Enjoying a day off in the man cave
I thought I'd put Mark Adams' comment to the test.....if your plenum doesn't have the pre heat thing on the underside you can take the NS rocker cover off without removing the plenum itself
As i wanted to re paint my NS cover i though here we go.....slid out no bother. Cool :-)
Time to strip
So whilst I left that to work its magic I roped the wife in to move my bonnet into the lounge lol where else
As I was sick of my curly bonnet shield so a bit of evo stick and some bricks helped
Well time for a beer now :-)

.... and she is still your wife????? ;^)
She's great :-)Once I finished stripping the rocker cover and washed it down outside. I needed to ensure there were no little bits behind the splash plate
So in the dishwasher it went :-)
I'm sure one day I'll push my luck to far lol

This gives me an idea for a potential Wedgefest prize - best Wedge Wife of the year (or Significant Other) for the most understanding partner. Your missus is deffo in with a shout!
She'd be thrilled, just got to get her in the car, I've owned 11 TVRs and she's ever even sat in 1....hates them loladam quantrill said:

OK... Nursy bought a house with an 800 square foot workshop for me to play in. She also went from being a bike hater (25 years in A&E does that to nurses) to a bike lover, to the point where not only does she insist on us riding to the South of France but she bought her own bike Oh, she does moan at me... to get the TVR back on the road so we can go out in it
I normally use Meguiars Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner on the rocker covers, Especially on the inside..Agitate with a piece of fine steel wool or a plastic scourer..Leave for 10 minutes and wash off...I find it works better than any Gunk product..I haven't used it on wheel's yet as I'm a bit sceptical about using anything other than car shampoo on my powder coated alloys...

For cast aluminium parts in general, if you aren't worried about preserving a mirror finish or dimensionally-critical surfaces but just want to clean off the mank, caustic soda is the canine's cojones. You can buy it in granular form at places like Wilkinsons for pennies (well, a quid), dissolve a couple of capsful into water in a suitably-large plastic tub or bucket and watch that alloy fizz
Can also be used on the outsides...Nitromors first to remove the paint..(Or the caustic soda..Wear gloves in both cases)...If you are painting them then you will need some VHT primer....Etching primer will peel off when it gets hot...

You can use a heat gun to cure the paint quicker between coats but leave the last one wet...

Hi mate...Rocker cover looks nice...Did you check the breather hole and have you replaced the foam filter?...I can send you a piece of filter foam if needed but you will need to cut it to shape, Grimmers do it but mine is Free...
cheers fella, have checked the breather with one of the wife's sewing needles (shhhh lol) and have a piece of foam ready to slot in :-)Gassing Station | Wedges | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
