The Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2·5 Register Forum

After judicially bending the stone guard in many directions, accompanied by the almost mandatory swearing and exclaiming "why did they design it like that", I finally had alignment. Could not for the life of me see where the spring clips went, and they were not on the car when I got it, so left ...

Can anyone tell me the trick to getting the calipers back on to the hub. I have just spent the best part of 2 days trying (unsuccessfully) to do this. I am able to align both the top and bottom holes up, and once even jagged the thread on the lower bolt. It seems as if the tin plate mudguard is ...

now to get it running properly ...

Another question from down under to the folks who are always so helpful.

The issue I have is that whilst the two holes on the end of the heavy bar line up ...

Paint code on my Australian assembled 1976 2500 is AL, and is some variety of (iridescent?) green. Does this code mean anything to anyone as all the info I have been able to source states that paint code should be a number.

Is anyone going to Tumbarumba in October for the combined meet between Triumph Victoria & Triumph Canberra ???
