Re: Strombergs, setting up and all that
Thanks for suggestions, yes the picture here: http://www.canleyclassics.com/triumph-gt6-mkiii-breather-details-all-markets-except-usa-from-engine-no-ke10001e/ shows the right carbs. The chaps have now run hoses from each carb to a tee piece then to the rocker cover and it seems much better. The only...

Strombergs, setting up and all that
I had a spare pair of carbs, so got a good knowledgeable friend of mine to strip them and re-build them with new gaskets etc while I ran the car (1970 2000) on the existing, original carbs, which ran fine but were leaking enormous amounts of oil. My mechanics here in Germany have now removed the old...

Inlet Manifold flow balancing.
Oh dear. The man that was doing the inlet manifold flow balancing for Witor is unable to do any at the moment due to injury, and it doesn't look like he'll be able to do any soon, possibly ever. I was hoping to have my inlet manifold done for my early MkII. Does anyone know of anyone else that could...

Re: Phoenix TR6 extractor manifold to 2.5Pi saloon?
It's only an inch or less from the chassis, as it goes pretty-much straight from the downpipe to the back box. It no longer goes through the frame like the original.

Re: Phoenix TR6 extractor manifold to 2.5Pi saloon?
It's all fitted and it looks great and sounds great. As for power difference, there is nothing noticeable below 3k RPM! So far no issues with the extra heat, it runs just as it used to. It got a bit warm when idling for a while, but I have an old electric fan fitted and can manually switch that on i...

Re: Phoenix TR6 extractor manifold to 2.5Pi saloon?
I suppose I'll put it on as it is and then take it easy for a while to see how it goes. I don't do long journeys much and don't race around either, but I do like the idea of running some kind of tube/pipe(s) from the front or underneath the car to point at the manifold. Also, some kind of metal shie...

Re: Phoenix TR6 extractor manifold to 2.5Pi saloon?
Car in bits, manifolds and complete exhaust off. Seemed pointless putting it all back how it was and as postage was actually only £17.50, I rung Witor and ordered one of his 6-3-1s, which arrived today. It's the angle of that front pipe that makes all the difference! It should be fitted to the car T...

Re: Hello - Triumph TR2000 From USA - Portland OR
Very nice. Those MK1's certainly got around in the world! There was a gentleman on the 2000 fb group who bought a 'barn find' in Mombasa, Kenya, and is going to get it back on the road. For obscure British cars like these I don't envy you for the postage costs for parts, especially when larger thing...

Re: Phoenix TR6 extractor manifold to 2.5Pi saloon?
Everyone was right. It doesn't fit! Crossmember. To make it fit would require some extreme bodging and bashing to move the edge of the pipes away, so I'll leave it and sell the manifold to someone with a TR6! How did you get on with yours TRPi? Looks like Witor is the only option, which is fine but ...
