No need for Anti Freeze This Winter

Use Evans Classic Cool 180

Since the launch of  Evans Classic Cool we have been asked the same questions many times, "does it work" and the answer is a resounding "YES"! RevingtonTR would not offer anything for sale without testing it first. So Evans Classic Cool was put to the test in Neils own car, undergoing extensive testing and evaluation. It has prooved itself in rallies and extended driving under arduous conditions. Neil was delighted with the results and had to make it available to the rest of the market place. With winter coming I'm sure your considering what antifreeze might be required.

Instead of using anti freeze, now is the time to make the move and change to Evans. 
No need to use anti-freeze EVER again when Evans Classic Cool is used.

The coolant is completely water free and therefore will not freeze all the way down to -40 deg C, it will not boil all the way up to 180 Deg C and  there will be no corrosion due to there being no water! It operates at much reduced pressure thus improving the longevity of hoses, the water pump, seals and other cooling system components.

The system has to be free of water to work effectively so some preparation is required. (Prep fluid is not required if the engine is dry ie after a rebuild and had no water in the system).This is carried out using Evans Prep Fluid. Evans prep fluid is used to condition the system, its primary role is to remove water from the system. 5 litres will be enough for systems up to 8 litres capacity.  

The system is then filled with the correct amount of Evans Classic Cool 180, which is available is multiples of 5 litres.

For reference TR's have the following capacities: -

TR2-4A approximately 8 litres

TR250, 5, 6 approximately 6.5 litres

TR7 approximately 7.6 litres

TR8 approximately 11 litres


Remember it is not only TR's or Classics that Evans 180 works with. Any car or motorbike, classic or modern will benefit from this product. In addition we can supply Vintage Cool 180 which is specially formulated to suit vintage cars and motorbikes as well as Power Cool 180 which is suitable for racing cars and motorbikes.

RevingtonTR's Heater Kits - Real Winter Warmers

It's not yet winter but its on its way.

RevingtonTR - Making New Connections

Connector Block 150640


RevingtonTR previously manufactured this connector to supply to the trade and retail. It has been unavailable for several months. We are now very pleased to announce that the connector will be available again at the end of September 2012.







                    

                   3D "X-Ray" Of  The Connector

  

The connector is a direct replacement for TR6 part 150640 and is identical in every way. The outer shell is white plastic with a 4 way connector embedded inside. It is intended to connect 4 heavy duty cables together via 9.5mm Lucar connectors. This connector will be useful for ANY car where an alternator conversion is being fitted or simply where up to 4 heavy duty cables need connecting together.



This connector offers a tidy and neat solution for connecting 4 heavy duty wires together using 9.5mm Lucar terminals. It can also offer additional connections if only two or three connections are in use presently enabling additional applications to be connected safely such as RevingtonTR's Auxiliary fuse box kit RTR8170K. So, by using this connector you can eradicate untidy and potentially dangerous connectors and installations

On cars where there is no easy way of connecting to the main electrical feed wire (usually a thick brown wire) this can be cut and the connector introduced with 9.5mm Lucar terminals crimped onto the brown wires to allow for additional services. 



Connector in packaging



This item is a great little connector that has been missing from the market place for some time.

150640 is priced at only £9.45 exc vat or £11.34 inc vat. You can order directly from RevingtonTR on our web site at www.revingtontr.com  or from any good TR Parts supplier.

TR International- Malvern- August 11th -12th 2012

It's that time of year again. The International seems to come around quicker and quicker every year. RevingtonTR will be attending again this year, under cover in Wye Hall, hopefully trying to avoid the sun baking the ground rather than rain soaking it! We will be bringing a display of Revingtons own products and other great products available from our catalogue. We will be supported by an expert from Evans Classic Coolants who will be available for questions. We will also have a chassis featuring many of our kits and modifications.

We will not be bringing a great deal of stock to sell at the show, so if there is anything you require please give us a call beforehand. Let us know what you require and we can ensure we take it with us.

We are looking forward to a great weekend and we hope you are too. As always, we look forward to meeting old and new customers and friends. See you all soon.

A New Way To Cool Your Engine

TR's Sent to Coventry - A Great Day Out.

We had an unusual but extremely interesting run out with the Cotswold Vale group of the TR Register on Father’s day Sunday the 17th of June. Sue and I took 3VC to meet up with Terry Smith and Jacky at his house in Evesham then joined a convoy of TR’s on our way to Coventry airport.

Air Atlantique have made Coventry airport their home where they look after an amazing array of classic aeroplanes. They have amongst other fabulous airworthy craft, a De Havilland Rapide, a Venom, a Dove and a Meteor.

Recently retired from service however they have kept a DC6 and converted it into a restaurant and bar.

After parking our cars in front of an Avro Shackleton we set off for the bar and the restaurant where we had an excellent meal and a few bevvies before having the opportunity to walk around (and in) most of the aircraft. We were also privileged to see the Venom and the Meteor fire up and fly off to a local air display.

Thanks to Terry Smith for organising a fabulous day out combining all my favourite things, Aircraft, TR’s, good food and beer, good company and of course not forgetting Sue who knew from the start she would be driving home: well it was father’s day!

French Revolution is a Revelation - Natalies First Rally

Taking part in the French Revolution 2012 was a great experience; it being my first rally it was hard to know what to expect, how to prepare and if I was going to have any idea what I was doing. The answer to the later was “no, I didn’t have a clue on day one what I was doing!” but this for me was a great challenge and I tried to rise up (slowly but surely) to the superior standard of the dear Mr Neil Revington, but this was hard!

Bratislava or Bust Rally - Support Revington Junior as he raises money for charity



As the crow flies, it is a mere 750 miles between the cities of Canterbury in Kent, and the Slovakian capital of Bratislava. No big deal, you may think, but this journey is to be made not by one of our feathered friends, but by two young engineers who have decided to raise money for charity by taking part in a sponsored rally. Marcus and his girlfriend Stacey will not have the luxury of a direct route but instead will cover an estimated 1,400 miles (one way) as part of ‘Bratislava or Bust’, a journey which will wind its way through seven countries in as many days at the beginning of August.

TR4 Switch Plinth 706882

Moulded plinth TR4 706882

RevingtonTR have recently remanufactured the TR4 switch plinth 706882. Early cars were fitted with a cardboard plinth part number 705206 which was prone to severe warping, later a solid plastic part was used. RevingtonTR's  part number 706882 is a sturdy fibreglass moulding identical in appearance to the later plastic part complete with "leather graining" finish. There are several reproductions on the market which are poor quality and badly shaped or just a thin plastic cover. As we have an unused late plastic Stanpart sample as used on later cars, we have had our own parts made in black fibreglass to the correct shape. Customers will need to cut out the switch and choke cable holes as required.

The date is approaching rapidly and the  contents of the day still have to be finalised but it is sure to be another great day.

As usual we will be opening all of our used part  storeage areas to our visitors so that you can have a look through our second hand parts.

We will have part built chassis's and splendid examples of completed cars on display. 

At the Open Day you will  meet with like minded people and view the fantastic cars of many of our customers. The car park could be termed a show in itself. Our previous events have drawn some great examples of the TR range and other marques. It is sure to be a great day.
