Does anyone have any pictures to post of this area mentioned in the Vintage Triumph Register:
*** Two particular special problem areas are where the trailing arms (for the rear suspension) and differential are attached to the frame. Look very carefully at the location that the trailing arms mount to the frame. Very easy to get to, it's just behind the seats, and underneath the car. If there is rust on these pieces, get up, dust yourself off, and say 'Thanks, but no thanks'. ***
I got a little excited /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif when I found my '72 6 (very complete car, 60,000 documented miles, newer paint, newer tires, good chrome, very good interior except for cracks in vinyl dash, very clean engine compartment and new top) and I didn't do a very thorough check of the underside /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif
