Ken,
Sorry about the delay (the "digest" shuts down for the weekend).
The way my TR 250 is set up is as follows. Use TRF's red TR 250
catalouge for help. On the highest section of the trailing arm (which
is the topmost of the rounded area that the axle passes through), the
compression rubber is scewed in (screwed into the swingarm itself),
with the rubber tip facing up.
There is a cooresponding bracket on the inner fender well, just below
the seat belt (three point system) threaded hole/nut, which ends (going
downward) above the threaded hole in the swingarm (even though it is
welded to the body, and not attached to the swingarm). Upon hard comp-
ression of the spring, the rubber hits the bracket.
For rebound cushion, there is a bracket, welded to the frame, which
has a threaded hole on top. Into this threaded hole/nut the rebound
rubber is threaded, rubber tip up.
Just above this bracket, the arm of the shock absorber passes over,
on its way to connect to the vertical link (which, in turn, connects
to the swingarm. Upon extreme rebound ,aka jounce, the shock arm rests
upon the rubber cushion.
All four (both left and right sides of the car) rubbers are the same,
TRF/Triumph part number 136758.
If you need more guidance,write me,
