[GT6 mk 3 wiper motor wiring grommet at bulkhead]

I’ve changed the grommets for Lucas ones from AutoSparks Ltd. # 503 for the wiring and # 505 for the wiper tube. Both are a much closer fit and the stretch of the grommets is good. I also got a new plug from AutoSparks. The blue connector detached during fitting, it’s time for the solder and shrink wrap. 

[Footrest]

Hello

Just measured my footrest for a GT 6, this measuring the metal bracket (the section the foot actually touches and without the rubber on) and from the inside edge of the cardboard tunnel (non metal side/ non body side)

The bottom sits 18mm from the horizontal, gap between the bottom of the metal support and the section of the tunnel that sits on the floor.

The bottom of the bracket is 100mm from the vertical edge of the tunnel the section that placed against the bulk head.

The top of the bracket is 82mm from the same surface as above.

Hopefully that makes sense if not I could attempt to add a picture tomorrow.

Graham, thank you. I’ll check this out tonight.

This is the spec for the 2000 2500 etc and probably the same for all the TRiumph boxes   Al BS.1490 LM4M

 

Roger

How do you know that? I’m intrigued. 

[Footrest]

Would anyone be able to get me some measurements of the footrest to the vertical and horizontal mounting faces of the tunnel and an approx angle that it leans. I know there’s no precision required here, the measurements will be a good starting point though. Thank you.

Gas weld nozzle cleaners to deflect the detent and the plug is off. 

[GT6 mk3, rotoflex, rear nearside brakes - three-way union]

My rear nearside flexible is somewhat tight /different to o/s. Is this union correctly mounted? Should the fixing be the other side of the vertical port, giving more room for the flexible to operate in? 

[GT6 mk 3 wiper motor wiring grommet at bulkhead]

Hi guys. I’m assuming that the best way to get a grommet around the wiper motor wiring on a GT6 mk3 is to extract the push-ons from out of the multi-plug and slip a grommet over the (much smaller) connectors / wiring rather than the multi-plug, and then to insert the elec conn’s back into the plug.  Has anyone done it this way or is there a better way? Picture attached, not my car though, the lower of the two grommets. As always, your help is most appreciated.

Adrian,

(Serious face on) it sounds like you have the same issue as me. Despite the specs saying the pipes are 5/16 some are 7mm, slightly bigger. I boiled and greased the Barricade and got 1/2" on the 7mm. With the hose clamp I think that's enough.

Doug

Thanks Doug. I’m going to get some 8 mm Gates and test it at work. I can do some vacuum and pressure decay testing on it secured with some ABA clips. I’ll publish the results. What’s this “other website” that Badwolf mentioned? 

[Fuel hoses under the car?]

At the risk of many, many jokes, did you find it difficult to insert to anything beyond 10 mm? Even with heat and Vaseline? 

[Fuel hoses under the car?]

This Gates Barricade 5/16 is still evil to fit. I can’t get any further than 10 mm on, and that’s with the hard line off the car! With it fitted its even less, with lubricant. Anyone else struggled with Gates Barricade R9? 

[Fuel hoses under the car?]

This short section of rubber is a sod to fit. Has anyone used a lubricant to make it easier?

I'm enclosing some pictures. The long axis is 3.5" and the two short axes are 1" at max width. I reckon they're made from 14 gauge steel. 

There is also a rest for the seat when folded forwards. This is covered in vinvyl to match the trim (or dust in my case) and follows the contour of the front of the wheelarch.

The rear seat in the GT6 is completely useless but I guess you already know that?

David

That’s super David. Thank you. Images of CAD model and drawing attached. How do they compare? This is “reverse engineering” done from pictures so it won’t be 100% correct first time. 

[GT6 rear seat shot-bolt catches.]

Hi guys, can anybody help me with this? Even if it’s pictures. Thank you.

Thanks Gully. I purchased two off him this morning. 

[Rotoflex hub endfloat setting spacers]

Please will one of you kind souls either tell me where to get the rotoflex hub end float setting spacers (not the 0.003” shims) from or, tell me the inside and outside diameters, and I’ll get some made. Part #’s 152483 to 7 in the attached image. Thank you. 

[GT6 rear seat shot-bolt catches.]

No problem Clive. Cardboard templates or CAD, both get the job done. I’ve checked CC’s website and the Herald uses the same bolt but I couldn’t find the shot-bolt bracket or whatever it is that is on the Herald. 

[GT6 rear seat shot-bolt catches.]

I could get the 3D model to a high level working from photo’s with rules on to show sizes. Anything at all will be most appreciated. I’ve bought a rear seat but the brackets are homemade right angles only. 

[GT6 rear seat shot-bolt catches.]

Clive, they’re a bit more than just an angle. There’s an offset on them to allow for the trim. 

 

[GT6 windscreen frame rain gutters]

Mine will go on with adhesive too. Frame and gutters painted beforehand so no original spec unprotected metal / water trap. 

[GT6 rear seat shot-bolt catches.]

Could anyone lend me a GT6 rear seat shot-bolt latch to copy/re-manufacture. #27 in the attached image. I’ll be aiming to model it in 3D CAD, produce 3D prints of l/h and r/h and then try them out. Then get some made. 

[GT6 Anti-roll bar drop links - centres dimension]

That’s great Paul. Suspiciously close to 75 mm, 3“ it is. 

Thank you. 

[GT6 Anti-roll bar drop links - centres dimension]

Please will you all submit the centres distance / overall length of the anti-roll bar link. I’ll average the submissions to get a result. I’m about to fit a Jon Wolfe spherical setup and I don’t have an original to refer to. 

Ps: I have fitted rubber covers to increase the longevity. 

Thank you.

Scope for bell housing mount? 

After a few of rounds of 3D printing and adjusting of holes etc, a stainless steel bracket was bolted in tonight. Yes, there’s too much material but that’s intentional, I’ll trim off any excess. I think I’ll do a 20 mm wide strap (akin to a U-bolt), 2 mm thick, to keep the pipe in place. All suggestions will be greatly received. PS: I had two brackets made. 

[GT6 mk 3 fuel filler]

Problem solved with the correct JB Weld product and some 1/4” tube deformed to aid pipe retention. I used rubber hose and fuel resistant push-on fittings to exit through grommets. I need to add some short lengths of pipe outside/u’neath, two-man job though as the pipe is tight on the plastic fittings. 

[No 6 cylinder appears to be running weaker]

Oops. Forgot. No 6 can run hotter due to compromised cooling! The waterways in the block/head get full of crud at the rear first. If you remove the block drain plug and nothing happens, it’s blocked. I ended up removing my head and cleaning out the block from above with a wire and multiple fills with water.
