Hi,
        Most of my experience is with 4 cylinder Triumphs. On these there are
two studs which are longer than the others in order to accomodate the
extra thickness of the engine lifting bracket. These are the two
rearmost studs on the right hand side of the engine. Is this the same on
the TR6?
        Bill.
