specific, it is a Graham TVR1A BB.

LOL
I thought you meant a TVR car

pettyofficernick · « **Reply #6 on:** August 28, 2012, 09:05:01 am »

Do they still make those, I think they were built in Blackpool, There was a TVR dealers just up the road from me many years ago.

essex2visuvesi · « **Reply #7 on:** August 28, 2012, 09:12:01 am »

No they went under a few years back.

I keep looking at these:-

I thought the car too

I would have thought the fact it was in the steam section might have given a clue ? I don't think they built a steam TVR !

........ ah, but I've never claimed to be very clever

Dave

essex2visuvesi · « **Reply #11 on:** August 28, 2012, 11:31:36 am »

i never noticed it was in the steam section.... I saw it in the unread posts section

I shall leave the steam section quietly by the back door

My steam models are not seaworthy lol (Showmans Traction Engine and Hornby Live Steam Rocket)

I do actually have a midwest fantail launch to build one day, but as yet no steam engine to put in it

Of no help at all, but if you live in a house like mine, the missing tool will turn up the moment you buy a new one.
