6797 wrote:For taper roller bearings the prefix is the rating (I think) but I can't find KLM for Timken.... Just FAG. The reference I have says that "light/medium" for NSK/SKF/Timken = LM, but KLM for FAG. At a guess I'd say the C is the bearing class.( http://www.timken.co.uk/en-us/solutions/machinetools/Pages/BearingPrecisionLevels.aspx ) Thanks, hopefully they are all the same bearing, I couldn't even find the C prefix on their part numbering system. Fingers crossed they are the same.

If not, good luck with the search. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/141500902202?nav=SEARCH Worth mentioning they came quicker than eBay said too in my case Thanks, I see the box has the KLM on it as well, I have ordered them now, hopefully the LM instead of KLM is the same, some of the USA sites list the LM11949 bearing instead of KLM so hopefully they are the same ones

Morning all, im doing the front wheel bearings as part of the GT6 front end overhaul and am trying to get some wheel bearings. Most suppliers seem shut until the 5th :-( but a bearing supplier is open but have some confusion over the Timken part numbers I have seen that the Timken part numbers are; Inner - Timken L44649 Outer - Timken KLM11949C for the outer they only have a LM11949 not the KLM....C anyone know what the difference is? they say the catalogue does list the KLM part but Timken Europe are closed till the 5th and so they cant find out what the difference is. I take it the mk1 gt6 does have a different bearing size as most suppliers just list the one part.
-
lets hope its not glued on then as I will just cut the stuff off and hope its a nice wheel underneath.

I have now found the correct wheel for the GT6, anyone know what the incorrect wheel currently on the car is from? My guess was Herald or Vitesse, but they dont seem to have the padded rim. Its a 15" rim by the looks of it, bigger than the Formula wheel thats replacing it.

Monroe seem to do some decent priced rears for the spitfire, need to look into if these will fit on the GT6

7586 wrote:Just checked. Lots of KYB Gas a just for sale for Spitfire/gt6 just do a search. About £89 pair. I have KYB all round and they are really good. I can only find KYB rears for a spitfire, are all ear shocks the same for spitfire and gt6, I had thought the mk1 Gt6 had longer rear dampers than the rotoflex cars

8778 wrote:Here's a list from every ones favourite price gouger: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID008054 The GAZ are the cheapest, followed by the SPAX and then the Koni. I use Koni all round on my Mk1 and the ride is much improved on bumpy or poorly maintained roads. To be honest Koni isn't that much more expensive and you do get what you pay for. On other cars I have used Gaz...and they leaked in no time at all, Spax I have had on a couple of cars and just seem hard what ever you set them to and the Koni's seem like a lot of money. I can get AVO rears for £64 each, i have had AVOs a wgile now on my Peugeot hillclimb car and they work well and could be rebuilt and generally feel a bit more like a normal shock when you reduce the damping rate on the adjusters I was hoping that there is a decent OEM make that will fit as I dont want to spend £140 on a pair of rear dampers
-
can anyone recommend a good make or rear dampers for a mk1 GT6, there seems to be the cheap 'black' dampers sold for £30 a pair or a jump up to Koni/Avo and a big hike in price. It looks like Monroe and KYB used to do some rears, but are now discontinued Anyone know of a mid-price decent pair or rears? Cheers Dan

royboy66 wrote:A bit of info here :) http://www.teglerizer.com/mgstuff/advance_curves.htm That's the one I had found, thanks for posting it up though It lists the 7953291 as a d202 which is what I'm finding confusing as the body of mine is stamped d200 7953291
-
Has anyone got a list of distributor part numbers for the different GT6 mks, I have a D200 7953291 on my distributor on my MK1, but the Mk1 is being listed as a 202, although I can find other references to the mk1 having a D200 7953291 from some of the german electronic ignition kits. Anyone got a definitive list of the Delco Remy part numbers?

I think these look a good match, will give them a go tomorrow and see if I can actually see out of them!

cook1e wrote:The MOSS Triumphtune 330lb "Road lowered"springs (TT4701 sit about 3/4 inch lower than standard on a GT6 which is a nice stance as per the picture below so no need for spacers. The Spitfire ones have a different part number so are probably slightly shorter to allow for the lighter engine. Thanks Just ordered some mirrors from moss, could have combined postage, woops Did they come in black? I'm trying to keep it looking Original as I can with a few subtle updates

cliftyhanger wrote:KYB are decent quality. OE to lots of manufacturers so should be fine, much better than the "black" ones that are very cheap and probably better than some of the more expensive ones too. Firmer front springs are a good idea, at least 330lb, I always get mine from Moss as they say the spring rate AND the fitted lengths, unlike lots of places who just say "uprated" Always been happy with them too. Now bushes. "original" metalastic, yes, will last well. However, I doubt you will find them, only repro rubber that is not fit for purpose. You may need to compromise on the colour thing. (and don't buy on price, always check the quality!) Thanks Clive, I've read a bit about the moss ones being too short when in the 330lb rating, but I need to see what spring length is on it now to get an idea of what reduction in free length I need. I just need to look at some decent rear shocks now that don't cost a fortune? Do the likes of Cranley classics, Rimmers etc sell decent standard bushes or do they all get them from the same place and hence why most people go with poly bushes?
-
so im in the process of renewing all the bushes and dampers for the mk1 GT6 as they are all well and trully knackered. Has anyone used the KYB dampers? They come in black and at a reasonable price (£60 a pair), but only on the front as they have discontinued the rears. I have done a forum search but not turned up anyting. Im debating using some fast road springs, but I know some of the cheaper dampers tend to feel more bouncy with harder springs. Also, all the poly bushes seem to be red or blue, im keen for it to look orginal (ish) and would want black bushes, I take it some new orginals would be fine as I have seen a whole front end refurb kit for about £70

Same here, gap at the back of the door, just on the passenger side I had thought it was a poor fitting sill that had caused it

I have seen some on page 28 of the Moss catalogue http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/Pdfs/Components/THE%20COM%20CATALOGUE_14A.pdf but the stems look a bit tall, or maybe the picture is deceptive as the whole in the wing is on a slight angle so the mirror is rotated round a bit

Hi all, I'm looking for some replacement mirrors to match the ones shown in the picture below, there are some modern tex ones, but they don't seem to be exactly the same. Any ideas are much appreciated Thanks Dan
