Triumph TR6 - Front spoiler

My '76 lost it's front spoiler somewhere along the line. I haven't had any luck finding a replacement at any of the usual parts outlets. My next quest is to try to get lucky at a junkyard, but I'm not too hopeful of finding a nice one, if any at all. Anyone have any experience in locating one of these?

Karl, I have saw several go through on E-Bay over the last few months, a couple of which were as good as new, at least from the info and the pic's. At one time I had a spare but I'm not sure about that anymore as most of my spare parts have been boxed up in anticipation of an up coming move. I would keep an eye on E-Bay. While there is some junk on there, there is also some good parts going through. I have purchased several items through E-bay, and only had one item that wasn't as good as advertised. Good luck.

What's up with the vendors not selling the spoiler anymore?

Where are you in Colorado? If in the Denver area, check with Paul Dierschow at Sports Car Craftsmen Telephone (303) 422-9272. These are the folks that work on my MGB and they just finished a ground up, 2 cars to make 1, build of a 76 TR6 for me (that I get to finally pick up tomorrow!). Let them know that Bob sent you!
If you are up near Ft Collins, there is another shop The Motor Way LTD. that I have heard good things about but do not have first hand experience with.

good luck

Karl--A used spoiler was posted on ebaY this morning. Seems like a good opportunity for someone to manufacture these babies as there is quite a demand for them. Good luck. Rick O.

I also would try e-bay. I have bought a lot of parts from other nice tr6 owners for my rebuild. Does anyone have info on how/where to mount the spoiler ?

Dave, the spoiler is mounted under the front bumper with three bolts and nuts with large washers. Don't remember the size but who guess the screws are 8-32 about 2" long. the front wings have a hole for the two outside mountings and there is one in the center. They are not very large holes. I tried most of the new & NOS suppliers but was always told the spoiler is no longer avialable. As others have noted, look for a good used one on ebay or someone parting out a TR. Good luck in finding one.

That spoiler went for $152.50/used someone with some plastics mfg. experience could easily make money on that one.

In the 70's and sunny here today it is great to drive 1 of these little cars in this climate.
