jasongelly Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 HelloI have a 1968 GT6 mk1 and it is currently being restored, slowly. Whilst working through the parts that I took off the basket case, almost 20 years ago, I came across a back for back door hinge cover - in bits!It appears to be very brittle, and has broken into bits does anyone know if anyone is making new ones, or has made one themselves??Or better still, has anyone got one for sale. Part number 810699.Any advice or help much appreciated.Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonnett Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Try our friend Hazen aka byakk0. He is making them and I think he may have one with provision for a high level brake light. Drop him a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byakk0 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Thanks John!The high brake light is still in development, but here is my prototype, and a video of it working in the car.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R6KBmOWEI4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKh4UKKZG0g Black installed in a satisfied customer's car.

Nick Moore Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Hazen, is the flashing brake light done on purpose? I've never seen a flashing brake light - not sure it would be legal here. Most times Triumphs have flashing lights, it's due to a poor earth!Still, it's a great idea and if the flashing isn't compulsory, I'll have one!

byakk0 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thanks Nick. I'll keep you in mind. Need to make an adjustment for the dome light fitment.The flashing is not compulsory. It's a module intended for motorcycles, to get quick attention of those behind you. I was rear-ended once because the guy said he didn't are new. I was at full stop at an intersection.Direction indicators also are not compulsory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byakk0 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I snapped a shot of the 3rd brake light cover as seen through the rear view mirror. Very little obstruction to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Looking good Hazen, top work! I'll be up for one with just the brake light once you have them finalised 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screwdriver Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Apologies for resurrecting this but I'm looking for a 3rd brake light for the GT6 MK2. Are these still available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
