All of a sudden, there is very little traffic on this site. What happened?
Did Triumph recall all the TR6's due to sticky accelerator pedals?

That's funny because when I bought mine new in 1976, it had a sticky accelerator pedal.  I took it back about an hour after I got it.  The guy in the shop who worked on it had stolen a bicycle from me in the 6th grade and I wasn' t too sure it would ever work again but he fixed it by bending the linkage.

No, the gov't. did a study and determined that sudden acceleration on a 
TR6 was not a life threatening situation!

Jim,

This question came up about a month ago. 

Lots of posts on the 6-pack forum. About 1/2 are not Triumph related.
Also it is winter and my TR6 project is in hibernation as well as my 3 and 4 
drivers.

Not to much will be happening here until the end of March at the earliest.

I can't proceed until I get the engine assembly completed and get going on 
putting the top coat on the body tub.

I am sure I, for one, will be flooding this list once I resume my restoration!

Bob

I've been on the Mail Lists for 13 years now but find myself spending the 
majority of the time in the 6-Pack Forum for a few reasons: single car 
focus, no message length restrictions, embedded pictures and URLs and a 
great bunch of knowledgeable guys. The biggest advantage is posting pictures 
to show and solve a problem. And it's rarely down...........

As Vance mentioned, the email list is more convenient for me.
I also enjoy exposure to the range of topics on the email list, as 
opposed to viewing specific threads on the forum.
Frequently when skimming through emails on a topic of marginal interest, 
I'll encounter a message with useful background information, or 
information about some other issue of more (current) interest.

I suppose that makes me a Luddite of sorts.

Regards,
Cregg

reading post about problems that I haven't had (yet) and I totally trust the
elite group of TR6 owners that post and reply here.

John, if you have not already done so take a look at Nelson's write up where
he says:

"Steve Sutton has researched this issue and found considerable variations
among temperature compensators. He even found new ones set as much as 20
degrees apart.  His research has shown best operation with the valve just
starting to open at 115 F and fully open at 140 F.  His view (which I concur)
is that matching the compensators in a multiple carb system is probably more
important than the actual temperature at which they open."

Part two of a multi part article with full description and how-to:

the carburetor with the plastic cover on it.

Thanks Stan.  The temp setting is consistent on all 3 carbs but the idle is
not very good until it gets really warm and then goes too high.  The idle
bypass valves probably also need to be adjusted.  Thanks for the info.

John, if you have not already done so take a look at Nelson's write up where
he says:

"Steve Sutton has researched this issue and found considerable variations
among temperature compensators. He even found new ones set as much as 20
degrees apart.  His research has shown best operation with the valve just
starting to open at 115 F and fully open at 140 F.  His view (which I
concur) is that matching the compensators in a multiple carb system is
probably more important than the actual temperature at which they open."

Part two of a multi part article with full description and how-to:

Joe, one requirement for posting (vs just reading) is that you must be logged
into the forum with an account and password. The system is semi brain dead in
that it will happily let you type for an hour but when you hit the Post button
it will display an error and toss your missive into the bit bucket.

So be sure you have an account and are logged into it before you try and reply
or start a new topic.

Message-ID: <8B358A1734484399AC533A762F55C77E@AlexPC>

Hello,
About a month ago, I posted an inquiry about the fan on my 6 free spinning.
Just had a chance to look closer at it in the sunlight. What appears to be
happening is the fan extension (and thus the fan) is free spinning. My guess
is the two locating pins have been sheared or came out altogether. It appears
the fan extension bolt is securing the extension to the shaft, so damage is
not eminent except for the free spinning nature of the fan.
  1.. To repair, does the radiator need to be pulled to extract the long
extension bolt?
  2.. Does anyone see a potential damaging event occurring from the missing
pins?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Message-ID: <COL123-DS6EA53020EE9BA7C703191F4520@phx.gbl>

Alex---The chances of the two pins shearing are remote, if they were ever in there, given their size and duty.  If both the fan and its extension can be turned by hand, or do not keep up with the crank damper with the engine running, I suspect that the long (3/4" diam?) bolt is either loose, or bottomed out in the crankshaft. If so, then the load on the two pins would be much greater, and could then possibly shear. If the bolt is loose, you should be able to lever the damper back and forth a bit, while considering that some of this movement could be at the thrust washers. You may want to try this test with the clutch pedal depressed to hold the crankshaft forward.

Yes, it's necessary to remove the radiator to get to the crank pulley bolt head. (I think it takes a 1-1/8" socket) Know that if this bolt does happen to be loose, there should be some associated noise coming from this end of the engine, as when revving it. The extension would likely be out of balance., and unneccessary wear could be going on between the bolt and
extension. 

It's not a big deal to drain the radiator and take a look at the bolt in question.

Question: Are the correct length bolts through the fan plate and into the
extension, being used? If not then the fan can spin freely. They must be
able to go through the fan, adapter and extension and be tight with a spring
washer. The only other possible opportunity for it to spin, apart from what
Dick has mentioned would be that the key on the crank is missing. This
sometimes occurs in assembly. However this would mean the timing could never
be measured or set correctly.

