  2. Old Tyres

    in General TR Technical

    Posted · Edited by delboy

    Just a warning   Although tyre tread depth might be OK It was easy for me to over look the age of my tyres 7 years old They do deteriate with age also the valve can crack in rim.

     Please be safe and check for age & wear   Stay safe and Have A Happy New Year

    Hi I am having trouble with my brakes pulling to the left on my TR6 .I have removed pads on right hand caliper and made sure piston are free and return moving freely.Checked rear r/hand brake all seams well clean and moving smoothly. Is there anything else to look for that will cause car to pull to left?

     

    Thanks Delboy

  16. Throttle linkage

    in TR6 Forum

    Posted

    Hi Guys - tried old posts but not come up with anything so looking to pick the TR6 knowledge bank again.

     

    I have a problem with my throttle linkage assembly on my Pi 1973 CR car. The top swivel post has worn badly and is causing the throttle to rest at c 2000rpm. I've removed the item and taken pics (see below) to show wear. As you can see as well as the wear on the collar on the right side the thread is shot so a new one is due. The bottom swivel post isn't worn and still available through Moss / Rimmer however the top & typically that's the one I need isn't available anymore. Does anyone have a spare lying around or can anyone suggest an alternative component / other supply.

     

    Much appreciated

    Hi had same problem of No6 plug fouling. Check if valves are opening and closing.On my 6 the lobes on cam shaft had worn due to poor oil feed A new cam shaft & followers and clearing oil ways fixed mine.Hope this helps.

    Im considering viewing the newly advertised Mimosa L reg car they have.

     

    Does anyone have any knowledge of the car or the dealer.

     

    I think the guy who runs it is 'Marko' who is a suscriber on here so hopefully will be a cut above most ;)

     

    I live a good distance away so dont want a wasted journey if it can be avoided

     

     

    Hi. I bought my wonder full TR6 from them two years a go with no problems .They let me test drive car on my own for half hour then without my request put car on four post ramp allowed to pock and prod as much as I liked my own M.O.T. if you like Price was average for good condition car.I would recommend them as a good dealer and Triumph Enthusiast.
