PodOne Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hi all While I appreciate google and workshop manuals give valuable information its hard to beat going over someone elses complete car with a camara to take reference shots of the areas of interest, anywhere in Yorkshire would be ideal. My car a is an early UK 1969 PI bought in bits and is currently undergoing a "welderthon" to the shell. Although all the major parts are present the interior apart from most of the dash/seats is missing as are many smaller items, There are other bits in boxes with no idea as to where they fit and I'm gradually collecting parts. So I'd love to have the opportunity to take some pics and have a chat to someone with a complete car or one in the throws of being restored following a strip down as I suspect he/she is going to be able help fill in a lot of the gaps. Many Thanks Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bob-menhennett Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Andy https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/parts-accessories-catalogues/tr5-6-parts-catalogue-tr5002.htmlthis link will take you to a 264 page reference of parts , parts numbers and helpful technical advice , plus detailed schematics.Get hold of a paper version. Rimmers also do a slightly smaller version. Contact you local Group and seek out the guys who have done TR6 restorations themselves. Google searches , Images of TR6 engine bays , gearboxes ,brake systems, back axles ,overdrive , Pi systems , fuel pumps , etc , etc will get the grey cells working. Posts on the Forum , either TR6 or technical section , with a photo of the unrecognised part will normally produce an answer... even if it's a " that never came off a TR6 " response. It does happen. Combination of all the resources available to you will crack the problem and the guys and gals on the Forum are always up for a challenge.

Keith66 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hi Andy The things you've ask for as help will be endlessly useful, after all there is nothing like seeing one in the flesh so to speak. But one web site i can thoughouly rcommend is Ed Hollingsworths at Bullfire.net . http://bullfire.net/TR6/TR6-1/TR6-1.html Ok its a US car so no Pi and various other differences but it is a wealth of info ideas and great pic's. Certainly hepls me keep up the enthusiasm for a project. Cheers Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rvwp Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hi Andy, I found the Practical Classics Triumph TR6 Restoration guide invaluable when totally rebuilding my TR6 Body, I had to cut the body in half and repair front and back sections then remount on the repaired chassis with new floors/inner outer cills etc.All this is described in the guide. I have a an very good copy that I wont use again. If your interested PM me. Regards Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He seems to salvage and repair stuff most people would consider putting in the bin! Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Tim Hi Tim thanks, but a bit far however I might come back to you if nothing more local pops up. Great site! but after years of moding various cars I'm banned from doing anything to this one shame as I think it would suit a supercharger and EFI.
