I was told last night I should publish some of the mods I've done to my TR6 in the case that others may be interested, so I'll start with the Hydraulic Release bearing kit that I found from Racetorations (http://www.racetorations.co.uk).
As many of us would know, the original clutch fork mechanism wasn't one of Triumph's best designs, with the pin that holds the fork on the shaft, shearing from the moment of pushing the clutch, and the fact that its not central adds another moment. So when it breaks, it doesn't completely fail, but makes the pedal only half effective.
Add to this that many owners have also had the issue of the collar that slides over the input shaft binding after many years of use due to lubricant caked with clutch dust, and the fact that the collar isn't being pushed forward and back directly along the line of the collar, but the forces imposed on it are also down by the mechanism.
Both of these issues contribute to a pretty sub-standard clutch pedal by today's standards. And if I were going to the trouble of removing my gearbox, I wanted to upgrade it. So I did!
Some people say the TR6 was the end of the true TR sports car. It had the best of everything the TR range had to offer, Disk Brakes, IRS, Electric Overdrive and a soft top

After a couple of years at the new location things are progressing better each year.
The layout was changed slightly this year and worked well, with some more lessons learnt for adjusting next year.

As always, these events don't occur without the tremendous work and partipation of the volunteers, vistors, car display attendees and Queensland Rifle Association Belmont Range.
We look forward to seeing everyone in 2020

I'm a recently rejoined member of TSOA NSW and I'm trying to track down a TR6 I owned in the late 80's in Sydney. I sold it to a bloke called Steve Bryant who apparently moved to Qld in about 1999 ish and started a paint ball business up there.
I have looked up all the paintball outfits, and Bryants, in the phone book but have been unable to make contact. Since we're talking 20 years ago he may have even sold it since then, perhaps to a club member, or it might have been seen around the traps.
The car is an ex marque sports racer, white with flared guards and Koni rear shock absorber conversion. The bumper bars were white as well. It's not your usual 6 so I have attached some photos in case they help.
Thanks for any information.
Best regards
