The Logical Device to Fit - if you have an Overdrive


Logic overdrive devices.

I have read with some amusement all the too-ings and fro-ings on this subject with some correspondents making it all sound desperately difficult.
What is the background? Well, when Revington TR was called TR Spares Southwest in 1982 ish, I designed a device to allow me to change gear and overdrive at the same time specifically with racing in mind but obviously I found that the device was a fantastic improvement on all cars both road and competition. I called this device a ’Logic Overdrive device’ (sound familiar?)
Initially the device was constructed of basic electrics but has since been redesigned and is now fully electronic.
RTR1001K
RTR1296NK
RTR8436
So how does it operate and how do you fit it? There is no need to remove the gearbox tunnel, the box of tricks and all the other fittings that come in the kit (which comes with full instructions), is wired into the existing wiring from the gearbox tunnel upwards to the switch and original relay (pre CF CR TR6 cars). A flick switch RTR8436 is used to operate the system and in the case of TR4-6 the original switch can be modified to become a flick switch (Meaning momentary operation with self-return). The modus operandi is this: Whatever gear or state of overdrive the car is in when the ignition is turned off, the overdrive will be off when you turn on the ignition again. When overdrive is required (in an overdrive enabled gear of course), flick the switch. When a non-overdrive gear is required from an overdrive gear, flick the switch. If a fast change is required from say 2nd overdrive to non -overdrive 3rd , just move the gear lever to 3rd and the logic device will disengage overdrive for you as you pass through the gear shift gate. This applies to any gear change up or down the gearbox where the start point was an overdrive gear.
We recommend a light on the dash to identify the overdrive state.  And it is worth noting that both negative and positive earth devices are available.

Two types of kits are available RTR1001K which is a basic unit suitable for both positive and negative earth and RTR1296NK, RTR1296PK which provide a facility to dim the indicator lamp independently for both day and night. The ‘N’ and the ‘P’ in these part numbers indicates negative and positive earth variants.
To find out prices and more, just click on the part numbers above or type these part numbers into the search box on our website www.revingtontr.com 
That is the history and I can confirm these units have been sold by their thousands and continue to work faultlessly in many applications (not just TR’s) around the world, so now there is no need to go searching for components to build a device that may or may not work, it has all be designed for you and been field tested in thousands of cars for the last 30 years.

RevingtonTR - Bosch PI Specialists

At RevingtonTR we have been repairing standard PI installations and designing and installing our own Bosch fuel pump kits for many years. Our design has been copied by many but we believe never bettered. With a wealth of experience from our own workshops and working with an approved Bosch distributor we are able to design the best installation for your TR. There have been several changes to Bosch fuel pumps over recent months that have led to some poor supercessions in pump specifications from various suppliers. Working with our Bosch distributor we have ensured our pumps are the correct specification for the intended purpose. Our kits have pumps with the correct flow rates and pressures to ensure your PI system operates with optimum performance. A tap also ensures the system can be isolated if required. A see through filter to help initial installation (which is later replaced with an aluminium sleeve) helps servicing and enables you to visually check for fuel contamination. Our hoses and fittings are also made specifically for our installation by a local manufacturer. Tight quality control and high quality parts ensure you get  great performance from  a RevingtonTR Bosch Fuel pump conversion. Finally, being fitted in the wheelarch ensures unwanted fumes are kept out of the boot.Other kits may look similar but ours is the real thing

Our latest kit is  RTR4050XK  (click on the part number to see more detail).  It really is a must if you are considering a Bosch conversion.

2011 - Where did it go?

What a year, it has just flown by so quickly. Once again  we have had a busy year at RevingtonTR. Despite the tough economic situation around the world we are pleased to announce there is still a strong TR market out there. We have seen demand grow from area's with a strong currency particularly Australia. Our presence in the market place as TR specialists is spreading to more distant shores and we are seeing our shipments overseas grow. Parcel size to overseas markets has been a problem as many shippers ship on volume rather than weight. We will endeavour to keep shipping costs down during 2012.

Revington TR / TR Register Sprint and Hillclimb Championship roundup



What a fantastic year we have had, what with the rule changes and some great weather and yet another young champion to celebrate. It was a thrilling closely competed championship, with three potential champions at the last event of the season. As usual the 2011 season was wrapped up with a presentation dinner at Wroxton Hall Hotel near Banbury.

National Classic Car Show 2011

The Classic Car show at the NEC was a fantastic debut for the Police Car. Now with its refurbishment complete it stood proudly on display with other Special TRs on the TR Register stand. The TR Register had a great display that included a new lighting gantry that threw spotlights on all of the cars, a fantastic addition to show the cars at their best. The Police car had lots of visitors over the weekend, many not knowing that there was a Police variant. With a display board showing some history behind the car and a board at the side of the car detailing Neils efforts in the restoration process, the cars attendance at the show was a great success.

