Thank you for the kind words Bill,
Well, I topped up the gearbox and rear diff last night, the diff has a small leak so Ill be watching that. I was toying with the idea of fitting the Toyota LSD that can be adapted to fit via the kit from Goodparts, however the Original one is very quiet and seems to be in good condition apart from the little oil weep so im going to try and keep it as long as I can.
I recall years ago being told that the rear diff from a Triumph Dolomite 1850 automatic was the preferred diff for racing GT6's and TR6's because it was "Longer legged" and in most cases an LSD.
I think Ill investigate this further because I know where there is a scrap one lying rusting on the West Coast of Scotland where I come from, and ill bet the diff is in quite good shape.
I also looked over most of the bushings and bearing which have no movement with the exception of the sway bar end links and the front wheel bearings which have play in them, so thats next on the list.
Im also enjoying reading through all the different Triumph threads and the Technical pages as well, I find it very informative!!
