Featured 1967 Tr6c Full Restoration For Su

Lol, i'm sure you will get there in the end

 

As i did not want to watch the race live Su n me spent the day out in the workshop stripping her engine in prep for the rebuild, lots of water and sand inside

 

Sadly most of the gears have pitting on them as do the shafts, possibly the layshaft will be ok but its that dilemma of how much pitting is acceptable. I will give them a thorough clean and then decide Luckily i have a good few spare parts.

 

Cheers Sandi, Su has always worked on bikes as like most teens growing up in the 70's if you wanted a bike it meant buying a cheap old scrapper and doing it up lol, she even had to give her nails a final scrub this morning before popping into work for a few hours.

Still both riding Triumphs today

 

Finished stripping the engine and Su is scrubbing all the good parts inc getting the sludge trap clean, also managed to get the frame parts blasted and in etch primer ready for pre build the repairs.

 

Finally finished cleaning the gearbox parts, luckily i had a few new or nice second had parts and only need to buy the 3rd gears for the main and lay shaft. A pic of all the nasty parts to be replaced due to engine and box being full of water oil and sand

 

The pre build is under way ready for welding side stand lug and tank brackets and the cases are blasted and ready for the engine rebuild.

 

Todays little jobs, rebuild the rocker boxes after blasting with new seals and clean off the old packing grease from the new gears and make sure it all works.

 

Normally i do them myself with a hand held gun and glass beads but it's so bloody cold outside i got Steve at Phoenix in Poole to aquablast them Adie.

 

If not then just buy some fine glass beads, here is one i did myself with beads and a cheap gun outside.