If you have any pictures of the car or stand then please send them to us so we can publish them to the wider world. **

High Quality Side Repeater Lamps From Revington TR

Recently Remanufactured- Now back on the market

 

Revington TR together with the TR Register recently re- introduced side repeater assemblies for TR4A, TR5 and TR250. All the lamps have been re-tooled from an original sample. Using laser technology to copy the sample and design the tool the final result is a faithful, high quality reproduction to the highest standard. The body itself is made from a modern aluminium alloy with an excellent chrome finish.

What makes them so good?

  •  The main gasket has the correct raised edge and the correct integral grommet on the back. The shape has been corrected to fit the original body shape. The original gasket shape was not the same as the body!
  • All parts are fully interchangeable with original parts, even down to the bulbs and bulb holders.
  •  The attachment studs are ¼” UNF and have been set at the correct angle.
  •  The flutes in the main body are identical to original samples. There is the correct number and the bull-nosed ends have been faithfully reproduced.
  •  The lamps were test fitted on unused Stanpart wings to verify the fit prior to tooling being laid down.
  •   The lamps are supplied, boxed and well-protected, with the appropriate Part Number and descriptive label.
All 4 versions are available:
(Amber/Amber for US market)

Battle against all odds for Triumph team at Snetterton MG Relay Race


Planning for this event was taken on board by John Davies and initially consisted of 6 cars in the team. However on the day because of personal and car reasons to team members had to drop out and we started the event as a 4 car team. Apart from the cars and drivers there are other people involved including Mike and Jan May of TR3 fame (CHUG) who kindly put us up before and after the race and acted as spotters on the day. Also Alec and Diane Pringle who acted as deputy team manager to John and time keeper.

Alec has written a short report which follows but although the team suffered some mechanical maladies the TR5 soldiered on and as a result even though the team didn't do very well, I had a great time and certainly got my moneys worth, considering the number of laps I ended up doing! As the weather was hot and the stints were long dehydration became an issue and I remember having a splitting headache after my first stint of an hour and fifteen minutes, which quickly went away after drinking a gallon of water.

If we accept this event as a learning curve, we will be back on October 14th 2012 to give a better showing. Put it in your diary now as spectators and helpers are always welcome.

Revington TR/TR Register Sprint and Hillclimb Championship Update

The weekend of the 6th August I took part in the MIRA Sprint at Nuneaton a round of our Hillclimb and Sprint Championship. Because of work and domestic pressures, this was in fact the first event in our championship I have been able to take part in this year. This is the first season in which Competitors have been competing under our new rule system. This new system is designed to encourage more people who wish to have a go to come join the championship as all class structures have been removed and one competes against a personal bogey time at each event where the bogey time is calculated by the championship organisers, based on information provided by the competitor about their car and their experience/ability. Whilst it's early days, we hope this new format will encourage many new competitors in the coming years.

TR4 POLICE CAR 4100HJ

Comm. No. CT7571O

This white TR4 was supplied new to Southend-on-sea County Borough Constabulary in May 1962. Superintendent Bill Burles allocated the car the task of ‘fast pursuit car’ a task which it performed very well according to officers that either drove the car or were observers at the time. The car was equipped with a Pye Radio, Winkworth bell, air horns, spot lamps, reversing lamp, windscreen mounted hand lamp, front and rear Police signs, rear stop sign and wing mirrors. All of which was fitted in the constabularies own workshops.

Barbados Rally Carnival 2011 Report


by Neil Revington

The Barbados Rally Carnival turned out to be one of the best rallies we have ever done. The stage rally used some very demanding Bajan roads which suited Ford Escorts with good suspension travel but that didn’t stop us having great fun in the TR5. The two part carnival consisting of a sprint at Bushey Park followed by a twelve hour stage rally in the north of the island which proved both demanding and exciting. It was certainly a rally of attrition but we finished 2nd in class behind David & Sarah Rayner in a Sunbeam Tiger.

Barbados Rally - First Report

Neil at Castle Combe in the same car ,"Targa" TR5
Sprint at Bushey Park went off without drama. All the local lads drove everywhere sideways which was spectacular to watch but proved not to be particularly quick.

Jimmy McRae and Francis Tuthill achieved best times of 1 minute 50 and 1 minute 51, whereas the winning local in a mega tuned silhouette starlet achieved 1 minute 48.

David and I achieved 2.04 and 2.05. But all of this is speculation as in typical Barbados fashion 3 days later we still haven't seen any official results.

We have carried out a recce for the rally next weekend but even that has been a little speculative as we so far haven't seen a road book.

We are definitely on Island time man!

Inertia Switch Kit - Fuel Pump Cut Off

Safety is Paramount - get one today
Revington TR's kit RTR8346K - Inertia switch kit, connectors and fitting instructions is a must for any car fitted with an electric fuel pump. In the unfortunate event that you are involved in an accident this kit will cut off the power supply to the fuel pump. It is a modern replacement for the original switch. 

As an aside when I used to drive more modern cars with this type of device fitted I also used it as an anti theft device. When leaving the car I would trip the switch with a sharp tap so that the car was immobilised. Reset the switch by pushing the button in before driving off and all was ready to go again, not its intended purpose but it worked for me.

