  2. Vintage triumphs

    in General

    Posted

    Hi people

    I was wandering how many other members have a vintage triumph in their garage? If there is enough of us perhaps we could have a vintage / veterans register. Unless there is one and I am missing something

  8. Joint triumph meeting the way forward?

    in General

    Posted

    Hi all

    im posting this on the general topic as I do not want it to be hijacked or go off tangent. Basically it’s my take on the long awaited joint venture of two of the many triumph clubs. 

    First of all the organising of the event fell short of the mark, you did a Stirling job with the resources you where given, however area’s that could be improved on

    1/ on site catering was woefull, 

    2/ the Tssc office was just shy of a party gazebo! Can we not invest a bit more, into the first public contact point, to a more functional mobile office.

    3/ the site layout was disjointed and separated  by the race course. No pedestrian access other then the track used by cars on an off the site. No traffic management at this point 

    4/ the traders including auto jumble need to be looked after. To the effect the chosen site should have an undercover shed /barn to house them. We got away with it this year as the weather could have been worse

    5/ camping facilities were limited

    The good points,

    1/ two large triumph clubs merging for an event.

    2/ entertainment was excellent

    3/ the event was held in a good position for all to attend 

    4/ the foot fall, or should I say tyre tread was good. It appeared everyone made an effort to go.

    So in summary, a marginal success. However,  the tssc and tr registered should have pushed the boat out further and hired a site that would cover my misgivings. You all know the site I have in mind . For those that don’t , Malvern. Just the other side of the m5. Yes I know it is expensive but the cost covered by two clubs should be able to bear it.

    If the weather had carried on as it was on Friday, the event would have suffered greatly. 

    To the management, you got away with it this year but please please don’t loose this momentum, make sure Gayden has the necessary infrastructure or better still re look at Malvern. 

    Those people that gave up there spare time and effort for the weekend thank you. Please dont take my remarks as negative but as constructive criticism and in that spirit if I can help with next year in anyway please call on me.

  11. last GT6 off the production line

    in General

    Posted

    My first GT6 was registered in September 1974 and was 24159, 59th from last, and I've never seen a newer one than that on the road. Unfortunately I had to sell it in the mid 90's and have regreted it ever since. It was TKG708N, in magenta as most of the very late ones seemed to be.

    Apparantly it was mot until july this year and is now on a sorn.The colour is now red  !

  12. last GT6 off the production line

    in General

    Posted

    As my car was first registered in June 1974 it must have been one of the last off the production line. I believe the last one was commision number KE (KF) 24218.  Mine is KE24018. Does any one own from this num on wards or do i own the last !!!! 

    According to one web site. Of the 74 registration, 57 are licensed and 77 are sorn.

    cheers. Shaun 

  13. valve guide seals

    in Engine

    Posted

    I suspect whoever recondition the cylinder head (gt6 mk3) got it wrong with reference the valve guides as the engine burns oil intermittently. It did have the mod to supply oil to the rear of the rocker shaft, i took it off which made a big difference. 

    Can any one direct me to a supplier of a set of valve seals. I know they where not fitted originally but they may be an easy solution.

    Any thoughts