The pulley (key) is fine. No free spin what-so-ever. The engine has been 
rebuilt and installed for over 6 years with no problem. This is a recent 
development, so I must assume everything was correct. I did the ancillary 
attachments after the long block was rebuilt and used all original parts 
where reusable. Anything needing replacement was done with Moss/TRF/VB 
replacements and matched prior to installation.
I probably won't get back to this for a week or so. I'll keep everyone 
updated. Thanks for all the input.

Message-ID: <003201caa81c$6503f7f0$2f0be7d0$@ca>

Hi Gang,

 

Quite a while ago I threw up a posting about my clutch acting up when it got
warmed up. It was hard to get the car into gear and shifting was rough. I
tried moving the slave cylinder push rod up 1 hole on the release lever and
that had improved things marginally, for a little while. I finally got
around to dealing with it and thought I'd report. The holes in the master
cylinder push rod were very elongated and the seals in both cylinders (DOT
5) were pretty soft. So.diagnosis: elongated holes in the pushrod were
shortening the throw of the release lever. All worked well until the
cylinders got warm and the seals got mushy at which point either or both of
the master and slave began to bypass. Cure: weld some undersized washers
onto the pushrod and bore them out to fit a new pin. The hole in the pedal
was OK. Rebuild both cylinders. Life is good.

Nice work.  Fresh rubber and take out the slop in the numerous  
linkages.  Good guidelines to follow when solving this problem.

John,

Lots of different numbers but all to do with whether the crank was a short
or longback crank and whether the crank was cross drilled or not. As far as
I can tell the PI cranks were 214889 which was shortback and cross drilled
fitted up to CP50001, 216538 which was a longback and cross drilled fitted
up to CP52320 and 311322 fitted thereafter which was longback with no cross
drilling. There was also a 214926 but not sure what this was. Carb cranks
were 307546 which was shortback with no cross drilling fitted up to CC50001,
and 311322 which was longback with no cross drilling. 

Cheers

hi, all.  seems I just broke the top clip where the dual spots attach to 
their stand.

plus the two lights don't stay put very well.

I'm thinking of replacing them.  This setup (two spots on an adjustable 
stand) wasn't very expensive, but I guess I don't really want to go the 
horrible freight route again - I'd like to get a really good set, have them 
work, last, and not start flopping around on me.

anyone have a recommendation?

John,
Got my long and short backs mixed up. The Pi cranks were 214889 which was
longback and cross drilled fitted up to CP50001, 216538 was a shortback and
cross drilled fitted up to engine CP52320HE with 311322 fitted thereafter
which was shortback with no cross drilling. Carb cranks were 307546 which
was longback with no cross drilling fitted up to CC50001, and 311322
thereafter which was shortback with no cross drilling.
Sorry about the confusion - long weekend and all that

Message-ID: <4B788781.4080302@triumphstagclub.org>

Hello All,

Yeah, this is a shameless plug for my own car.

After driving "Uncle Jack" onto the enclosed FedEx trailer early Friday 
morning 12 February 2010, it is time for my own - "semi famous" Stag to 
go too, so I can make room for two other Triumphs (crazy? ... yeah!) and 
FINALLY start their restoration.

So, "IAN" is on the block, and many of you in North America who go to 
VTR and Triumphest have seen and heard this semi-famous Stag. I mean, 
how many other Triumph Stags in North America have been from mean Sea 
Level to 14,110 feet above sea level - and then with "uncle jack"?
I have had an absolute hoot of a time owning this Stag driving it 
literally coast-to-coast and border-to-border in the USA with no 
problems, over 65K miles.
Is it perfect? Get real, it is a Triumph that gets DRIVEN!!

Reserve price is fair (not the buy-it-now price) considering the 
condition and extreme reliability this car has provided me over the past 
7 years. But if you absolutely MUST have it now, just do the Buy-It-Now 
before anyone else bids and it's yours.  Be quick though because in the 
short 3 hours it has been listed, over 50 people have looked and 10 have 
marked it as a watched item.

[img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2440/3841267916_0157da6973_b.jpg[/img]

Yes in this image above if you can see it, that is "uncle jack" behind 
IAN on our way down from the Summit of Pikes Peak, - one of the photos 
on the Triumph TransAmerica group on Flickr.com

This is not strictly LBC, but it is British car related.
 
I regret that I traded off my beloved '96 X12 a few weeks ago. The "Green
Witch" has passed from my hands. I loved it dearly but it simply wasn't
working out as my daily driver. The final straw was a hemorrhaging steering
rack. Fluid all over, quite a mess. A rebuilt assembly would run around $1500
if one could be located. While some parts chains have a part number at a
cheaper price, they will not fit. I tried. It's not that I didn't want to
service it, but parts are getting harder to come by. (sniff) I'll miss the
effortless torque of a six liter Jag V12 and its smooth purr at idle.
 
The new car, a VW Passat CC, is very nice and gets 2x the gas mileage, but it
ain't no XJ12. For some things there are no substitues.
 
