Triumph Breakers for GT6 Door Bits

[GT6Craig]

Morning all,

Having accidently sold the internal mechanisms for my GT6 doors, and failing miserably in trying to fabricate the various bits and pieces, I am looking to buy the gubbins to get my doors operational again.

Having tried Spitfire Graveyard, Quiller’s and Spitbitz with little success, I am looking for more suggestions on who I can turn to for help.

I need pretty much everything from the inside of the door, less the glass, quarterlights, and handles.

Any other companies who can help would be appreciated.

There is a cat in my neighbourhood who insists on sleeping on my lovely new carpet so I really need to get this sorted. (I have taped some cardboard up for now).

Canleys? http://www.canleyclassics.com/?xhtml=xhtml/diagram/gt6mkiiidoorhandleslockandwindowregulator.html&xhtmlcatalogue=xhtml/catalogue/gt6mkiii.html&category=bodyandfittings&xsl=diagram.xsl

as for the cat, give it a pile of a few old towels (clean) and some chicken in an area away from carpet, itll probably sleep on there from then on  :)

Give Wins International a call http://www.winsintltd.co.uk/ I have had a number of bits off them over the years.

Got my conversion from the Spitfire Graveyard. £150 the lot two years ago.
You can have my spitfire windows and convert the other way.  :)

Could you pick up an old door or are they unobtainium now.?

You do find them every now and again but I think they are quite a wanted variety. Last time I spoke to chic doig he had some in and he also makes parts for the runners etc too.

Clove of garlic in a pot, dead easy to grow. Cats hate garlic!   ;D

Mine is quite partial to it in his Spagetti Bolognese

Place parcel tape on the seat sticky side up. When he walks on it it will stick. This freaks cats out, best to stick a couple of lines together so that it forms a little carpet. Ha Ha.

Another option which would be very funny would be to get a spring and fit it under the seat foam. Have it trigger when he stands on it........ Cat-a-pult !!!!

Or even better if you have a 1500 they had a seatbelt switch and you could wire it to a pair of air horns. Ha Ha

Leave the dog in the car/garage for a few days!

Thanks for all of the above advice guys.

Still on the hunt for the door internals - so far no one has been able to help.

I have tried the following

Quiller
Spitfire Graveyard
Chic Doig
Wins

I'm holding out for Southern Triumph next, who are going to call me back.

My car is pretty much ready to roll out of the garage - pending these bits!

Any other pointers would be appreciated.
