It's actually not a brace. It's designed to catch on a bracket
on the firewall in case of a head on accident to prevent the bonnet

bracket, you really have no reason to keep the brace.
I don't know what size battery Triumph origi
Hi all,

last year. A good couple of hours on the motorway. Anyway, as I was
coming back
Thanks for the info, guys. I did a bit of research on batteries, didn't
realize there were so many sizes. One wonders why so many sizes are needed.
Anyhow, my neighbor bought the existing top-post battery and I bought a
side-post battery at Autozone. It's a group 78 and sits in the box nicely.
And

James, Had a similar experience late last summer. Driving on a city street,

trunnion bolt on the RR. It also produced even more camber than usual on the
rear wheels.

Can anyone recommend a good sports exhaust system? 4-2-1 manifold etc...
Rimmer do one for #327, Canley for #325 (perhaps the same make?)
TSSC do the Bell brand (only brand I can find at the moment) - not sure
what the price is on that.
Is there anywhere else to look?

Oh yeah... forgot something.
Ceramic coating or thermal wrap? both?
Do you do the whole exhaust or just the manifold?
And I didnt mean full sports as in a racing like situation - I meant the
full system including manifold

Well I took the whole thing apart and YES I did forget to replace the bolts
on the rear engine plate (it's amazing what them things do! ) Shifts
smooth as silk both into first and reverse. Thanks to all who tried to help
me with the problems that I described in my earlier post. Live and learn!!
I need a favor...
Someone with a 'known' correct laygear for a
late (large synchro) 3 rail GT6 tranny ...
could you please count the teeth on the four
gears. I'm trying to verify which laygear is which here