A bottle of Chateau Thames Embankment was consumed (from within a paper
bag) in its memory. This stuff is like old brake fluid, but it blots out
unpleasant thoughts, and it keeps me reasonably regular.

 My 73 and 74.5 (original AFAIK) is chrome too. Smoothhead, plain slot.  I 
replaced the originals with wider black
ones to hold it a little more securely.

>From what I have seen the cranks are totally interchangeable, as long
as you interchange the flywheels as well. The flywheels are different
for the long and short cranks. From what I have heard, Fidanza
aluminum flywheels will not work with the long cranks, only the later
short cranks. For that reason alone the short crank might be the more
desireable.

I believe that the flywheel for the short crank is heavier, like 28
lbs compared to the flywheel for the long crank at 22 lbs. But if you
compared the weight of the cranks with their correct and respective
flywheels combined, the weight would be nearly the same. Making no
real advantage to one over the other, at least that is my take on it.

Vance, I bought my 74.5 new (I think it's 27227CF built Dec. '74) and 
the screws are original.  They are pan head, slotted, bright-plate 
but I wouldn't call it chrome.  Probably plain ol' zinc or 
cad.  Let's just say "unpainted." ;-)

Aloha Doug,

  The big differences were the so-called '74.5 cars have the higher bumper
with parking lights mounted into bumper cutouts.  I assume it was done to meet
new US safety specs that went into effect in the summer of 1974.  This series
started at CF27001U and I have CF27006U which has AUG 1974 on the Commission
plate.  It has the 1974 pollution set-up and was/is titled as a 1974.  Another
difference from the '74s was the rear TRIUMPH nameplate was centered below the
rear bumper.  I think the front badge went to a stick-on TR6 label at 27001
along with other minor changes; maybe someone has already compiled a list.

  The next 'series' started at CF35001 for the 1975 model year; maybe someone
who has an early one can supply a date.  It had the air pump set-up, so I
guess that change was made to meet new US pollution specs.  I'm no expert but
I'm told the overlap between the '74, '74.5, and '75 series during production
makes it hard to fix definite change points for each detail.  The "74.5" is an
unofficial (AFAIK) designation but is a convenient way to separate the cars
when ordering parts, etc.

 Just another interesting chapter in the TR6 saga!

Jeff

 	Doug:

	My car is a 74-1/2, although I did not understand that when I bought the car.
Imagine my concern when I went to order certain parts and found that the moss
catalog was "wrong". Took me a while to realize what I had was a version that
was only in production for 6 months, and that I had to order either 1974
parts, or 1975 parts, depending on what I was after. One example is figuring
out what the emissions system looked like. I wanted everything on my car
intact, including the emissions, so I had to sort all that out as my DPO had
thrown away anything related to emissions. My DPO had also installed the head
gasket upside down, among other things. Imagine the fun that created.
	Others have detailed the differences in the 1974-1/2 model, so I won't repeat
them. Suffice to say that it is a useful designation indicating a group of
changes that Triumph made part way through the model year.

	Vance

Okay,
I've heard it and let it pass.
What's a '74-1/2, 74.5?
Does it start with a particular serial number?
What changed?

Isn't there a feature in the 6-pack magazine talking about Triumph references
on signs and products?
I just got a Costco online flyer with a TR250 folding
treadmill.  I guess I should buy one, walk on it while brushing my teeth with
the Braun/OralB Triumph toothpaste while expectorating on an open flame and
thinking about a very manly deer.

Susan Kahler gave me a roll of TRIUMPH paper towels.

I just sent some TRIUMPH parts in a box that held TRIUMPH paper cups

I think there is national franchiser of Triumph window replacements.

Message-ID: <1f3fd.530a8e72.38af8516@aol.com>

HER  DIARY:

Dear  Diary:

Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had  made
plans to meet at a bar to have a drink. I was shopping with
my  friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the
fact that I was a bit  late, but he made no comment on it.

Conversation wasn't flowing, so I  suggested that we go
somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he  didn't
say much. I asked him what was wrong. He said, 'Nothing.' I
asked  him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he
wasn't upset, that it  had nothing to do with me, and not to
worry about it.

On the way home,  I told him that I loved him. He smiled
slightly, and kept driving. I can't  explain his behavior. I
don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.' When  we got
home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he
wanted  nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there
quietly, and watched TV. He  continued to seem distant and
absent.

Finally, with silence all around  us, I decided to go to bed.
About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. To my  surprise, he
responded to my caress, and we made love. But I still  felt
that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere
else. He fell  asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm
almost sure that his thoughts  are with someone else. My life
is a disaster...


HIS  DIARY:

The TR wouldn't start today, but at least I got  laid.

I don't know if any of the big organization did anything special as we didn't
make any of the national events this year but a lot of local club events
probably did something special. I know we did for our annual gathering last
July and the TR Register in the UK had a huge TR6 display as part of their
international weekend in celebration of the 40th birthday.

I'm planning a big party in July 2014 for my 74 and a half's 40th  :-)

6-PACK list

Thanks for all of the kind replies....I am trying to get some ideas together
to honor the TR6 at Heartland Park Raceway in Kansas when we hold the Kastner
Cup in August.

