Yet another Novice question! I notice that my cylinders have been lined / Sleeved. Does this infer that the engine had a hard life prior to my ownership? Aidan

I do like that Colin. I have found another, I know not triumph standard but it's more like tap with a spout! Easier to catch the water when changing the coolant! Aidan

Its 1/4" BSP if anyone else wants to know - I have now found plenty of alternatives Thanks

Hi Has anyone found an alternative tap that fits our engines block coolant drain? I don't really want a plug but was thinking the radiator one might fit? Anyone know of anything else? Aidan

So quick update Block and flywheel skimmed Bores honed Crank polished Bearings and rings ordered Now starts the re-construction 😊 Aidan

Hi Pete, To me we'd just need two things, one the group of people that have the kit to make them and willing to do so and a list of the parts with pics for people to ahow interest and then when a price is given, pre-order AND give a deposit. I guess at least the last part would have to be done by the shop? Aidan

No problem as said let me know once you have some to sell. I don't need the lens just the base. I'm happy to make up the contacts- that's more in my line - I think I have something that could be converted, then it's just a fine soft rivit to attach them

Well let me know if you make some! Alternatively, would you share the 3d file(s)? I could get one printed off over here Aidan

Hi - Its the base of the interior lamp unit. Originals are plastic but when 50 years have passed by te plastic becomes very brittle you can see this in the picture. The Lens for some reason seem to survive. I believe there may be a small demand for the bottom part. (Note this is the one without a switch lever on the light so a pretty simple shape Aidan

do we still have a 3D member @ the TSSC? I was just wondering as I have been quoted silly money for a scan and print - hundreds of pounds! - very silly! Aidan

Hi Re the loom to the rear of the GT6, does anyone know what a thick WB would be for - probably 30A at a guess thx Aidan

Hi Colin Sent you a message. Please let me know Thanks Aidan

Hi Colin Looks to be the right part, there should be a purple (if the wiring is the standard colours) cable coming off from the main line that feeds the roof light. Message me if you don't want or have need of it, I'd be happy to buy off you Thanks Aidan Looking @ Autosparks site the 1810 is the full loom and shows as two parts, 1816 seems to be the body / tailgate / Tail section - Colin do you know what part you did use? This could be what I need 😊

Just a quick question back on subject, I notice the wiring harness on Spits are split into Main and Body, Anyone know if it is the same for Mk1 GT6's? Just thinking if the mice have been at my "Rear Wires" 😁, it might be an idea if I could replace the body harness (if that exists? Thanks

Cheers Pete

Hi - Yes it was Haynes, now checked my factory one and there is no listing for the studs, just "Cylinder Head attachment" - still 65-70 lbft So just to confirm Mk2 GT6 Engine, studs to block - shall we say "firm hand tight" AND Nuts with washers 65-70 lbft I just want to be sure on this Aidan

No probs, ah well, back to a set of nuts and washers from Canleys! Still, an earlier discussion here was discussing just hand tightening studs! Or is that the mk1 block once more?? How the fudge do you torque up studs?????? Confused of Lincolnshire

Please see the change in title! Have mentioned this previously 😄

Not that one the 7th from the bottom in the picture

So looking once more And yes I read it wrong but Cylinder Head stud middle section at the bottom 65 to 70??? Is that right? From the conversations above it can't be Am I misunderstanding ????

Hmm sure I read 70 in the manual... will double check must have read it wrong! Aidan

Nick We're you able to torque these nuts up to 70 lbft?

Roger / Nick Any idea on what torque they are suitable for? We're you able to torque them up to 70 lbft? Mini spares didn't know their torque capacity only that they were fine on minis @ 50 lbft Thanks

Wow! they are a cheaper option Thanks, I will ask Mini Spares for the specs just to make sure Aidan

do you have a Part number?
