Triumph TR6 - Dismantling

Well the work goes on with dismantling the 74.5 six. last night pulled the windshield out, upper crash pad, and started to work on the metal dash. All that I can say is "thank goodness" for the Triumph manual and advise any one without the CD etc, is get a copy now. And if you are a non-member then join up.

I offer these tips, when you bag up bits and pieces identfy the item not only on the bag, but put a label on the piece. Also on the bag give the manual page reference (e.g.60.15.03), this will save time when you come to put your six back together.

I would suggest digital photos as well. you'd be surprised how often I scratch my head wondering...

Quite right lots of photos required.

I did notice that when I took off the windshield there was an orginal factory QC sticker stating that the paintwork was OK. One other thing was how good the original colour (blue) looked. I have now decided that this is the colour that it is going to be.

I agree! Lots and Lots of pictures, I even got an old computer in the garage so I could view the electronic pictures, nowdays you can take as many pictures as you want at no cost of developing, so take different angles, zoom in, zoom out etc. It's amazing how much you go back and look at them when putting it back together.

Les, sounds like you have everything under control, it has been about five years since I tore my 74.5 TR apart. Mine was built Oct. 1974 # CF28480 U
How close are in production numbers?
