Qu1ckn1ck Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hi, I am Nick and have just bought a 1971 GT6 Mk3. This is the first Triumph I have owned in 50 years and so my knowledge of Triumph and the GT6 is absolutely minimal. I am now accumulating a string of questions to ask the experts. Please bear with a Newbie if the questions have been answered many times before. I understand that there is a monthly club meet at The Crown, Shillington, so I hope to meet a few of you there.

dougbgt6 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Nick, welcome! That is a lovely car, looks in good condition. French Blue suits the GT6. Damn! Another recruit for Herts & Beds. There's dozens of them! I'm off to East Berks tomorrow, might need the fingers on two hands to count the numbers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gully Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Good to see another Herts & Beds GT6! Looks like it's had a new rear spring? Hope to see you at Duxford or The Crown, Gully 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Slight drift, 10 bodies at East Berks tonight and 8 cars! New bloke in a stunning white GT6 mk3, almost as nice as French Blue or, indeed, Mimosa. New bloke, young, all his own teeth. We bantered over popular beat combos, he had to leave early but promised to come again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qu1ckn1ck Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Good to see another Herts & Beds GT6! Looks like it's had a new rear spring? Hope to see you at Duxford or The Crown, Gully I might have to jack the front up to match the rear in an effort to cure the tyre fouling the bulkhead.

Pete Lewis Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 The shims under the pivot brackets adjust camber and castor If there are none under the tail bkt you have the wisbone with excesscaator and the wheel closes towards the baulkhead , its balancing act of adding to get the right castor then Add to correct the camber You have mentioned the steering is heavy the castor could be miles out pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qu1ckn1ck Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Thanks for the suggestion regarding the shims, Pete. Again, we will give this a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qu1ckn1ck Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Good to see another Herts & Beds GT6! Looks like it's had a new rear spring? Hope to see you at Duxford or The Crown, Gully Great to meet you and your GT6 at Duxford today. Following your "new spring" comment about the raised rear end I have fitted spacers to the front springs to raise the front suspension and hopefully resolve the wheel fouling.
