Featured 1967 Tr6c Full Restoration For Su

The bike had a hardtail on it S R and i had a rear frame section but it was a early one, early 63-65 swingarms are a 1/4 inch narrower as they have gearbox speedo drives and so the shock mount on the frame is a 1/4 inch further in on the frame for alignment of the righthand shock and the oil tank mounts are different as well.

 

Also a pic of the frame repair where the previous owner tried to cut off the rear engine/swingarm mount

 

Back on the TR6C now i have sorted a few other jobs, i found an old gen throttle in my bins and i had the housings re chromed along with some other parts, cleaned up the tube and sorted out some grips.

 

The grips are a copy of the original Amal grips fitted in 66 on Triumphs, i managed to find some original NOS Amals for my TT but have not managed to find another set so pattern will have to do until an original set turn up lol.

 

The new Amal screws and cable adjusters arrived at last so i could finish off the little job of fitting together the NOS levers on the re chromed clutch and brake perches

 

After looking high and low i couldn't find the correct side cover for a TR6C with just the one ignition switch, so i dressed out the lower ignition switch pressing from an TR6R side cover and cut a new larger hole in the top pressing originally for the light switch so as the ignition switch will now fit, had the hole welded up in the lower part and its ready for paint

 

Finally managed to squeeze my paint work in and get it all prepped and primed, hopefully i can get back out there next week some time and finish all the black gloss coat.

 

All frame parts in black but will have pics on Monday i did bring home the front brake drum though now painted silver

 

My mate Tig normally helps me but i might give this one a go all on my own
