Hi - Unless you run your Triumph REALLY HARD, the stock brakes are more th=
an adequate for street duty. Regarding drive train, all these cars were par=
ts shelf engineered, so they probably ran the same gearbox and differential=
that came in the TR6 from the factory (I verified the case and gears for t=
he saloon are the same as TR6, but some external stuff is slightly differen=
t). Any issues that the initial design didn't address properly can be easil=
y fixed. For example, in braking (the TR6), the factory rear wheel cylinder=
s can be swapped for bigger (.750 is stock, .812 or .875 are swap-in upgrad=
es) and you will get better balance front to rear and better stopping power=
. As with anything, there's a trade off for the upgrade, but it's an easy u=
pgrade and if you know how to drive, a good upgrade. If you don't know how =
to drive, you'll learn about spinning out your TR6. ;-) But the point is, t=
he initial parts on these ares are pretty adequate.
A lot of the perception about reliability of these cars is based on the fal=
se premise of inadequate parts. On the contrary, there are many aspects tha=
t are over-engineered. The reliability issues are more likely due to improp=
er maintenance than anything. I see this all the time.
My opinion is based on 50 years of TR6 ownership and my cars see pretty har=
d use at times.
So, maybe there are magic part numbers out there for the copper cars, but c=
hances are that they just used the next heftier parts on the shelf to creat=
e more over-over-engineered cars.
Regards,Bob Lang
