Hi there Richard thanks for that I will give him a bell regards Iain

Hi there I have a real problem with my electrics on my GT6 MK3 and was wondering if anyone near Orpington knows of an auto electrician that they trust can help me? I can do all other things but this is just beyond me, my usual mechanic has bypassed things and made a Real mess, it looks like spaghetti behind the dash and I need someone to install a radio cassette and wire it up. All help very much appreciated regards Iain

Hi there yes I think that's the one where you put gear oil 90 in the upright above the trunnions, I'll have ago with the 11mm. thanks IainGT6

Hi there thank you all for your suggestions and I did infact contact the club and got an answer that actually worked,but now I have a different question does anyone know what size spanner I need to change thge bolt on the trunnion area so I can put in the grease nipple to put in the oil required for lubrication as the bolt head seems to be inbetween sizes and I have got quite a selection of spanners but can't find one to fit , it's either to small or to big any ideas as the Manuel does give a size? many thanks to the previous response and hope to get the same again iIain GT6

Hi there Gary, this is the same system but got it from the club if you look at the picture you have of the blue bracket the club ones are slightly different as the Rimmer ons show 4 bolts with some sort of sleeve that would go between the bracket/chassis the ones from the club have just the bolt which you show at the bottom. Maybe the Rimmer bolts are thinner than the club ones as the club ones won't fit through the chassis. I wonder if Rimmers will sell just the bolts and the sleeves? it would only be 2 bolts and sleeves I would need if that is the caseas it's the hole in the chassis that is too small. regards Iain

Hi there I have got a MK3 GT6 and have got the rear shock conversion that makes the car more stable on cornering(* no wheel tucking in) I've risen the body tube by 1/2 inch so I can get the brackets in but have hit a snag. The bolts which are supplied with the kit are a very tight fit through the 2 holes but that seems to be the best way to have them as they need to be a snug fit so they won't move around under general use but the problem I have is that I now have the bracket positioned on the risen bit of the rear chassis and that in it self is a very tight fit ,here comes the problem 1) I can't get the bracket back out but the real problem is that the hole on the chassis turret is much smaller that the shoulder of the bolt I can't get the bracket off but mainly I can't get the supplied bolt through the chassis has anybody got any idea how to over come this ? I am at present got some 80 grit emery cloth and am trying to take a small amount of thr shoulder of but give me a break my arms are killing me. the bolt that goes through the bracket and then goes through the ajdustable shock is not the problem except that the bolt is slightly to long and fouls the inner wheel arch any ideas on that ? any help wouyld be much appreciated Iain GT6

wow thanks everybody for all your input I will definitely phone you tomorrow for the instructions Angie thanks a lot . this seems to be a tricky procedure and will take a lot of time to make sure I get it right. I will of course let you all know how I get on , thanks again for all your help regards Iain

Hi there everyone I think I have ordinary shocks on the back of my MK3 GT6 and I think this bracket set up is surposed to improve handling, thanks for all your help I presume that Canley Classics should have a diagram of my rear end, I will check this out tomorrow and offer up the bracket and see cheers, hopefully see you all at the Triumph fest? Iain

hi there everyone I think so I bought the shocks with I think the hangers they are advertised on page 18 of the TSSC parts & access.club shop book and are called "rear bracket conversion kit" (as you can see I have no idea) I thought there would have been some sort of instructions. I was told that these helped the rotoflex handling.

also forgot to say GT6 MK3 I'm new at this forum stuff as I'm an old git

I think so

yes

Hi there went to Stoneleigh on Sunday and bought myself a new set of adjustable rear Gas shocks with the brackets from the club stand and got club rated so was really pleased with my purchased got it home and opened it and found there was no instructions on how to put it together , does anybody know how it goes together are there any diagrams to show process something like the parts list diagrams. any help will be gratefully received.

Hi Aiden are these specialists around all over or are they local to you? if I could get an o/d box + O/D would that be better ? Approx 1250 sound really reasonable Iain

Hi Doug yes mine is a non o/d model I was thinking of fitting those really nice looking half shafts as I'm not keen on the rotoflex all my other GT6's had straight shafts. Do you think getting and O/D box would need a different prop shaft?
