Kas Kastners Triumphs Book - RF4228
This book has 252 pages packed with handy fix-it articles illustrated with with colour and black and white photographs. There are loads of technical tips and even more stories from Kas's racing and competition days. It also contains stories on Triumph cars from Australia with a 290 bhp TR-2, and in Belgium, a lap in a TR-6 on the SPA F-1 track, and up to Canada where a TR-3 body is fit to a TR-6 chassis; the kind of cars some of us dream about but never quite get accomplished. Also included is a closer look at Jerry Barker's Herald that turns "D" production lap times.
A main feature of this book is the building of a GT-6 racer from scratch. Choosing the best of three junkers, the racer is built up over a period of 20 months and described in detail; suspension, drive line, body additions and fixing, making lexan windows, the engine dyno run, roll cage building, painting, chassis work, engine building... all done right in the home garage of Chuck Gee, 2007 winner of the Kastner Cup in his top notch 1500 Spitfire. Detailed views of the engine building and preparation which produced 204 bhp at 8000 rpm will help you build any engine.
