[Triumph Tune manifold and exhaust fitting]

Good afternoon all. Thank you all for your help. I, (actually my TR guru with a cutting disc and a welding torch), have finally succeeded in fitting my SS exhaust. It took a lot of effort and a whole day to accomplish but it's on and looks great. Fortunately I have changed to an alternator but I am going to have to change my bomb type starter as the clearance as pointed out is just not sufficient.

Thanks.

[Tr3A anti roll bar]

I'm trying to fit an anti roll bar to my TR3A. I have a Rimmer type RW3082 roll bar kit but can't workout the correct way to fit it. In particular there are four spacers which I can't workout where they fit and the angle of the drop arm and the roll bar don't seam to line up. Has anybody fitted one of these or have good instructions how to?Triumph TR2-3A Front Anti Roll Bar _ Rimmer Bros.pdf

Yes that's the type I was thinking of. So they can clamp the joint tight and have the advantage of being able to be undone easily - good. Thanks

Thanks Ian. It will be about ten days before I my TR friend can give me a hand. In the meantime as it's a stainless steel system has anyone used the SS bands instead of the normal galvanised exhaust clamps, and is there any advantage?

 

Regards.

Thanks again Ian. I was at our local South Downs group meeting last night and as a result ( as I anticipated) one of our group who has been rebuilding Trs for a long time is going to come and give me the benefit of his experience. Incidentally having read your technical article some years ago I have the bracket you refer to which attaches to the rear gearbox mounting. I'll also take a look at the Revington part numbers you mention. They may be necessary or they may give me ideas.

Regards

Des.

Hi guys. A correction to the exhaust system should read FS5001 (GT stainless system)

Thanks for the replies guys. Like you Ian I chose the TT system because of its association with SAH which was the one to have in my youth! The manifold fits okay although as mine is a TR3A with a bomb starter and an alternator the pipework is a tight fit around these, but it fits. The problem starts with the Y piece and the adaptor pipe because they foul the chassis and then the bend seems wrong for the hole in the X section. The part numbers I have are TT1100S (manifold), TT5019 Y piece made by Falcon, Adaptor pipe FST 5027 made by Falcon, and two piece system (round box and straight pipe) FSTT5002 again made by Falcon, ( the long pipe is FSTT5003 I believe). The whole exhaust system then works out too long to fit the rear support bracket. The exhaust box by he way starts just before the back axle. My car is supported on the chassis so I hope that there will be sufficient clearance once it is on its wheels. If I could get the exhaust to fit correctly in the right order of parts through the chassis then I could cut the pipe for the correct length. Any ideas or any alarm bells. This is a chassis up rebuild so I can't take to my local friendly garage and can't rework any bends.

Hi. I'm rebuilding my TR3A and have bought a Triumph Tune manifold and stainless exhaust system, but I'm having trouble fitting it. Has anyone done this successfully?