Of course it is notable that Sam Halkias won his SCCA National Championship
Race in the Fall of 2009 at Road America....(it was great to be there for that
one)  Sam and the TR6 Champ Car plus 3 more of his TR6s are going to be at
Heartland Park. There's a rather large presence of TR6s in the midwest, and
many are planning to attend. Honoring the TR6 certainly is the right thing to
do and should be a lot of fun.

Please look at:

heartlandvintageracing.com

Of course Kas will be there and the Triumphs will have a special CORRAL in a
prime location. Right now, I have  an 'Intent to Register' from 35 Triumph
Drivers.

Kas' new book will be published by then and there will be a special chapter on

I don't know if any of the big organization did anything special as we didn't
ake any of the national events this year but a lot of local club events
robably did something special. I know we did for our annual gathering last
uly and the TR Register in the UK had a huge TR6 display as part of their
nternational weekend in celebration of the 40th birthday.

TR6 guys seem to have a lot of fun....

It may be age related.....if I were to guess the average age of a TR6 owner is
notably lower than a TR3A owner.

Not that us older TR guys dont have fun..........

John's note about the age of us TR dirvers got me thinking that this would be
kinda fun.



So post your age when your TR was new. I guess that will be a minus number if
it's older than you are.



I was 8 when my 69 was new.

Minus one week for me when the TR250 was done.   (June 26 vs July 3)   
That makes us the same sign.  Maybe that's why we don't get along so

Hi,

I was 9 when my 58 TR3 was built.
I was 14 wen my 63 TR4 was built.
And I was 23 when my 72 TR6 was built.

But I was 31 when the 3 completed its 1st restoration
and I was 56 when my 4 restoration was finished and it looks like I will be 60 
or possibly 61 when the 6 is ready to roll out the garage.

Hi,

I was 9 when my 58 TR3 was built.
I was 14 wen my 63 TR4 was built.
And I was 23 when my 72 TR6 was built.

But I was 31 when the 3 completed its 1st restoration
and I was 56 when my 4 restoration was finished and it looks like I will be
60 
or possibly 61 when the 6 is ready to roll out the garage.

Jr,

Believe it or not my wife of 35 years is still with me! And did I mention that 
I have an original 1974 Triumph T140V and a 1998 T-Bird 900?

Now that the kids have all left the nest, she really looks forward to those 
rides to car hops during the week on those nice summer days.

She even went with me to the 2008 Vintage Races in Watkins Glen for a day trip 
in a light rain in the 3. The only regret was that we didn't take the 4 due to 
its wind up windows.

The 4 was the car that delivered the bride to the wedding ceremony for  my 2 
oldest girls weddings and it was also in daughter #2's best friends wedding 
photos. We call the 4 the "wedding car".

I even heard a rumor that my wife will give the 6 a try if I can make sure the 
seat can get close enough!

More reason to get back to work!

Bob

Balancing out the 'other end' of the bell curve!

I am 6 years younger than my 74.5

Hauled the TR6 off a farm with my Dad when I was 15 and it was 21. 

Fun fact, my brother has an 86 Honda accord with 325k miles on it that just won't die that is older than the 'classic' Triumph was when I got it! haha

OK Jack Mc   This is good to know.   I have been informally regarding this as
'THE YEAR OF THE TR6'....since I saw Halkias take the flag at Road America.
The way things are coming together, I plan to use this theme at Heartland Park
and the Kastner Cup in August.

I hope that our vintage racing does not compete with any other TR events the
19-22 August time frame, but I would like to draw as many Triumphs from as far
away as people are willing to travel. This event is geared to TRIUMPHS and
their owners/drivers/racers. We are center stage.

There will be some interesting TR FOLKS there, yet to be announced, and some
very historical Triumphs.

Live music, BBQ, track time, vendors, fly bys, etc.

Joe A

Message-ID: <000901cab339$c72f15e0$558d41a0$@ca>

Greetings, All.

 

Has anyone got their slave cylinder push rod installed on the lowest of the
3 holes on the release lever? Mine's in the middle hole which I think is
what the books shows but  I'd like to make the pedal a bit lighter by
putting the pushrod on the lowest hole of the release lever. 

 

Also, It's time to get my wife behind the wheel which means the seat will
regularly be moved forward and back on the slider. Do these things actually
work??  It sure doesn't move all that well now, unless I get out of the car,
lift the back of the seat and then slide it forward for her. Mine's original
so perhaps it's time to replace it.

 

Thanks, Colin '75

Colin---The clutch will be easier to disengage when using the lowest hole in the operating arm. It will also mean that the linkage in the pedal box will have to be without much slop, or complete disengagement won't be happening! It's easy enough to move the clevis pin down a hole to try it.
Triumph wanted to use the center hole to keep the pushrod alignment straight beween the Slave Cylinder bore and the operating arm. Some misalignment can put a top load on the bore of the SC, altho it may take a lot of strokes before this could show any extra wear.

