If I remember correctly, I had to bring my new  '71 TR-6 in for a recall
soon after I got it.  The Feds had established a height requirement for
headlights ( I wish they were all at the same height so that SUVs 
wouldn't
blind me coming at me and driving behind me).  The way they met the 
height
requirement was to shim the front of the car up a bit.  I don't know if 
it
applied to the GT 6  or how far backward they were required to go.

Ron, I believe this applied ONLY to the TR6 model. Here's a 
transcription of the Triumph Service Bulletin detailing the recall:

*Man: Well, no ... It's not so  much of a jet, it's more your, er, 
Triumph Herald engine with  wings.
