gt6j

Hello I have had a search but couldn’t find definitive, am I ok to use screwfixs 8mm copper for fuel line from tank to pump on gt6mk3? Pulling old out to change brake lines and noticed it’s a hardish plastic and all rubber from tank to the hardish plastic which starts around the rear passenger wheel. Would leave it but looks undersized to me. Thankyou

Thanks yes that looks like the standard with two hanging points to secure it level. Be interested to see what the final fastener is, ie a bolt with a bracket or a rubber piece etc. I’m getting fumes through the boot, but less than with the center exhaust now, still can’t work out where they are coming in from. Keen to know if there’s a cure for this for anyone who has suffered similar

Hi Taggart ive just removed a wheelbarrow straight thru on mine for a phoenix semi sport box with mid silencer. I’d say it’s gone from drone boomy (altho nice over 4k) to a more higher pitch less droney sound with a better top end drive. I prefer it but it’s personal of course. The wheelbarrow had two bolts drilled thru the valance horizontally on the inner face under car, with 2 rubber bits that the exhausts hung of. Hope that helps. *to add, it’s quieter now over all than the wheelbarrow setup I had, but that setup didn’t have the mid silencer.

Definitely needs to come over a bit more, when I had it loose it wouldn’t as the middle silencer is holding it just shy of where it should be, think a slightly off front section angle is causing that. The diff mount does hold the box up when it’s all unbolted and the hanger looks ready to fail but I think (hope) it’s stronger than it looks! Will try some more rubber or something else in there

Thanks Johnny yes only one hanger hole on the back box and the diff hanger is on the middle section at the mo. Going to take a look at lowering the tips down with other bracket I think did think it looked too low but if 4.5” is th clearance as std then may be normal. This back box is the phoenix sports one fairly similar in volume to the straight thru wheelbarrow that was on before and standard pipe from manifold. The middle silencer section was a tight fit did bend the chassis rails down a bit to get that in but just angle of b back got me thinking. Thanks!

Cheers Doug sure it isn’t that boring a story! some nice cars there weirdly not seen many other gt6s to compare rears but that makes sense with the 4.5” then. The wheelbarrow was up high in comparison to what I’ve got now. Have bottomed out a few times in dips!

Hello could anyone shed light on back box hanger type for gt6 mk3 please. Have replaced wheelbarrow system from the manifold but my back box looks well quite wonky now. Have tried to wiggle everything to get the final connection at the diff higher but this is as high as I could get it. question would be - does the back box sit quite low normally (what height from ground) and do the tips almost touch the lower panel or should there be more of a gap to let it hang lower and more level?. I’ve just put a bolt and rubber pad through final hanger hole but do have a rectangular piece of rubber with two holes in it and wondered if that should be used to let it hang down a bit lower. All other pics I can find seem to have a more level backbox.

Thankyou. Did see one on fleabay but had mk1/2 on packet listed as mk3 think they are diff? Ordered from Rim Bros in end as a pair. Was a back order from elsewhere but unsure of wait time.

Hello, Im after the RHS drop glass with sundym tint for a gt6 if anyone has one looking for a home. Thank you

Looks a fiddly job to replace door glass

Cheers Pete, will try something similar.

Does anyone have tried and tested tips for removing scratches in door glass please. I know there's many products out there but don't want to waste money and time if possible. Scratches are many vertical ones in both sides door glass I believe from old trim that scratched it as being wound up and down would rather keep glass than just replace if possible.

Enjoying this thread. Bought a gt6 kit from this place not so long ago, yet to start building it. There's spitfires among others on there https://george-turner-models.myshopify.com/collections/triumph

Hi Kevin not sure if it helps but had similar with three top hoses splitting on my mk3. Bought a silicon reinforced length of the same diameter off ebay and cut to length had no leaks there since.

This is a great help thanks for suggestions and advice. Not going to get back with the car til next week but will report back. Not leaking currently. Only went to change the manifold gasket! 😬