On the seats...The adjustment should give about four inches of back and forth movement. If you find the move difficult, try seeing what goes on with the seat removed (two bolts) and the lever is activated. The sliders may need cleaning and a shot of silicon or wax.

I was 27 when my 1971 was still born. That would make us a youthful 104.

I was about 9 months old when my TR6 was 'born' (March 1972). Grew up
on a ranch in the middle of nowhere Wyoming, saw my first TR6 when I
was about 10 and told my mom that I would own one someday. Bought my
TR6 when I was 18 (spring of 1990, couple months before I turned 19).
Have been its custodian for 20 years now.

I was 10 when my TR250 was born, I bought it when it was 9 in 1977, I met my wife over the car when it was 12 and we are still driving it at it's current age of 42.  Holy crankshaft....that makes me....??? The TR6 was older and I bought it in 2007 but new it since 1977 as well.

	I was 20 and a sophomore at Oregon State when my 1974-1/4 was built. I didn't
pay any attention to the marque even though a buddy in high school drove a
Spitfire.
	It wasn't until I was married that I got my first TR, a one year old 1976 TR7
that I kept for 5 years. It was during that time I saw a nice example of a TR6
next to me at a gas station that I decided I would need to get one. The larger
engine, the IRS, the massive wheel size relative to the body, and the big grin
on the driver's face convinced me that someday I would own one.
	Fast forward 24 years later, I brought home one that barely ran for the price
of $6k. Three years later after a frame off restoration, and she is all mine.
No car I have ever owned has brought me as many smiles per mile as the TR6.
What a hoot. Cheaper than therapy, and more effective.

204 if you dont count the derelict TR250

One of the conclusions that I draw from this is that you are infected during
the initial years of testosterone and the antodote is found when the cash
becomes available.

I was bitten at about age 14 and purchased a MG TD when I went to work at 21.

It has been interesting seeing the ages of TR6 owners and reminds me
of a conversation I had with John Johnson (president emeritus of
Buckeye Triumphs) when I took over as president this year, as well as
a topic in Mike Cook's last article for Hemmings Sports and Exotics -
how to get the next generation interested in Triumphs.  I think
Kendall and I are the youngest owners on the list (I'm 34).  Do we
have anyone younger?

Since some are posting how they got into TR6s, I'll add my story.  My
father owned a 75 TR6 until I was about 5 years old.  It was his daily
driver and man do I have fond memories of riding in that car,
listening to "All the Gold In California" on the 8-Track player.  He
sold it to the lady across the street when my little sister was born,
but we just found out earlier this year that she still has it (and I'm
hoping we can buy it back some day).

Everyone is much older than me!

I was -10 when my 74.5 was born.

My dad and I revived my car as a project when I was ~14 or 15 years old.  It
became my first car, which of course I still have.

my son is 20; he had the car at college last fall, but it came home for some 
maintenance at Christmas, and I have it back.  he's pretty sure its his car. 
does that count?

204 if you dont count the derelict TR250



One of the conclusions that I draw from this is that you are infected during
the initial years of testosterone and the antodote is found when the cash
becomes available.



I was bitten at about age 14 and purchased a MG TD when I went to work at 21.

Vance-OSU in the 70s' provided a large supply of derelict  TRs&MGs' that 
nickled&dimed starving students and could be bought  very cheap. Shamelessly, 
I would buy, fix, and re-sell them, sometimes to  another student. Repeat 
cycle.
I got my first TR (a 1960 TR3A) in 1962 at the age of 18.

I am particularly fascinated by the 20-30 year old group that own Triumphs.
Wonderful.

My sons are heavily involved with me. They are now 45 & 41....I am very
fortunate.

I'm the same age as my TR250 and got into them because my dad bought one new
in Philly (white with red interior) and had to sell it shortly after I was
born.  My older sister could sit on the back shelf while I was being held by
my mother in the front seat, but that couldn't last forever.  There were
always the lingering stories of the "zoom-zoom" in the family that I never was
old enough to remember.  As I approached driving age, I can remember scanning
the Baltimore Sun classifieds for TR250's (right after Toyota and just before
Volvo).  I finally got my first Triumph in NC in 1993 (a 65 TR4) at age 25. 
Sold that 2 years later and got back into the hobby in Dec of 2000 with my
first TR250.  After getting my book logo tattoo in 2004, I'm pretty much tied
to the marque forever.
Andy

First one was a '61 TR3A , bought used in '65 for $850 with a leaky 
radiator when I was 19.  Later drove a '66 TR4A a few years.   In 
Dec. '74, TR6 CF29457UO was built (74 - 1/2) when I was 29.

I liked my '71 240Z daily driver but still had the TR virus, so 
bought the Six new in April '75.  Dick Taylor will like this; I chose 
the color-- carmine-- based on the fact it was the only one with 
overdrive on the dealer lots, from Santa Barbara to San Diego.  The 
San Diego dealer brought it down from somewhere up the coast.  BTW, 
it was about $5800.

My wife was a young-ish high school teacher at the time, and really 
turned some heads when she drove the Six daily to school ;-)

--Glenn/San Diego 74.5
PS From the earlier thread... I also have 74.5 CF27188U, built in Aug 
of '74.  Someone was collecting that data.  Both the 74.5's are 
"1974" in the California records.

