From Moss Motoring 1984 If your transmission acts like the clutch is not fully disengaging, (grinding while shifting, etc.), the problem may be the clutch or pressure plate, your hydraulics (The slave cylinder rod should move about an inch or so.), or lastly, the Notorious Throwout Fork Pin, Moss part #596-040. Every TR2 thru TR6…
From Moss Motoring 1985 by Bea Meyer Fogelsvillle, Pa We all know that the real star of the movie ‘Diner’ was a red TR-3A, but Triumphs have appeared in many other films, both American and foreign. Test your knowledge to see how many of the following questions you can answer correctly. The answers follow. In…
There is something about wire wheels that says “this is a British sports car!” Years ago, when I was the proud owner of a disc wheeled Triumph, I discovered how easy it was to convert any TR2, 3, 4, 4A, 250 or 6 to wire wheels. It’s also a relatively inexpensive task and, as wire-wheeled…
The TR6 is not a car that one would I generally think of as a base for a custom-bodied special. TVR, in England, did use TR6 mechanical components in some of their coupe models in the early ’70s and Hathaway, a California-based kit car company, did a handsome pre-war Fraser-Nash-like body to fit to the powerful…
As you may have read in the last edition of Moss Motoring, we were busy readying the Moss TR3 for the upcoming Gold Coast Rally in San Luis Obispo, California, a beautiful two hour drive north of our California headquarters. As a major sponsor of this three day event, which included a vintage car auction, 175…
Go east, young man! Once again, we’ve hauled the Mossmobile away from the California sunshine and over the Rockies to yet another season of British Car events back east. However, before we started out we had an exciting weekend on the west coast with a tremendously successful MG Marque Day and the conclusion of the…
A little piece of motoring history was made on Thursday, May 21, 1992 when British Motor Heritage announced the addition of the TR6 bodyshell to their range of remanufactured items for classic vehicles. I consulted my notes on this project to find that it was early September 1989 when David Bishop and I sat down…
MGB Windshield Installation Tip Joe Coffman Cranbury, TX I would like to pass on a tip that might save some time and effort for others, as it has me. When replacing the windshield frame to the body on MGBs, the holes have to be in almost perfect alignment to install the four bolts that hold…
(What started out as a Question and Answer interview, developed into several hours of intimate glimpses into theTriumph legend, from a man who spent thirty years in the Triumph engineering department. Here are just a few of the stories that Tony shared with us on his visit to Moss Motors in October 1991. —Ed.) His…
This may sound straightforward enough, but it’s surprising how many people fold their soft tops away incorrectly and then wonder why they fall apart prematurely (the tops, not the people, as far as we know…). Look after your top and it should be able to perform (i.e. look good and keep the rain on side)…
