Help please
How many of these do I need for the centre section that hold the exhaust off of that tray. That's just one isn't it, they go together to make an egg shape?
Exhaust mount Part No TVR S7007
Been on my to do list for weeks now. Lazy
Yep, that's just one pair, you need three pairs How many of these do I need for the centre section that hold the exhaust off of that tray. That's just one isn't it, they go together to make an egg shape?

Know what you mean about enjoying looking at the car's nether regions, but it it does serve a useful porpoise. I was just loitering under my car two weeks ago, while Mat was just doing a 4-pot alignment on my nearside front brakes , and I spotted a newly split drive shaft boot. Good job, the car is six months away from its next swervice.
Finally finished 5 months of body lift chassis refurb today!
Did loads of other bits at the same time - brakes serviced, coolant changed, new stainless chassis bolts fitted, fixed some niggles, four new Bridgestones, wheels refurbed in "shadow chrome", oil changed.
Anyway, five months off the road and it's great to get back behind the wheel!
Had intended selling but now I'm not so sure.....

Oh, and worth adding that despite five months off the road with the fuel tank and cooling system removed along with various other bits, she fired up first time and ran as smooth as ever. Love it!
I did have to take a hammer to the seat belt reels as they evidently don't like being mounted at anything other than horizontal. So far that's the only issue I've had - let's hope it stays that way!

Goodbye stepper motor & housing, I think with the cam I intend to use this will just get it's knickers in a twist and cause inconsistent idle & low speed issues so it's gone and my defaced (that's why they was cheap) TVR rocker covers modded for a pukka PCV valve system no more updates I am still waiting for my heads ..

Is that a core plug in there?Edited by Sardonicus on Friday 25th April 14:58
Why blank it off totally??? Assuming non-14CUX / stepper you still want vac line for the FPR and a line into the plenum for an idle valve.
Typically I just put a hex bung in the stepper hole & fit a Ford/GM idle valve in the throttle-stepper housing hose (clipped under the throttle linkage bracket).

After seeing a couple of RV8's without Dave I really cant see the point its not like I begrudge holding the motor on fast idle with the throttle for a minute on cold start (dont forget mine is used warmer months only) its hardly permanent I can reverse quite easily I have witnessed a couple of RV8's that run nicely without (Phazed's cars) and running a rotary style valve would mean altering my MS as its configured to drive a 4 wire stepper only and quite frankly I cant be bothered but if it dont work out then the Bosch rotary style gets my thumbs up the two brass nipples at the back are for the FPR and my MAP sensor Typically I just put a hex bung in the stepper hole & fit a Ford/GM idle valve in the throttle-stepper housing hose (clipped under the throttle linkage bracket).
