Triumph TR6 - Parts List?

I looked in the archives but did not see anything on a parts list. I am looking for something that would give me all the sizes of nuts bolts etc. without going to my hardware store and matching stainless nuts and bolts. any advice sincerely appreciated. Thanks

Bill,

If you have a Roadster catalog you can look up the part number for the fastener and interpret the part number into a fastener description. The factory fastener numbering systen is explanined in the archived thread from 12 January, 2005 under the subject line "HELP...fasteners"

I would not advise use of stainless fasteners for major load carrying applications unless you get into the precipitation hardenable stainless materials or, dare I say it, nickel alloy fasteners (both of which translate into bring major money).

Bill,

The Haynes book does itemize some nuts and bolts. At least my older version does. Most nuts and bolts are UNF (fine thread). Most are diameter 5/16th, 3/8th with the occasional 1/4 and 7/16th. I used grade 8 bolts. Be sure you specify Grade 8. Grade 5 are the ones usually available at a hardware store. I found the grade 5s didn't torque well.

You can probably estimate the lengths by looking at them. that's how I managed. Never came across a spot where they were all itemized.

Hope this helps.

I find that the TRF catalogues are helpful, but the Rimmer Bros catalogue seems just as good, and it is online, so you can click on the part and it usually "decodes" the part number to the fastener size. Alternatively there is a Triumph fastener manual on Rick's CD with all of the part numbers you could wish for.

You can get boxes of nuts and washers for surprisingly little money from places like Fastenal or McMaster Carr. I like Fastenal because they have many more actual stores you can visit, and the guys at my local shop help me out when I just need a couple of bolts - I don't mind buying boxes of 100 nuts or split pins, but I don't see any need for 100 bolts of a single size.

Hope that helps

Contact Alistair or myself off-line re getting CDII. On CDII there is a document listing most nuts & bolts that are used in a TR6. (this list is like the one Alistair mentions but has been compiled by Doug Baker). This is to length info also. Then go to auto supply and buy boxes of different sizes and lengths.
