Front lower wishbone brackets

[Adrian Saunders]

I guess that this is just an engineer-thing but, I like to (re) build my GT6 with maintenance in mind so, I want the front/lower wishbone bolts to be easily removed and not hit the front turrets on removal. I would need handed brackets for this but only one part number is shown for these brackets. Does anybody known different?

I make  the front lower as 130757  and the rearward 130758

 

And its important is remove the bracket to check for  rust wasting away the stud inside  the chassis  

Its only a single nut fixing  and can be a hidden failure waiting to happen

It's scary what can be found...  Dismantling my old Midge, hidden mating surfaces behind suspension tower..

The brackets have a feature which stops the bolt from turning when installed (and when tightening, along with a wrench of course.) The rear brackets look symmetrical so this feature can be placed either way but, you can’t do that with the asymmetrical front bracket. I want to insert the bolts towards the turret and have the nuts on the inside (of the wishbone).

Strangley thats the way your  canley parts list shows them

You could  grind the tabs off  to make them 'universal'

I think you will find  the rear brackets must be fitted offset down  and fronts  with  offset up  you cant reverse the fit or geometry

will be   Realy upset

I think the stop being on the bolt head is to stop any tendency for the moving wishbone to wind the bolt undone .

Absolutely right Ben. I think that too. 

[Pete Lewis]

Thats correct

 It was not to aid production saving spanners or tooling , triumph didnt work like that or they could have made coupling flanges lock the bolt heads to save on spanners,  they didnt .
