Hi John, Thanks for the photo. In the end I have fitted both of the stops in your pic as top window stops. Why there should be a need for two upper stops I don't know but anyway as far as I can see problem sorted. Thanks.

Hi John, Thanks for your input, the door latch is the original and not new. Those top parts that you show certainly look the same. What I don't understand is where they would fit. Do you happen to know by any chance? The top stops that I have are the same as what you show in the lower part of your pic. The bottom ones I have are large L shaped items that fit in the lower part of the door. I assume there are not supposed to be a total of three stops in one door. Hmm interesting...

Hi, Following on from my earlier post entitled "Mk3 GT6 Restoration nearly complete" I am getting close to completion now however, I have come across a part that I cannot figure out exactly where it comes from. I am sure it comes from the doors as I bagged all parts for the doors in plastic bags clearly labeled for which door etc. I thought it was supposed to be one of the window upper and/or lower stops but I have those fitted consequently I am at a loss as to where it exactly fits. I cannot recall from what part of the door I removed the it from. I cannot find it in the parts manual neither. I have attached a pic (first one) and hope someone can identify it. I have also included a couple of other pics. Thanks & Regards...Ken

Hi Roger, I have the same problem as no chassisnumber visible at all as only appears on the plate. I believe that seems to be the norm with UK cars. I will mention that when I make the appointment. Local triumph group sounds good. Thanks for info.

Thanks very much, just a few jobs left and then I have to make an appointment with the RDW. Hopefully that goes okay and I can get it on the road as soon as possible.

Hi All, Thanks for the replies, appreciated. Here are a few pics that I have just made but they are not that good. I will take a few when I have it completely finished and then outside so it can be seen more clearly. I have left the engine as standard as well as the rest apart from a Nick Jones CV conversion. The car is an original Saffron Yellow RHD and remains so. I have the front and rear screens to insert and as already mentioned the door fixtures etc. The biggest problem that I can see with the doors is getting the outer door seal fitted on the outside of the quarterlight as I have noticed that the quarterlight cannot be fitted if the seal is already in place. This means I will have to try to suspend the quarterlight halfway in the door and then try to fit the seal. I have a tool to fit the clips by the way. This was mainly the reason for asking the proper fitting procedure to follow as I assume I can maybe fit the sliding glass part before the quarterlight or do I have to fit the quarterlight first? Sorry for all the questions...Thanks & Regards, Ken

Hello, I am now finally coming to the end of the restoration of my 1971 GT6 Mk3 RHD rotoflex model. I would really appreciate advice on the following problems please: What is the correct ignition timing at idle? All my manuals have different specifications i.e. 7, 10 or 13 BTDC. I generally use 98 or 100 octane petrol. What is the correct procedure when reinstalling all the side door and glass fittings? It was a long time ago that I took the door fittings apart that I am struggling to figure out what to install first. At what point are the top door seals fitted? I cannot get the glass and the quarter light in after I have installed these. Is there a correct method of doing this? Any information/ideas greatly appreciated. Regards, Ken

Hi, I have just spent most of the day trying to figure out the correct way to route the interior light/heated rear screen wiring up the left hand side of my MK3 GT6. I wish I had taken a photo of this part when I took it apart however this has been about 15 months ago and now it is back from the body shop I am starting to rebuild it. I am having difficulties trying to remember which way to route it. I have tried just about every way I can think of to route it but nothing seems to work. I need to get this sorted before I can start on the headlining. Can somebody help please. Regards, Ken

Thanks Alec, That's great....Cheers.

Hi, I am shortly going to be fitting the headlining to my restored Mk3 GT6 1971 as it has now recently returned from the paint shop. I am putting in the wiring at the rear for the interior light, rear lights etc and have a question regarding this Night Dimming thingy. This is probably a dim question anyway but I wish to bypass it and can see that I need to connect like for like but I am left with red and black wires. I assume these are power and earth. Where do they connect or are they not used anymore. I have searched the forum and cannot see an answer to this question. Regards, Ken.
