It was a really sweet car to drive but it was a tremendous piece of poo otherwise...
Constantly tinkering with ignition and balancing carbs....but that was all child's play until the wiring harness shorted and caught fire while driving it....it took 9 months to get the correct harness and I sold it right after that.
One of my grad school professors had a TR-6, in BRG. Gorgeous little cars and every bit as persnickety as their forebears, indeed.
Another grad school era buddy of mine (albeit in a different discipline and at a different university) bought a TR7 (hardtop) ca. 1977. It was an interesting vehicle. It was also orange.

They also called the TR7 the Wedge... I never heard anything good about it.
Had a friend who had a Triumph GT6+
He had similar issues with fuel delivery and wiring/electrical problems.

This morning wasn't too. Bad but the wind must have shifted because it's really thick right now. We need rain bad!Gustard X26 Pro DAC

You know the THING
I JUST saw one the other day. It was a 2 door. It was red with white top. It was definitely restored. The driver was young and had a smile on his face for some reason. I liked the color scheme.
I hadn't seen a THING in many, many years! I think most rusted away a long time ago.

Oh to ride in one of those.

There's a fellow at audiokarma who has a restored Thing.
Beastly cool.

It makes me a little less apprehensive about trying a soldering iron. -
I agree! What am I worried about?
I was shocked to see my RTi12's cross-over board being the size of a Rubik's cube or smaller.
Heart surgery #2 and #3 is now facing me.

@BlueBirdMusic didn't the 924 come with a 4cyl audi engine?
@CH46E, I had to look it up. My memory capabilities have slipped a little.
"The Porsche 924 used an Audi four-cylinder engine and a rear-mounted transaxle." (from internet)
By the way, I now drive a made in Japan 1998 RAV4 with about 130K miles.
Prior to the 1998 RAV4, I drove a 1999 made in Japan RAV4 with over 320K miles totaled when a 16 year old pulled out in front of me. It was the best car I have ever owned. Going backwards in car years now.

You can make your own replacement and make it as large as you like -- at some point, though, the volume of the XO and its components could alter the speaker system tuning. Srsly.
The alternative -- which is (IMO) a danged good one -- is to outboard the XO.
Many of the cool kids do this.

I hear you.
Even with the humungous volume of these RTi12s internal volume?
I know I'm not going $$$$ on new big/giant caps on these. In fact, I'd love to get normal replacements for the CAPS. I see the resistors I bought are twice as long as the originals. The 5 watt mills are the same size but they might burn up like the originals.
I think I can make the 12 watt Mills work.
Now..it looks to me the tweeter resistor is mounted inside the same copper path. ?
I thought the electrical path had to go in one way and out the other on a different coper path. Am I missing something?

Looks like there are two separate "traces" connected to the resistor if I am interpreting the photo correctly. It also looks like the PC board itself may have gotten somewhat toasted -- which could be a problem.

Thanks Doc.
The 2 little solder points under the resistor are coming from the resistor. Almost center of the pic. but to the right and up a touch. I looked at them in 2 different study times but didn't look at the other 2 resistors to see if they are on the same copper trace. I should have. Most likely I'll go out tonight after dinner and look at the others.
I was wondering about the scorched earth/board issues!

I went out after dinner and sure enough, the other 2 resistor's legs are pegged to separate traces.
Looking at the schematic, I see the other 2 resistors interacting with other components of their circuits.
The Tweeter's resistor is ON a straight line----> to a Capacitor.