  I was 23 in 1976 when my TR6 was 'born', but the more meaningful age 

and date are 16 and 1969 - that's how old I was and the year when I first 

saw a TR6 and decided I'd like to have one.  20 years hence (1989), at 36 

years old, married and with 2 kids, I bought the best TR6 I could find at 

Carlisle.  I still have the little beauty and am glad to this day that I
bought it.   

   It's been theorized that the cars we end up with later in life are the
ones

we lusted after earlier (but most likely couldn't afford) - works for me.

Hey this is fun so,
In addition to the TR250 @ 18. I was 21 when my 71 TR6 was  born.  At that 
time I cut my hair, quit the Rock Band, gave up on  being a Rock Star, 
buckled down at school, got a part time job so I could  ask the love of my life, 
Beverly, to get married, raise family and all the  rot.  That all happened 
in 1972.  It was not until 1980 at the age of  30 upon the birth of my SECOND 
daughter that the testosterone flowed and I  started getting male dogs and 
Triumph Sports Cars.  The first Triumph was a  76 Spitfire 1500.  So that's 
the first three of them and the other 8  Triumphs I own would come later.  
Still only the two daughters but  I've had three male dogs and I have been 
blessed with one granddaughter who  likes cars and two grandsons.
Life's been good to me so far,
Darrell

I was 17 and visiting my cousins in Indiana when my cousin took me along to a
wrecking yard to get some used parts.
There sat a 1962 white with blue
interior TR 4. It had a mangled hood and passenger fender and a hole in the
radiator. 
Talked my mother in to buying it for $ 500 and my cousin repaired
the radiator, another $ 100. Two weeks later I drove her home to Ohio.
That
was 1967 when I got the bug. 

After a couple more Tr 4's in the seventies,
marriage and the kids came along. No more toys for awhile.

I was 26 when my
Jan 1974 Tr-6 was born. Found her in 1994, a slow 8 year restoration while my
funds were divided between the two girls college education and the 6.

Working
now on a Tr-7. Hope some day to find a Tr-250 to work on.

Smilin all the way
down the road with the top down.

I would have been 11 or 12 when the 250's were made.

My first TR was a 4 at age 16 that my Pops co-signed on a $350 note at the
local bank. I bought it in the dark and drove it home in the rain. My first
experience with Lucas and rust with non working lights, horn and wet feet.
Along with the deal was a block with a hole in the side! Sweet. We got started
with LBC's when my best buddy's brothers had big Healey's and we thought those
were pretty cool. Couldn't afford a Healey so Triumphs were my brand.  We have
other Triumphs but the 250 is the one Vicki and I cherish the most. We have 4
children (2 each) pretty much on there own now and none except my youngest son
has ever expressed any interest for Mom & Pops hobby. He has a lot to learn
and needs a bigger garage.

John's note about the age of us TR dirvers got me thinking that this would be
inda fun.

So post your age when your TR was new. I guess that will be a minus number if
t's older than you are.

I was 8 when my 69 was new.

I think I am on the younger end of the curve here - when my '73 Stag was on
the production line I was no more than a glint in the milkman's eye, and by
the time my '75 TR6 hit the streets I was only just walking.   My first
Triumph was a TR7, which was only 16 years old when I bought it, fresh out
of universtity at 21.   Drove that car every day (well, every day when it
wasn't in pieces on my driveway) for 5 years, then went all sensible and
modern with a Fiat Barchetta.

While the DMV has the cars in my name, technically these aren't my cars; the
TR6 belongs to my elder daughter, now 4, and the Stag is my younger
daughter's car - she is only 18 months old, but both cars were purchased
when the girl was under 6 months old - does that count?

I am just enjoying the feeling of being one of the young ones!

Cheers
Alistair

OK, I'll take this on a different spin. I wasn't a rock star like Darrell when
I got my first Triumph:) Back in 1976 I was still living at home. In addition
to my car I had a  Yamaha 360 motorcycle. I had probably done all the stupid
stuff I could think of on that bike and figured it was time for something
bigger and better. Went shopping and fell in love with the new Triumph
Bonneville. I told my pop I wanted to buy one and he said "sure, if you think
you could afford one go ahead", knowing full well the bank wouldn't float me a
loan on a new bike. I was dating this cute red head at the time and sweet
talked her into co-signing the loan on my new bike. Pop was pretty surprised
to see me pulling in the driveway on a new bike with a hottie on the seat
behind me. I decided she was a keeper and somehow convinced her to marry me
later that year. 33 years later she is still letting me hang around:.) Man, I
do wish I still had that Bonneville. Hopefully I will stumble upon a
Bonneville project bike some day to restore and take the red head cruising on.

I was a lad of nineteen in the U.S. Air Force stationed at RAF Lakenheath in the U.K.
I saw my first TR6 sitting at the base taxi stand where the local car dealers would show
their stuff. You could buy a new 6 for about $1900, and a new XKE for four grand. I
didn't get my first TR6 until I got stateside. Though I did buy a 1970 BSA Lightning
motorcycle while in England. You couldn't get a Triumph Bonneville, they were all going
to the U.S.!

