No its not its a Mk3 GT6

Hope this is of some use Regards keith

Thanks Chris I have the first edition of the GT6 and Vitesse workshop manual will keep my eyes pealed for the third edition . Regards keith

Thanks Pete I may have a go at making some should be quite strait forward Regards keith

Hi Pete I have the same as above on my GT6 I was wondering what parts on the original ones were metal Regards keith

Hi Pete what parts of the old base was metal was it just the mirror bar which the grub screw locates on, or was it both parts of the base regards Keith

Does anyone know if Triumph ever made a workshop manual exclusively for the GT6 MKIII . I have a genuine Gt6 and Vitesse workshop manual which is mainly for GT6 Mk I and Mk II . I also have a Genuine spitfire 1500 workshop manual Part number RTC 9230/B and I tend to use the two together but don't know if I am looking for a manual which Triumph never produced? Regards Keith

What model is it ?

Past parts in bury st Edmonds rebuilt my original GT6 Girling bake servo in 2008 . I have just found the receipt £207. 68 not cheap but nice to keep originality, only point to note is originally the two parts of the main case was swaged over when rebuilt they come back with a clap holding it together a bit like a jubilees clip as that was the part of the genuine Girling rebuild kit. You could look on eBay and may find a new old stock Girling servo rebuild kit Regards keith

I Have a late swing spring MK3 GT6 and it has 175/70 13 Uniroyals and no problem with rubbing but I did fit genuine minilite wheels with the correct off set ,supplied by the Club shop cant remember if they are 5.5 or 6 j Regards keith

I Had a spitfire 1500 for 25 years before the GT6 and never had a problem caused with having the spoiler Regards Keith

I bought the silicon hose kit for my GT6 from the club shop a few years ago . whilst not cheap, it is a worth while investment if you intend to keep the car Regards Keith

Hi Folks its been awhile but finally got around to doing the jobs . Fitted unroyal rain expert tyres as recommended ,also this winter rebuilt the entire front suspension new trunnions and vertical links had them on the shelf in spares draw so why not, put in new wheel bearings ,fitted better refurbished wishbones with new poly bushes, found the drop links to the anti roll bar were badly perished so fitted the uprated ones from Rimmer also fitted greasable trackrod ends( yes i did pre grease them thanks for the tip) and checked the tracking on the front and also fitted the front spoiler. Took it for a short run and the front feels much better more planted and spot on will get a 4 wheel alignment done by the professionals next as i think the rear wheel alignment is slightly out. keith

I should have said T cut on over riders and auto glyn bumper and trim jell, on spoiler Keith

I found in the past a polish with T cut worked wonders Regards keith

Have been looking for a good cover plate for a few years for the hatch lock but non are available even new locks come with out . So finally decided to make one from 304 grade stainless plate I think it look OK see photos

When rebuilding my GT6. I used wellingore garage just south of Lincoln . Very happy with results not sure on cost now as my car was painted 14 years ago but not a spot of rust after all that time .Regards keith

Removed valance and infills and fitted later original spoiler off a spitfire will see if it make a difference to the handling

Hi Colin Yes haven't used it much recently Keep doing slight improvements and tweaking the finish, maybe get to use it more next year . I have just removed the gas struts on the bonnet and gone back to the original factory bonnet prop as Was not happy with the they made the inner wheel arches distort Keith

My chassis number is KE 22675-O obviously O for over drive and is well after the stated date for spoiler fitted but obviously came from the factory with the valance rather than the spoiler. I have found photos of a new 1500 spitfire chassis on ebay which shows the spoiler mounting holes so that help will drill the chassis to suit if I want i can always refit the valance letter if i want Lots of interesting comments thanks Regards Keith

Thanks Doug Mine is the same as yours non- Rotoflex Sundym etc, sounds like the spoiler was fitted only to the last few at the very end of production if at all . make's you wonder if john Thomson got it wrong in his book Regards Keith

Thanks Colin I think that one is the same as my GT6 one drilled for the front valance not spoiler . I think the spoiler would have gone into elongated holes for height adjustment but not 100% sure just trying to get it as near to factory as possible Regards Keith
