Green Triumph TR6 Update

Posted on March 16, 2013 by admin

Allow me to report in on the Green TR6. Follow along with the pictures below…

Once again, the patient.

Toyota Caliper mounted with new rotor and stainless brake line.

Picture of the TR6 Differential Mount after Chip has welded in metal to box it in and make it stronger. This will guard against the rear differential mount crack.

Differential has new bushings on it and a new front seal (not visible).

Rebuilt TR6 Distributor from Advanced Distributors.

Rebuilt Carbs from Gary Martin.

We have just a few odds and ends to finish up and this car should be ready to go.

More on the Yellow TR6

Odds and Ends continue on the Yellow TR6. It’s almost ready to go. Someone had wired the reverse lights to the overdrive switch, so that if you wanted the reverse lights to come on, you had to flip the overdrive switch. Odd. Chip put the wiring back as it was supposed to be and below is a shot of the switch on the transmission.

This was mounted backwards. We turned it around.

The chin spoiler was mounted backwards. Chip turned it around.

Engine Bay with new hoses and hose clamps.

We installed some new grommets on the firewall.

Some of the old hoses were more like pipes. The clamps had to be sawed off.

After removing the dead mouse (see this post), Chip started in on the list of repair items. The brake lights, turns signals, and fuel and oil pressure guages do not work (or did not work, Chip’s already gotten to the bottom of most of this). The owner also had a wood dash he had already purchased that he wanted us to install, so Chip has done that. The top dash pad and lower kick pads have been replaced as well. We’re (by we, I mean Chip while I watch and grunt like I understand what he’s doing) also replacing the bonnet release cable. Let’s take a look…
