That says more about TVR build quality than your powers of observation I think. biggrin

The fact that, on the Cerbera, the oil filter take off plate is held to the chassis rail by an exhaust clamp, shows that they used anything to solve a problem. yes

I thought it was going to be that there's no earth strap on the engine, hence the throttle cable is acting as it. Isn't that why the sheathing has melted?