I was 17 when my 1974 TR6 came into existence. I was in high school
and there was a teacher who drove a 1973 model plus one of my friends
had a 1971 model. I was with him when we totalled that car at the lake,
head-on into a "Good Times" van. We both climbed out with no more
injury than a spilled beer.

I bought my first 1974 TR6 in 1987 at age 30. I sold it to the brother of
the friend I bought it from in 1992. He came by one day and asked me
"when are you going to sell it to me?" I said "make me an offer", not really
intending to sell it. Before I knew it he was driving off and I had a wad of
cash in hand.

I missed that car dearly and bought another one in 2003. I have no plans to
sell it because I don't intend to go through that heartache again.

I was 16 and my girlfriend's brother had a beautiful black 65 MGB and I
wanted one.  Then I sat in her sister's boyfriend's TR6 and decided I
had to have one of those.  I ended up breaking up with her because I
wanted the car and couldn't imagine how I could have both.  I finally
found a '69 for sale for $900. Despite warnings from my father who had
gone through the same thing with my brother and a Renault Caravelle, I
bought it.  It was amazing how much rust that car had sustained in its 7
year life (Pennsylvania).  That was the first of four sixes.  I might
have had another but my wife is wearing the money for that one on her
left hand.  She also benefited recently when the money stash I was
saving for the Ratco frame went towards the 20th anniversary present.

Hey Bob,
I have the opposite story to tell. My only real early experience with  
British cars came when I was driving a brand new 70 Plymouth Barracuda.   Here 
comes Beverly's sister Mary Anne into the drive with a brand new MG  Midget.  
Beverly had a 68 Mustang.  I tried one time to get into that  midget and 
said, yuk! Little did I know that one day (1980) I would be into  the 76 
Spitfire 1500 as my sportscar of choice. A buddy of mine had a 77 MGB  that I ran 
circles around.  Too bad for him for the 77 B's were the ones  with the bad 
camshafts.  That car was a home for the homeless mice for  decades. The 
1500 is still going strong.

Hi John,

I had to deal with the same issue when restoring my 250, it's a very common 
problem.  Try K & S Engineering hobby music wire, go to their website to 
find a retailer.  You can see the finished result in the 'Seats' category in 
this link: 
http://triumphowners.com/registry.cgi?section=triumph&vehicleID=231&i=2

The replacement is the first top bolster section with the double hooks.

Hey all!
Thanks for replying to this topic. This was a bunch of fun!!

And rumors of the death of this group/board were obviously very EXAGGERATED!

This sort of morphed into 'how old were you when you got it'. I was 25, out of
college a few months over a year and married one year. That was 24 years ago.
All I really knew about Triumphs was that brother's Spitfire was the smallest
thing I'd ever crawled out of and that the one's with the little British Flag
on the fenders had a 6 cylinder.

I have a feeling that the bolts are just turning and the nuts are not coming

You could cut an access hole into the rear parcel shelf.  I did that when I
had to do repairs on the differential mounts.  I ended up snap-riveting an
oversized patch panel over the repair and haven't had any issues.

Hi Guys,
Just thought I should post a note about our dear friend Bob  Palmer. I am 
sure many of you know him for he has been my sidekick for nearly 20  years 
now as we have done all things Triumph together.  We recently made  the trek

Darrell,

Thanks for the heads-up on Bob. I am so sad to hear of his health problems. I'll be dropping him a line.

Chin up, he'll pull through!

	Get a nut splitter from the auto parts store. It will split the nut in two.

Hello,

I am trying to remove my differential so that I can add a strengthening kit.
I have a feeling that the bolts are just turning and the nuts are not coming
loose, at least one of them. Does anyone have any suggestion? I do NOT want
to take the body off the frame.

Thanks in advance,

Subject: [6pack] dip stick felt/ how old were you when?
Message-ID: <011101cab707$f5e9ba30$6401a8c0@home>

Dear 6-packers

 

Anyone know how thick the felt (I thought it was cork, but it's listed as
felt) on the oil dipstick is? Mine crumbled and fell apart. I thought I'd
just find some cork and make a new one, but I want to make sure that I'm
measuring the correct oil level. 

 

And to add to the "how old were you when" posting - I was probably about 12
when an older boy in my neighborhood got a new one in around 1970. I thought
the big wheels just made it look really cool and it was just an aggressive
looking sports car. And then there was the sound! As I got older I got into
muscle cars and drag racing, but I always had a special feeling for the TR6.

 

When I met my future wife, her brother drove an MGA, and her dad had the
remains of two XK140's in the garage and was attempting to build one car
from them. We had an MGB for a while, which was fun, but what can I say, it
was an MG. 

 

Flash forward to 2002. My next door neighbor was a Land Rover nut and I had
mentioned how much I like the TR6. Imagine my surprise when he called me
over one day to show me the 74 TR6 in his driveway that he had won in a
charity raffle. He wasn't exactly mechanically inclined, the car needed a
lot of work, so for a fee it moved to my garage, and the rest is history.

