It is about 4-5mm. I stopped as soon as i noticed it. I have about 6 Doors i have been hording and might look at the others to see how they are.

Hi. the other day I started stripping the doors I have for a bare metal re-spray , As I started getting near the middle of the outer skin I noticed how deep the paint was there or some kind of filler material. I don't think the doors have ever been re-sprayed or repaired and was wondering is...

Oh dear so it looks like i have been sent the wrong bush set,Bugger!! The bush set only protruded slightly to the width of the orifice of the arm when fitting, Interested to see if Wadhams will want the old ones back if the way i got the original ones out is anything to go by, brute force and...

Hi harvey I will post a pic when I am back over at the car as I store it a few miles away. To try and explain a little better I have put the back end suspension back together and put the bolt through the lower arm rear to connect to the bottom of the Dedion elbow. where the arm now sits...

Hi and Cheers So I am safe to assume that the rear bush on the lower arm just pivots freely when you tighten up and does not lock into one position to twist on the rubber when moving up and down? Sorry if this comes across as a bit amateur but I am always keen to make sure the old bird is safe...

Hi Folks Last night I put back together the rear suspension on my 1973 2000TC. I have had everything cleaned painted and even had the DeDion Elbows Galvanized for longevity. Now my problem is this, I bought some Rear lower link bushes from Wadhams had them fitted and when offering everything...

Hi I was thinking about the new door skin's you see from time to time on the net and was wondering who makes them and does anyone actually make full complete door shell's? Chris

cheers Colin will look at that as i was going to order a set of bolts from Mark Gray.

Hi Has anyone ever just had the flange holes drilled out on the de dion to elbow on both sides if the threads are shot and just used longer bolts and nuts? Cheers Chris

Hi To bring this thread alive again the link that Colin put for the triumph site is spot on to help with what you should have on the front end. I have just bought a new set of calipers from Brakes international, I selected the later model that they advertise for as i have a 2000TC 1973 and made...

Hi Marcus Cheers for that mate, would be nice at some point to catch up with you when your out and about, whereabouts are you? I live just on the edge of Doncaster in Kirk Sandall. I am currently working on the back end at the moment, I intend to take the rear suspension off and give it a good...
