Club Triumph

I finally manged to drill out the Top hat brackets on Bank Holiday Monday, I ended up using my mate Johns Pillar drill, glad I did because stainless is very difficult to drill, a slow drill speed and plenty of oil was required.

I also drilled out 5.5mm and tapped the centre of the brackets 1/4" UNF ready to put on the car, I just need to pick the best 4 of my 10 Rostyle trims and drill the middle of the trim out 6mm then I will have secure trims that won't be flying off     

Spent a whole day working on the TR, one of the jobs I've finally got round too is Repainting the Black sections of the Rostyle trims.

Masking up took and age, there must be an easier way than cutting up bits of masking tape to suit?

The finish result was well worthwhile though

Great job Gary. Well done and well worth the effort. I saved a whopping 34kgs of unsprung weight by ditching the wire wheels and you must have done as well; maybe even more.

Thanks John, I certainly don't miss the Wires that's for sure.

Not fitted my Top Hat brackets yet, hoping a simple tweek with the Pliers to the attachment rim at the 3 fixing points will keep them in place?!!
