There has been some diccussion on the "originality" of the
red and yellow painted markings under the exhaust manifold
on 6 cyl cars.
Some input and help is needed

All I can suggest is relevant people post their data to the net & I'll
try and decipher it. I have not been able to decipher the codes to date.
It appears as though they changed each year and for each fitment, eg GT6
VS TR6 VS 2500 sedan, then high/low compression variants etc.
In realtion to OE fan belt etc, experience suggests Triumph fitted
whatever was cheap.
If somebody has a supply of the the yellow striped vacuum hose for the
brake booster, I'd sure like some
The yellow striped rad hoses on TR250 were unique to the US I believe.
All other markets got green, right thru to the end of production.
