    Have a look at this one. Intermotor are not too bad in my experience. Not a Triumph but should fit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Pin-White-Housing-Intermotor-Brake-Light-Switch-Rear-Safety-Genuine-OE-Quality-/191419280982

    It is desirable that they are the same from the point of view of balancing. But I would question the benefits of fitting Webers to an engine that is pretty much standard. The most startling difference you will notice between a triple weber set up and a pair of 1.75 inch SUs is the fuel consumption. Just my opinion mind.

    Nice little project Roger. Aluminium body?

    On Thursday afternoon my wife and I together with our TSSC friends Jerry and Judith in their GT6 are setting off for a jolly little tour around Normandy and Brittany. On the way to Portsmouth we'll be meeting up with another couple in a Gilbern Invader who are joining us on our trip. I will do my best to give a daily update with a few pictures thrown in.

    I'm not sure where the problem is. The knob can be removed by pressing in the spring clip on the underside to release it from the shank. This can be done with the end of a scriber or a small screwdriver. Remove the knob, The nut then can be unscrewed and the switch removed. I hope I haven'y misunderstood you and that this helps.

    Hi Doug, all done. Just let me know where you would like it sent. I hope it will be okay. The original is about 10mm diameter but I made yours from 1/2" stainless steel tube which I had in stock. Best regards John

    Ah sorry Jim. Glad you are fixed up rgds John

    Hi Jim, I do indeed have the fixings. Nothing special about them and easily obtainable I would have thought. But you are welcome to these if they would help. rgds John

    It has the symptoms of a poor earth; good enough to pass the current for one horn but not enough for two.

    I certainly will Jim as soon as I get home.

    Mark if you have any concerns about the drive shafts I would suggest that your first port of call would be to speak to Dave Pearson at Canley. If there is a problem he will respond very positively. rgds John

    Is the GT6 yours Markus? If so, I do hope you have a good event and that the car behaves itself as it always has. It's really nice to see our cars used and driven as they should be. Looking forward to seeing you at Santa Pod. rgds John

    I've still got a couple of shells. I'm away at present but when I get back I'll check and see if the fittings are on them

    Doug what goes around comes around and there may a time when you can help me. I should have the material in stock so the only cost will be a couple of bob for the postage. I'll drop you a PM when I get home in the middle of June and we can have a chat then. Kind regards John

    If you can wait three weeks I'll make you one. Not a problem and I'll be pleased to do it. John

    The tank has three fixings; one on the spring tunnel, a second on a bracket welded to the inner wing (as is mentioned above) and the third is a length of round bar, one end flattened and drilled which bolts to the upstand on the valence and threaded at the top to engage with the hole in the flange on the tank. It does look as if you are missing at least one mounting. I can let you have pictures of mine if it would help but not immediately. rgds John

    That's interesting. On my car fitted with 155 80 13s , 3.89 diff in overdrive fourth 60mph is the same as yours; 3000rpm. Rather than mess about trying to find a speedometer to suit you could get yours calibrated by Speedy Cables.

    It would be interesting to hear what revs you are doing at a true 30 or 40mph in 4th gear.

    With the car finished, I'm casting around for things to do. I shall never fit a radio or use the slot for additional gauges so I've made a cubby box to fit the slot. This will give easy access for small items like house keys, electric gate controller and things like that. I've just given it a quick coat of paint but it will be powder coated in due course. Here are a couple of photos in case anyone might be interested.
