TRsixchris Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Does anyone know where I could source a scuttle vent lid for my TR6. It currently has the plastic grill from the later series cars installed but I would like to re-instate the correct lid. there seems to be a manufacturing problem with the reproduction replacements at the moment so none of the usual suspects have any in stock.

brian -r Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi Chris The new vent lids when available are poor quality and may not be about for some time yet. I managed to locate a used item a few months ago but paid a hefty premium. Try TR Bitz, TRshop or any of the other outlets that keep used parts. Be prepared to pay £80 plus at the moment, unless a club member has one there prepared to part with. Mine was beyond repair so had no choice other than to replace. Good luck with your search Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

colin3511 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Try Mark on 07712 129831. I bet he's got 10+ on the shelf and very reasonable to deal with too. Colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRsixchris Posted November 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Hi Colin, Who is Mark that you suggest I contact? Thanks Chris Edited November 12, 2018 by TRsixchris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colin3511 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 He owns a Triumph and Jaguar restoration company. He has hoards of spares. Give him a call and tell him what you need. He has helped me out with a couple of really obscure parts recently. Colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
