The following is a list of questions I've been asked and sometimes answers to
go with them. If you have a question or feel you can answer one of the existing
questions, drop me a
line.
|
Q: What is scuttle shake, what causes it and how can it be remedied?
|
Q: Does anyone know the difference between 16P and 16PB front brake
calipers? Are they interchangeable? Which is the best choice for performance?
|
Q: Does anyone know if the SU manifold from the Triumph sedan will fit
the GT6 (underbonnet clearance)? If not, does anyone know where an SU manifold
can be found for the GT6?
A: The SU manifold can't be used because the engine is canted at an
angle in the saloon and therefore the carbs won't be level if you bolt this
into a GT6. Clearance will probably be a problem too. You can buy adaptor
plates from Triumphtune (Moss) and retain the standard manifold (though
clearance is still tight).
|
Q: Does anyone know if an automatic GT6 was ever produced, or of a
suitable box for a conversion?
|
Q: What is involved in swapping a Spitfire tub on to a GT6 chassis?
Q: For someone who is building a Spit 6 - the GT6 with rotoflex rear
does not have hand brake guides on the chassis like a Spit does. The GT6 had
them welded to the floor of the body. Since they are using a Spit body it does
not have them. Anyone know of an easy solution?
Note: The above questions were combined, as John Sisler provided this
comprehensive answer provided below. Many thanks John!
