The Triumph 2000/2500/2.5 Register Forum

If you search on here, there has been previous debates on this subject, although I can't remember the general consensus of opinion as to the correct or preferred fitment. I know that I have two manual cars with them fitted opposite ways though!

Glad to help you get it sorted John. Looking forwards (when we are able!) to seeing your new aquisition in the flesh!

Wing mirrors are more period for Mk1's and prefacelift Mk2's - depending your preferences about originality!

This all makes sense as it seems autos did have the bar whilst manuals had the fork, although my white manual PI did have the bar setup; maybe for clearance - at the diff end rather than the gearbox end. Having said that, I don't really see that it should make a great deal of difference as the welde...

Anytime tomorrow or Wednesday to suit you. No plans - especially as I can't go anywhere..!

John, I have sorted out several used front tread plates for you to choose from, and also some seat runners. There were several variations of seat runners over the years; if you can take a picture of your existing one and either WhatsApp it or email it to me? Or ring me? You have my mobile no in one ...

I'll check tomorrow John and let you know.

Hi David,
It is open to the elements.
I usually spray some corrosion preventative wax in the space, such as Bilt Hamber Dynax 50, whenever I have the springs off (easier access).

I have some used Mk2 seat runners tucked away in the garage - I can check tomorrow for you if you wish. I can also look for the front tread plate that you previously mentioned as well, if you have not been able to straighten your existing one out!

Johnny,

If you know where I can get hold of a MK1 choke cable that doesn't need a peg to stop it going back in, let me know. £1,000,000 cash waiting.

Jeff

I have some original good used Mk1 choke cables. I will check what I have and let you know.
You can have two for that price Jeff...
