They have a brand new set of never used original trim rings on them and brand new centers. I can't remember of the centers were original or repro, but I can take them apart and look for markings. I also have a full set of repro lug nuts and 6 NOS ones. I could not put together a full set of original lug nuts. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!I believe these tires to be almost 50 years old. Somehow they are not cracked but to drive on them would be suicidal. I am not selling them as tires to drive on. I put them together for a show car but the car was never finished and I have been sitting on them. I am asking $3000 for the set and I am not really wanting to ship them. Please get in tough with me if interested. I also have a really nice original windshield. The glass is great, but the frame need to be repainted to be nice. This is also something I don't want to ship. Asking $250 for it I have two sets of door windows with rails on them. They are not perfect but they are really nice. I will take $100 for all four, but do not want to ship I do have a driveshaft that I would ship but it may be expensive because it is kind of heavy. I am asking for $80 on it. Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

You've convinced me - I'm going to convert to an electric pump.? It'll be a late January project most likely, as the car is currently in storage due to an overfilled garage here at home (but will be selling my '97 M3 soon I hope, and then the TR6 can come home). By the way - I called Moss today to tell them about the issue with the pump and my desire to return it, and they gave me a full refund (including refund of the shipping charge) no questions asked, and didn't even require me to send the defective unit back to them (largely because it has of course had gasoline passing through it and therefore could be troublesome to ship).? Now that's great service!! Again, your quick feedback is much appreciated - happy holidays all! Regards,Tim On Tuesday, December 15, 2020, 03:37:53 PM EST, Richard Lindsay wrote: Agreed.

It looks and fits great when it is up or down. The issue I have with the top is the difficulty in getting it up, especially in cool weather. It was installed by a Robbins top certified installer. Last year I was having my seat repaired by another top and upholstery shop in town. The owner said that the issue he has had with Robbins fitment on TR6s was the the rear section is too tight and causes the top to be difficult to put up if it?s the last bit stiff in cool weather. As I said other than that, the quality of the Sunfast top is great. When I called Robbins after the initial installation they told me that the top would stretch after it had been on month or two - didn?t happen. Happy holidays!

It has been on the car for around 10 years now and there is no fading. The photo below was taken about eight years after installation. The top looks like a brand new one. I have since bought boot covers and tonneaus in the same material. The TR6 has a roll bar so after purchasing a tonneau, it had to be cut, hemmed, and supplemented to allow fitment around the roll bar. The top shop pulled out the fabric they use for Mercedes or Porsche tops and it was an exact match to the Robbins top/tonneau fabric. If you go with the fabric top, I suggest you get some RaggTopp cleaner and protectant. Since the car is stored for the winter, each spring when it gets its first wash, I use the cleaner with a soft bristle brush to clean it. When the fabric is dry, I spray on the protectant and give it two or three coats allowing drying team in between coats. For the rest o the season, the regular car wash is all it takes to keep the top/tonneau/boot cover clean. > > > Keith Stewart > keithstewart at bell.net > > > > From: robert rudolphi > > Sent: December 26, 2020 4:28 PM > To: triumphs at autox.team.net ; Six Pack <6pack at autox.team.net > > Subject: [TR] New TR6 top > > Hi all, > > I am getting ready to order a new top for my 74 TR6.

I've never understood why TR6's only have 3 snaps per side but Spitfire's have 4 snaps. On a TR6 it's difficult to fold the quarter windows in without folding the corner just a bit, which is where they first begin to tear away from the top material. We simply put 4 snaps on my brother's 73 TR6 and his top folds perfectly on the top material between the quarters and rear window. Also, just as a habit, I always unzip and lower the rear window before putting down the top. I wonder how many folks do the same.
