Guy Vinall Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hi. I have a 1973 RHD TR6. Hoping to do a few small jobs during lockdown. I would most grateful if someone could email a photograph showing where the leather tool roll strap should be located in the boot & similarly the jack? Also, has anyone moved the steering lock/ignition to an alternative location? Currently, at 6"2', my wife believes I may have to go on a Pilates/Yoga course to use the current system!

Macleesh Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Early cars have the key in the centre console, if you're happy to sacrifice the security of the steering lock it would I imagine be trivial to convert to that arrangement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I moved the ignition switch on my 74 to where it was on earlier cars. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guy Vinall Posted November 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi Ed. Thanks so much for the reply, very helpful. I will move the ignition over the next few months, possibly to a position on the dashboard drivers side. What a superb restoration. The car looks immaculate. Interestingly enough, my youngest son has an MGB GT in the same or similar colour, christened "Colonel Mustard" Presumably BMC shared colours around the various marques. Although, for a change, I'm not restoring my TR6 I am bringing certain areas up to a higher standard and your picture library will be a great help! Kind regards, Guy Vinall Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Iruka Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hi Guy, have attached a photo showing the location of the tool strap in the boot on my car. Not sure of the jack position though. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guy Vinall Posted November 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Thank you Steve, just what I wanted. My cousin from Chester ordered a new TR6 from Triumph and the colour of your car looks exactly like yours? He recently gave that car to his nephew, jammy little beggar! Regards, Guy.

Iruka Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Glad to help. Body is off the chassis now, just starting a full resto! Must be mad. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
