The 4.5 Cerb that i bought late last year is almost/maybe/possibly close to being finished

Most (if not all) of the things that need doing to properly recommission a TVR have been done (or are remaining to be done). Question is: can anyone suggest "anything else" while it is still with the specialists that should be looked at/replaced?

Im 99% sure James Agger and co will have gone over it with a fine-tooth-comb. But I'm open to any owner-opinions as to any other weak spots?


TBD (planned)
Mapping
New Throttle Pots (possibly Hall Effect)

Anything else?
New tyres + alignment
Throttle cable?
Oil pressure relief spring?
Kits and Classics mod to activate rad fans earlier?
Check fuel filler hose where it meets the top of the fuel tank/fuel filler cap?
New alarm and Imobiliser and 2x new fobs from Abacus Alarms?

Have you done the fuel pipes around the fuel filter?

Have you still got the original cast exhaust manifolds? Worth checking for cracks or perhaps replacing with nice tuned length stainless, ceramic coated

[andyvvc]

The fuel pipes have been done (but I will triple-check that specific location).
Manifold is the factory one (we think). Sounds like that might need checking, cheers Byker.

+1 on the manifolds... Ceramic coating & reflective tape on the chassis keeps the heat nicely under control with mine.

If the body is still off from doing the outriggers, the main brake line to the rear will probably be worth doing too.
