CK's TR6 Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 I have developed small ABS protector caps that fit over the hood top frame locking pins to protect the hood when stowed down. See gimpsunlimited.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AarhusTr6 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Look nice. Did not know it was an issue but can see how it could cause damage over time. Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CK's TR6 Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Currently updating website. Price for caps reduced over 10% to $17.50. Problem is Her Majesty's taxing schemes. Best that we can figure out is that an item plus it's shipping has to be below 18 GB or you poor sods will pay through the nose. Open to suggestions that don't include falsifying customs information. On another note, we will be posting a new video concerning late model heater control plinth repair. If the large black plastic part of the plinth has cracked out it's mounting holes, we have a 3D printed replacement part. Swap over your wires, light bulb holder pieces, light bar and clip. The new part is reinforced in the mounting hole area and increase in thickness of webs. Quite robust. Estimated delivery 6-8 weeks. $59.99 As for the heater control plinth assembly, we will offer a complete assembly similar in appearance and function but not exactly the same. Estimated 3 months to offering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CK's TR6 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 That's the rub, from the US to the UK, first class parcel is cheapest. So, about $13.50. So, $27 to ship $17.49 in parts. Insane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aldpilot Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Thanks Alan. It’s not damage to the locking pins I want to protect, but the constant rattle I get from my pins when the hood is down and I don’t have the cover on......and yes I can hear it over the exhaust note.

AWZ106 Item 91 here https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/triumph/tr5-6/weather-equipment/hoods-hood-frames-fittings/hood-frame-fittings-tr5-6.html I have a similar issue with the zip slider on my TR3 tonneau. Took a while to find the source of the noise - only audible when the aeroscreens are removed and the screen is fitted. Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll see if I can find one later and check it will fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barkerwilliams Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 A few reasons I like the garden cane caps. They fit nicely They are made of silicone and therefore soft and cannot mark the hood and the material of the cap will not transfer to the hood. The are T shaped and the end has a large contact area to distribute any pressure. ...and being a Yorkshire man I like the fact they are very, very low cost.
