A vuvuzala Len - turn up the volume: Cheers, Andrew

Ian, These might be of use, albeit not exactly the same kit, but you'll get the idea. The first couple are pre-fitting a Diaphragm PRV (to stop resonance), the last two show the Diaphragm PRV fitted : Cheers, Andrew

But surely Triumph wouldn't lie Derek................. Cheers, Andrew

Derek, The CP sales brochure claims the steering wheel is 'leather clad' and the CR one has an even greater leather feel so I suspect they are. Cheers, Andrew

The 14.5" CR wheel is much nicer to drive with, it has a thicker and better padde rim with softer leather - makes using the 15" CP wheel feel like steering a boat. In the end it all depends how much originality you want. Cheers, Andrew

Looking great Andrew, get out and enjoy driving it. Cheers, Andrew

Yes Gareth, it finishes off the boot area nicely and stops any exposed paintwork getting scratched to death, particularly if a lot of touring is being done - must fit it to VUX. Cheers, Andrew

Depends how far down the 'originality' route you want to go Jonathan, so many owners incorrectly fit the back-board i.e it should be tucked behind the metal brace and screwed into place as shown below - to be honest it's a bit of a phaff, but correct: Black felt type material is glued to the N/S wheel arch on the exposed painted area (ignore the painted washer that's another story): Cheers, Andrew

Brendan, The trip is planned for June 19 but have decided to go to Corsica another time - we're doing a week each in Spain, South of France and Italy. Thanks Paul, it's getting a bit full but hopefully room for another bike with some jiggling around with the space. Gareth, No, they are 185/70/15 Vredesteins which do look good and give almost the same rolling radius as the original 165/15. Cheers, Andrew

Hi Brendan, Al Warner (Director C&B) is a very good mate of mine and I remember your TR6 at Wimbledon when he was doing some work on my 3A in early 2003, look closely below..... Hope you manage to get back in contact with WVX. I bought back my old TR6 (VUX) this summer after 5 years of being without it and being in the doghouse, see: https://www.tr-register.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/67010-vux-is-now-back-home/ Never give up hope. Cheers, Andrew

Pete, No bending needed, the brackets have plenty of vertical adjustment so I suspect I've just set the seats a little too high. The MX5 seats look good in the Tomato - I wanted my seats from Paul to be in leather with horizontal slats similar to the original pattern, no holes or diamond pattern though....... Cheers, Andrew

Tom, You can, but you'll need to have deep pockets for the restoration: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-TR6-circa-1969-pair-of-seats-requiring-refurbishing-as-photos/173597055219?hash=item286b30d8f3:g:O9kAAOSwwhhbMpex:rk:2:pf:0 Cheers, Andrew

Roger, I've got Sprint Classics on TuRK and VUX, great tyres for touring (they seem to last forever) and the odd bit of spirited driving - got them from Blackcircles. Cheers, Andrew

Yep, congrats to Glen and his team at Protek and all the sponsors, e.g. the TR Register, Moss etc. Cheers, Andrew

Thanks for the feedback folks, much appreciated and very useful. Cheers, Andrew
