these are really good, it's one of those tools in the series of "when you need it, you need it" but probably won't use for another 10 years.

not triumph related but just general. we all have loose batteries laying around but they fit perfectly into these boxes.

i don't know if i'm late to these or they are new but these things are brilliant, used edge on especially for knocking down welds without touching the metal around it. paul

yes they were, before brexit, no hassle. paul

i've always found the easiest to use are the ones that have the on/off switch on the bottom, i.e. where you're fingers naturally grip. i have a Silverline for heavy duty work and one that's branded Moss for general stuff.

i ended up buying a TR6 body mount kit as it has more of everything included and you end up with alot of spares.

the new triumph HQ, the rugs should be good for mopping up oil....

thanks to everyone. i'll probably go without the ballast resistor, i'm not worried about cold starting. new wiring means new everything else as well so i can build the system from scratch. cheers paul

Hi all, At some point i will be changing all the wiring on my 72 gt6. This means that i can go WITH or WITHOUT the ballast resistor, i am leaning towards no resistor... Any opinions?

looks great, should be a great runner for someone.

i'm sure i mentioned this somewhere before but i'm going to use D ring dzus fasteners on mine

i read the first line of the 1st post and started smiling, i knew what was coming..... it's the reason there are so many rotting heaps for sale. fair play for trying to sort it out, i bet you want to keep it now 😉

maybe have a word with one of the car stripping companies like envirostrip to see if they will chemically strip the whole tank, then you can re coat the inside... paul

Hi all, If there's one thing i'm really not good at it's wiring, i can follow diagrams and trace faults but that's about it. But i would like to separate out the GT6 wiring into different circuits or at least give each wire a fuse.. I have the old loom to practice on before i get a new one. Is it just a case of separating the 11 wires going into the back of the old fusebox and giving each one a terminal ? which ones would be ground etc? Thanks in advance for any help. paul

the last update and for future ref. all the Timken wheel bearing sets for a ROTO gt6 paul

i put an order in for the front bearings, cheers

spot on cheers, it was probably you're post i was thinking about. paul

this is Kat, often follows me to the garage and sits outside while i make noise.

sad news

Hi all, someone put the timkin bearing numbers on here fairly recently but i can't find it now. i'm looking for all the timkin bearings used on the gt6, front and rear. cheers paul

thanks clive, just checking before ordering parts.

damn..... you found the one flaw in my plan.... i know we'll send them to you and you can keep them all !

you can only use them in europe and you have to leave them at the port when returning......

A quick question, if there is such a thing.... Are the rear shocks on a spitfire that mount off the frame suitable for a GT6 that is having the rotoflex donuts removed?

same theory as christmas tree lights!
