The new pipes don't have the ridge formed on the ends of the pipes as the original ones do which help the hose stay in place
I silver soldered a ring off metal around the end of the pipe about 1/8" in from the ends

I bought one from moss a few years back and had the same issue, even the 'v' for the belt was well out, I had it re ground all over Inc. 'V' then balanced, next time engine apart will get it balanced with crank.

Hi
I had to replace the dash indicator to LED to cure similar issue

There can be an issue with the master cylinder piston sitting further in than with original master cylinder, so the clearance can still be to big when measuring across with a straight edge. I had to adjust the rod further out to compensate, I used the original master cylinder to check this.

Hello
Sorry for delay in replying
The Tiping valve is in the master cylinder, the attached PDF may help, if its attached ,I think you need to remove the reservoir to see it

Hi
You could check that the tilt valve in the master cylinder is seating correctly ,I had one that was stuck open
And no peddle.

Hi
Just looked at my wheels they don't have ET markings on them. I have 1/4" spcers on the front to stop any contact issues with suspension on full lock. I purchased mine from TR enterprises about 7 years ago.
I was speaking to Ian Inglis (iani on this forum) a month back he has same miniltes but had them made with no need for a spacer
Not sure where he purchased from but may be worth getting in contact
Regards Richard

Hi Lee
These are 7x15 Genuine miniltes, hopefully pic attached

Hello

Hi
Be aware that 035" gap may be correct measuring against the servo face, but the piston in the master cylinder can sit further in especially if not nos parts causing a bigger gap, I had a problem with long movement and trouble bleeding with new master cylinder checked against original one and piston was to far in, so adjusted nut to compensate. The 035" wood have been bigger to tighten up gap. An expantion gap should be there between servo rod and piston ,

Hi
Double checked
First size bore .860" piston is .847" dia
Second step down bore is .812" piston is .807" dia
This is from an original 1975 master cylinder other years may be different ??

Hi
Just checked a an orginal 1975 brake master cylinder.
Not sure of the servo inner dia. Approx 6' 225"
Master cylinder First bore is .860" 55/64" then steps down to .847" 13/16"

Hi
It may give you extra clearance to fit longer studs when assembled to car.

Hello
My brother is building a mk1 group4 rally car he was told that the prop from gearbox to diff should not be completely
In line as this can cause vibration but should be staggered, may be different with a fixed diff like TR

Hi
By breathing across the probe does it measure your own co2 which should be about 3.5 to 4% , you would know if it's in the basic ballpark I've used an old patient monitor before to get a basic reading.

Hello

Hello and apologies from a register member for not stopping to help, I was driving along the military road in the family car when the family shouted out tr6 and I was just happy to see one and reconised your car from the forum, had not realised you had broken down or would have stopped.
Hope got home and sorted ok
Apologies again Richard

Hi
I think Craig Aldersons wheels are 7" rims as I was looking at his car at one of the nationals a few years ago when I was looking for new wheels which have a deeper rim dish.

Hi,
I fitted a new steel carrier(unknown manufacture from a trade stall at stoneleigh) which had a smaller bore than the original worked fine on the bench but in use was very stiff so I Brought a bronze carrier and it was still binding on the shaft giving a hard clutch I got my brother to cylindrical grind it out to the standard steel size as the bore was smaller and it has since work fine, it appeares to me that bore to shaft clearance is quite critical to getting a smooth working clutch. Which ever carrier material is used

Power steering, TR6

Hi
I fitted CDD power steering over Christmas, the earlier version ran from the crank pully as described in the instructions on their webb site.
The latest version drives from the water pump pully with a shorter drive belt new pump supplied with double pully.
My observation when fitting which I did my self. Do not fit with the engine lifting Eye which instructions say can be left on if wished, with it left on the pump does not run square.
The pump pully was 3mm out of alignment so I made some spacers to align it, this is noticeable with the short belt, the older version with the longer belt to the crank would not have been noticable.
The other issue I had was the front cross member in front of the engine. My car is a 75US car and the lugs which support the radiator struts are below the bar
Which ment they prevented the hoses being attached to the rack, I had to cut them off and re weld on top of the bar early cars ok google images helped on this to spot the deference. I think the original kit had a new one supplied looking at the kit diagram due to larger crank pully
Lastly if webbers fitted and depending on filter type the mount bracket for the reseviour can't be used and has to be mount in a different position
I did pass my findings to Alistair at Stoneleigh triumph spares day
Hope this is helpful Richard