Every car with an electric fuel pump should have RTR8346K fitted. Ensure you do have one and it is working. If you do need to order one please click on the link below
£31.76 exc vat, £38.11 inc vat. (as at 15/7/11)

Targa TR5 switches gear from Tasmania to 'Barbados Historic Carnival' stage rally

I built my powder blue TR5 specifically to compete in Australia's Targa Tasmania closed road stage rally. For all sorts of reasons the car never competed in this event but has found a second home in the Barbados Historic Carnival closed road stage rally.

The car will be driven by me and navigated by Sue Revington with support from my old friend Ian (Mac) McGillivray. Last year Bernard Northmore who shares a TR with me from time to time on road rallies suggested we took the TR to Barbados to take part in this event. Unfortunately last year wasn't convenient but the "deal" was so good that I made sure I was free to do it this year. Even if Bernard had wanted to navigate he wasn't going to get a look in as Sue decided that she was not going to let me go to Barbados without her and that she would be occupying the navigators seat.

RevingtonTR Speedo - SIC, Cables You Can Count On

Original Manufacture Service Interval Counter Cables -UKC4655

We are currently on a mission to bring as much of our original manufacture and old stock to the surface and back to the market place. The latest piece we have uncovered is a service interval counter (SIC) cable UKC4655. This lower part of the speedo cable for TR7  runs from the gearbox to the  SIC and was used on the Federal car using 1 SIC. If I remember correctly this was a heavier cable than usual for speedos and might even had some heat protection for the higher underbody temperatures found on this first catalyst loaded TR. This is original old stock and not a reproduced cable.

"Spider" Window Winder Handles TR4-TR6

Door bar plus Spider handle Equals Open Window

RevingtonTR has been at it again! We have manufactured a window winder in aluminium for the TR4-TR6.
The 3 legged 'Spider' design with 'sporty holes' in each leg replaces the window winder handles on TR4-6 cars as the original winder handles will not fit with the door bars of some roll cages in place.

This spider handle kit is an essential fitment when a roll cage with door bars is fitted to a TR4, 4A, 250, 5 or 6. Invariably the door bars are so close to the window winder handles that the original handles will not fit at all, and if they can, they cannot be operated. The spider handle is operated by turning the wheel until the next  arm  becomes visible above the door bar, so this can be operated, then another and so on so that full operation of the window is available.

The kit includes handle, boss, fixings screws and roll pins for both doors.
Part No. RTR7275K Ex VAT: £68.40 Check out the web site or give us a call.

RevingtonTR have recently re-manufactured the steering column support bracket 607429. This is the RHD version. Finished to a great standard there is no longer a need to use rusty second hand parts. Available from stock, click on the link below for more details and to order on line.
RHD Steering column support bracket

RevingtonTR reintroduces “unavailable parts” to the Triumph TR Market.

Revington TR has been busy over the last few months remanufacturing parts that have not been available for some time.

Handbrake Rod and Knob TR4A-6, Spitfire, Herald, Vitesse, GT6
148082
This part is for those of you that give blood every time you apply your handbrake. This happens when the rod protrudes through the knob and pierces your thumb in the worst case but in any case is a painful experience… Revington TR have had the rod and knob modified and remanufactured. A washer welded on the rod keeps the knob in place and prevents it from moving down the rod. These reintroduced parts under the numbers 148082, 141688, 132588 and 134001 are available now from Revington TR. These parts are also suitable for Spitfire, Herald, Vitesse and GT6.

"806603 and 706240 have arrived!!!"
Item 3, 806603 is the Surrey frame. There have been reproduction parts of this number available previously of less than ideal shape. The Revington TR frame has been manufactured for Revington TR and tried and tested on original bodies and found to be an excellent fit. Associated with this frame is the rear bar 706240. This has also been manufactured by Revington TR and found to be a fantastic fit. Both parts are in stock and available from Revington TR.

Original stock items
156111-22

We are now uncovering original stock items that we have been holding for some time. These items have not seen the light of day for many years. Recently uncovered items are an eccentric steering lock stop that gives variable clearance of 16 to 20 mm. These items are usually essential when fitting wider wheels/tyre combinations. Fitting them stops the wheel/tyre fouling the suspension components. Under the number 101407 for the eccentric one or if you need a fixed clearance of 22mm see part number 156111-22. Both of these items are available from RevingtonTR today.

Rally Costa Brava Historic 2011

31st March – 3rd April

This historic regularity rally, open to cars built before 1985, as the name suggests is run in the mountains behind the Costa Brava. The rally is centred at the sea-side town of Lloret de Mar and consists of approximate 900km, 400 of which are competitive. The first stint began up in the mountains on Thursday night through to the early hours of Friday morning. There were further stages on Friday morning followed by a test at Sils Go-Kart circuit, where it was necessary to attempt to drive the circuit at a constant 50kph. However as go-kart circuits are generally very tight, this was all but impossible and the test became a flat-out thrash.
