Hi Tin man,
Super pics & wonderful colour !!!You might be interested in something that happened to my T350c.
whilst filling up with fuel the chrome ring came away with the filling hose,and has damaged my paint around the cap,i now know of 3 cars this has happened to at the moment and i'm not sure what TVR are going to do about it,as i have'nt had my 1000 mile service yet so they aint seen it yet!!! so you might like to be carefull when topping up!!!!
The chrome ring is "stuck" on with what appears to be
Araldite, but neither of the two surfaces have been 'etched'in any way to allow the two part's to stick properly,(BIT POOR I THOUGHT !!!!) the car had been in the warm sun all day so this may have caused the "glue" to soften.
the answer to that is 'don't go out in the sun (my quote not TVR)AS IF!!
If there is any other PHers with the same little TVR querk, let me know.
Dave....(Halcyon midas pearl yellow T350C)
PS loving every minute of it ,i hope you are to!!
Re the petrol fller
Something that's been mentioned to me in advance of this problem is to use a couple of dabs of JB Weld Epoxy - from Halfords etc. Fixes anyting to everything as far as i can make out. I've used it to repair broken plastic hinges on a freezer lid - five years ago now!!, Fix in engine bay panel fixing studs (cerbera owners will know the problem) and to glue a clay tandoor oven used several several times a week at temperatures of 200C in the oven and with all sorts of hot stuff inside it....hasn't even discoloured yet. Oh and it's petrol resistant.....
