[Dash top re-trim]

Thanks Mark,

Have just checked the price,  £210.

I'll have to think about it. I might buy the vinyl to recover first and if that doesn't give satisfactory results bite the bullet and pay the cash.

[Dash top re-trim]

I may have answered my own question. I have found that Park Lane Classics supply vinyl.

[Dash top re-trim]

My dashboard top has gone brittle and cracked. I see that people have re covered with vinyl.Does anyone know where to buy the vinyl from?

I have some vinyl but it has a backing and doesn't  seem flexible or stretchy enough to fit over the existing dash top.

Thanks

[TR250/TR4? Wiper motor mounting grommets]

Just wondering if I could use short lengths of rubber pipe. One diameter to fit the hole in the bracket with the screwed bar inside and the larger to cut rubber washers to go either side of the bracket   between the large washers.

Eddie

[TR250/TR4? Wiper motor mounting grommets]

I had no idea what the grommets looked like or how they fit.

I know now which is the beauty of this forum. 

Thanks  to everybody.

[TR250/TR4? Wiper motor mounting grommets]

I have tried a search for this topic but it came up with gearbox mounts and other topics before even mentioning  wiper motors.

I have the 3 threaded bars, washers and nuts but no grommets.

I can't  find anyone that sells these. Does anyone know where to buy them and have a picture/diagram of the arrangement.

Thanks

[TR250 carburettor throttle connection]

Nigel , thanks for the photos. I have bought some brackets and linkages off ebay for a Triumph 2500 which look very similar so I should be able to sort it out.

Hi Roger,

Do you take orders for the Surrey rear frame covers?

[Chrome v stainless bumpers]

Have had stainless bumpers on my TR6 for around 10 years. No problems with fitting apart from cleaning out some threads. Bought from Harringtons who seemed to be cheapest. Made in Vietnam I think. Not as shiny as chrome.

Hi Roger,

If these are still available I would like these to try on my TR250.eddie

Thanks

[TR250 carburettor throttle connection]

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have also tried phoning a few dealers but no joy.

Nigel if you could get a photo of the installation that would be good. What is your last photo?

Thanks

Eddie 

[TR250 carburettor throttle connection]

I cannot find any details of how to connect the throttle cable to the carburettors.

I suspect I may be missing bracket(s) 

. The 2 carbs are linked together but the is no obvious way of connecting a cable to them.

Can anyone point me to photos, diagrams etc to help out.

Many thanks

Eddie

[Backlight trim]

Thanks Tim and Chris,

I will check out TR shop.

Eddie

[Backlight trim]

I have a bare fibreglass backlight.  I see Moss have 2 trim pieces for the vertical front which are N/A. Is the rest of the visible fibreglass covered in vinyl and does anyone have a photo of the internal trim?

many thanks.

Eddie

[Door panels]

I know these have been covered many  times but has anyone used velcro or dual lock velcro to fix the panels? The clips don't seem long enough for my panel and the panel is recessed in the door so velcro thickness shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks Eddie

[B post trim]

Thanks Peter.

I have just found the Bullfire site which shows how to do it.

Eddie

[B post trim]

I have just realised that I am missing this trim and that it's around £50 at Moss for both sides.

Just wondering if some vinyl or leather and hardboard , if required, will do the job without spending the £50?

thanks Eddie

Hi,

Has anyone got a spare for sale?

Thanks

[TR6 PI NOT RUNNING PROPERLY]

Many thanks everyone for the advice.

Car now seems to be running reasonably well,starting straight away, ticking over at 800-900 rpm and revving up OK. Timing still slightly erratic but maybe it is the distributor kicking in.

Not sure what has made things better. Looked at the Triumph book rather than the Haynes manual and misread the ignition timing instructions and set at 24BTDC. Engine ran smoothly at that, then I realized the mistake and set back to 12BTDC and it still runs OK. Need to take it out for a run to see how it performs on the road.

For info the distributor is original, just back from Martin Jay, metering unit and injectors reconditioned by Neil Ferguson and bosch fuel pump, filters and relief valve from Malcolm in Wrexham so there shouldn't be any reason why it won't run OK if I have set up the timing properly.

Eddie

 

 

[TR6 PI NOT RUNNING PROPERLY]

Mike,

That might have been part of the problem. I pushed the hose further in the mu before last start. But engine is still spitting and timing is eratic. Getting closer to running OK but not there yet.

[TR6 PI NOT RUNNING PROPERLY]

Just replaced metering unit and distributor setting timing on both.

Car starts up straight away but accelerator does nothing and car is hissing and spitting.

Accelerator moves linkages but doesn't have any effect on engine.

With strobe on timing marks the timing is not steady.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Eddie

[vented brake discs mystery]

Just a thought, when the tyre is balanced would this account for the disc being out of balance.

[Parkside Tools]

Bought a 9" angle grinder a few years ago. Worked fine on the odd job for a few years then when used for several flags it packed up. So OK for light use which is what most people need.

[TR250 bonnet stripes]

Thanks everybody. The stripes definitely finish the car off and its good to know the trim can be sprayed separately and still look good. Unfortunately when I  unpacked the trim today both  front wing trims are squashed. I don't know if they can be pushed back into shape and I purchased them back in March so I don't expect a lot of joy from the seller.

Eddie

 

[TR250 bonnet stripes]

I will have everything sprayed separately. I don't know if there are any downsides but maybe the joint between wings and body won't be waterproof. Possibly I should use a clear silicon sealant.

The trim is stainless. Does this need a different primer?

Thanks again.
