The Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2·5 Register Forum

Any one in the UK making replacement seat covers for the 2500S. I don’t mean over covers I am looking to restore my seats with new covers. There is a link on the web site but it is a dead link. (www.rei-trim.com)

Thought you would all like to know about this new web site for the sale of Triumph used parts.
www.trumpybitz.com its free to list an add for an introductory time.

A bit late for this thread but next time do this: I have used this method since buying a cam from Wade Cams, sadly now closed, ages ago.

Thanks Mike, I hadn’t undone the handbrake mec. So missed John’s point, when I did and followed your instructions the pedal came up. Cheers Chaps!

They are marked with the numbers:- 3134-851 which is on the near side on my car and 3134-850 which is on the off side.
So! is this correct or were they back the front and arse about?

The question is which bracket goes on what side.
I recently found that my adjusting brackets were installed back the front. The larger one in the photo. Now I think they may also be on the wrong side.
The retailers of these don't seem to know what goes where.
They are marked with the numbers:- 3134 ...

You can buy replacement plugs with a hexagon inset so an allen key can be used but you won't find them everywhere,
