standard-triumph hardware catalog

Does anyone have a legible scan of the standard-triumph hardware catalog? ISTR that someone touched up the scan that's on the web, with improved readability.

Thanks Peter, Thanks Don:

I have green and blue parts books plus Bentley.
I stopped using the parts books a while back due
to lack of specifics. I had forgotten the blow-up
sheets. My bad.

The Triumph hardware download is worth it's weight
in gold! Because I have no point of reference, I remove
car parts, drive them over to the speciality fastener shop
and more or less purchase blind , bolts and nuts that fit.

Now I can purchase specific!

fantastic,

thanks both.

Actually, the parts books can be rather helpful. If you see a "traditional" six-digit Triumph part number, theres' something relatively special about the bolt/nut/whatever. But if there's a number such as KX4508, that number tells you it is a setscrew, cross-recess, flat countersunk 80 degre head, No. 10 UNF, 1" in length.

There is a summary chart for all this at the Canley Classics web site.

Thanks Don,

Much better than the old PDF copy I had.

Don/Peter:

I think I have it correct now. Do
either of you see any blatant blunders
in my set up to install the trailing arm
Paul sent to me?

Thanks,

Uh, just one Dale. You forgot to install them on the car!

Joking aside, looks good from what I can see.

I would check the u-joint flange assembly - I don't think that they use washers but I don't have a TR6 parts manual so I don't really have any reference. On my TR4A, I found that I had to use the factory flange bolts because the new ones that I bought were a little too long. It's more common to find that TR use a lot of 1/4" increment bolt lengths (even some 1/8" increments) and very uncommon to find them at the hardware store.

Now you got to do it.

One more thing. It looks like you are using grade 8 bolts. Be sure to also use grade 8 washers and nuts with them.

Mr Tinster, Dunno if you got the chance to explore the permatex url that someone posted. I think it might be worthwhile for you(and anyone installing nuts and bolts and gaskets) to eyeball the website. I've been using "The RIght Stuff for better than 8 years and it's great. Loctite(Same as Permatex fasten stuff) takes the place of lots and lots of lockwashers.
