Hi Hogie, Yes i used a o/d Control box, details below, and yes as soon as the clutch is pressed it disengages o/d, I have two inhibitors switches so that I can't engage o/d in 1st - 2nd or rev, so no chance of o/d in reverse. Here's a set on ebay with brkt https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224719844400?hash=item345258b430:g:ObIAAOSwlUhhnlsz and some info on the o/d controller https://www.revingtontr.com/product/rtr1001k/name/logic-switch-overdrive-all-types ?

This is on my MK3 GT6 with a 2500 engine fitted, uprated J Type o/d, I used a Sparco Steering wheel with two buttons on, I use one for the horn and the other for o/d, If you fit o/d you should use the over drive inhibitor switches which disengage's o/d the moment you touch the clutch pedal, so you can never leave it on, I also made another brass contact ring to fit in the steering coloum as the photo shows, one contact for the horn the other for o/d, the steering wheel from Demon Tweeks, inhibitor switches from Rimmer's, This all works great, o/d only on 3rd & 4th

I stuck mine in with tiger seal, I also used tiger seal to stick. The rear wing strips on and the rear chrome trim, on my GT6 mk3

Just popped into my local Shell station for some VPower fuel, pop the gun in the tank started filling then noticed the price £1.61-9 Blinking highway robbery, this is from Shell Ropley Hampshire ( just outside of Winchester )

If the Canleys site doesn't work out pop down to your local auto spares shop and buy a sheet of gasket paper

any builders merchant or wickes, B&Q sell studding in lots of sizes along with nuts and washers but i'd burn them

Hi I fitted Rimmer's part No RG1307PBR on my Mk3 about 4/5 years ago torqued them up, I must say I didn't notice them being out of shape, every thing has been fine since no clunks or horrible noise's https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-RG1307PBR

I'm sure that when I fitted mine there is adjustment inside the door, as you can see fully open and fully closed have a look here https://www.canleyclassics.com/?catalogue=triumph-gt6-mkiii&diagram=triumph-gt6-mkiii-door-assembly-glass-and-channels

can they see anything with those lights

That looks like a Commer BF late 50's I think but iv'e been wrong before

If your thinking of a Revington box , email Tim on, tl_walker@tesco.net, and tell him what you want and he will send you one, I think i got mine way back in January 2017 and it's worked great no problems at all,

Sorry Rob it's not meant to be.

any updates guys

I had Lee at H&H referb my delco dizzy, he popped a little brown box inside so no more points, it's blinking fantastic now have a look https://h-h-ignitionsolutions.co.uk

I have a 2.5 in my GT6 which I run a Newwman cam TR16/280/405 Just a thought if you change cam, it has a little bit more get up and go, along with being very drivable

When I sorted out my GT6 I added extra uprights to the front cross member to stiffen it ready for jacking, and on the rear I made jacking points under the beer can, these work very well, and of course a nice rubber pad on the jack plate

for the sake of a tenner it's worth a try, or get a glass one that you can clean, https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/fuel-filter-glass-chrome-with-8mm-hose-tails

Why all the fuss about drying, just give the panel a towel dry to remove most of the water, then pinch the wife's hair dryer for a completely dry panel even in the hard to reach corners

Edward if the dent is small a friend of mine can remove dents without damaging your paint work, give Mike a ring on 07572458077 he is based near Farnham Surrey

John any news yet, Glang did you fit a Kenlow type fan ? how about a photo please

Ben are you still looking, "pm" me, this came off my MK3 GT6 1973

Well after trying it every which way ! input at the top, output at the top, vertical or horizontal, 45 deg, it wont run full, if I start with it almost full a few mins on tick over and its half full, and there it stays ! so as Rob has said "nothing to worry about" thank you all for your views and advice

I shall experiment in the morning, Glang I shall turn mine up the other way , inlet at the bottom

I thought that with a pump that delivers fuel at this rate, it should keep the filter full Facet SILVER TOP Fast Road Solid State Cylindrical Pump Sealed, reliable solid state internals. 12 volt. Requires separate earth connection to pump body via fixing bolt. Less than 2 amp current drain. Will self prime up to 1 mtr lift. Footprint 140mm x 82mm x 85mm high (without unions). 2 bolt fixing at 65mm centres. Removable, washable internal nylon filter. Weight 760gm. Operating temperature range -60 to +43 deg C. Will pump from 5 psi to 6 psi. Flow rate 132 ltrs/hour (35 US gal/hr.) Union thread size 1/8" npt. There's no way the engine use's 132 ltrs an hour, I have also checked the filter on the sender unit, Rob am I just getting my knickers in a twist for no reason ?

Should the fuel filter always be full to the brim when the engine is running ? I have noticed that mine sometimes has only 1/4" of fuel in the bottom, The fuel pump is new only a couple of weeks old along with the filter, Both were replaced when the old pump stopped working, for some reason the coil burnt out, and I noticed that the filter was only half full, a friend said that the pump was sucking air and over heated, the old filter was a glass unit that you can unscrew to clean out, so this time I opted for a plastic throw away unit, the tank is clean inside all fuel lines are new, and yes the filter is the correct way up, the pump runs at 5 psi to a regulator and down to 2.5 psi for the carbs, any idea's please