To be honest, unless you put a washer that's more than 1/4" thick, it's 
not going to give you a bad reading on your sump dip stick. Look at the 
gradation on the D.S.,  down a quart (which is 15% +/- of the sump 
capacity) is down the dip stick something like .5 inches.

I also think you can buy the felt from TRF and probably Moss. Hint, hint.

Getting into this one late...

I was 18 with my first TR6 (72), sold it stupidly at 21.  I was 8 when it was born.
I was 24 with my second TR6, also a 72.  Sold it in 2008, to buy:
I was 44 with my third TR6, a 73.
Now, I'm 46 and just bought my fourth (but didn't sell the third!) , a 75 to race with.

On the other hand, the Italia is a year older than I am!

		Hi Everyone,	I discovered a bad differential mount on the right rear of my
car and it looks like the differential mounting pin may have a hairline crack.
I seem to remember that a lister did a pretty through description of repairing
the diff mounts, but I was unable to find it in the archives.  Can anyone
steer me in the right direction and maybe suggest a repair strategy that
doesn't involve more that removing the diff and doing some welding?	Thanks.

If the pin itself is cracked, you probably need to replace the pin by 
cutting an access panel in the rear deck to get at the top of the pin.

Here's how I fixed my cracked mounts.

When I was a kid gtrowing up in a college town it always seemed the more
interesting folks drove TR6s and other higher end British sports cars.   Guys
with better educations, good jobs, money and sharp girlfriends, but I also
noticed that the guys that kept them (the sportscars) knew how to turn
wrenches and seemed to enjoy that part of the hobby.   Detroit muscle was
still big, and I had some of that (and did a few burnouts) before ending up
with a string of practical 60s-80s Volvos.

I bought my 73 when I was 40.   My
mechanical knowledge continues to expand.

Message-ID: <C7CF3732220D4405BF2F38C7914DBAB1@BobPC>

We are doing a controlled roll out of this announcement to minimize server 
impact, so PLEASE DO NOT share it with any other Forums or Mail Lists. It 
was released to the 6-Pack Forum on the 24th and will be given to the BCF 
and Triumph Mail List on a few days.

Announcement:

Over the past few weeks, James Matos, Len Renkenberger, Paul Rego and I have 
been working together to make Len's 6-Tech Manual available for download at 
no cost. Paul and I have agreed to host the manual on our respective sites 
and have had a number of 6-Packers do some test downloads for us. The test 
downloads have been successful so it's time to roll this out to the 6-Pack 
Forum first.

There are a couple of download options so folks with high speed as well as 
low speed connections should be able to get what they need. There are also 
very specific directions on the steps to take to save these files to your 
hard drive.

The first option is for those with DSL/Cable and is a download of the 
complete manual at 36 MB and a supplement at 16 MB. With a high speed 
connection, the 36 MB file should take less then 5 minutes.

The other option for those with a slower connection is to download the 
individual sections that range in size from 1 MB to 5 MB.

If you find that downloads are taking longer then expected, please try again 
at another time.

Len has been very gracious in letting us post his manual and the only thing 
being asked is that you abide by the copyright for his material.

You will find the files available here (http://www.74tr6.com/6-tech.htm) and 
here (http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/6-tech-Manuals.htm)

Hi Gang. 

 

Might anyone have a British Leyland stereo FM/cassette deck they'd be
willing to part with, or know someone who does? I'd like to put one in my 75

They were always a poor man's sports car.  Maintenence was indifferent if at
all. When those guys married their girlfriends and she got pregnant the TR6
just wasn't "practical" anymore.

Nowadays in our area when you show up at an event, you can often find Chip &
Muffy sitting in the shade eating marinated melon balls.  When they talk about
working on their car, they mean "where to take it".

There are a few serious wrenches around.  Most of them do their own work out
of a sense of enjoyment and they want to control the quality of the work.

Feeling Curmudgeonly today,
John Cyg.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I don't remember the answer. Is
there an advantage between using the solid choke cables over the flexible

to use the one that works the best.

The 74 carbs do not have a return spring on the carbs so the flexible cables 
won't work.

I put return springs on the later carbs also so to make the solid cable work 
easier.

John,

This may be true for some of the US Iron and custom hot rod owners, but most 
of the LBC owners I know on this list and the ones I meet locally do all the 
work they can on their cars. The two items some owners dont attempt is 
upholstery and paint.

I am on my 3rd restoration and do all the work I can. I farm out machine work 
but try to do all the rest. My cars are by no means perfect, but they look 
good and run just great.

When Muffy (actually Peg) and me drive to a car hop or show, we usually get 
take out at a local restaurant or diner and sit in our chairs and have our 
lunch and then take out a good book and pass the time reading and talking to 
the folks. 

BTW, what are marinated melon balls?

Bob

Colin - 

   Are you telling me that an insurance company is threatening to cancel 

your collector car insurance if you install a modern radio in your car?

What about radial tires or new seat belts?  You need to find another 

insurance company.
