Paint scheeme for ´58 TR6
« on: September 25, 2006, 02:10:58 AM »
 ???Hi,

I´m restoring a 1958 TR6.
I know that the color scheme for this model should be Aztec red/ ivory, but how do I define the colors.
Do they have a RAL no ?

Do anyone have a color photo showing the right colors ?

Nrext problem is how do I fix the rear fender to the frame behind the gearbox.


Any help / comments is apriciated.

Cheers
Barthol ???

I would guess (from your terminology and spelling) that you live in the USA?

The original paint colours would not have had RAL numbers so for anyone living in the USA I suggest you contact Don Hutchinson: http://www.triumphman.com/

Thank you for your reply but the reason for my choice of words and spelling, is that I live in Denmark.

If you know of somebody closer who can help out ??

Best regards

Thanks for saying where you live (it really can save a lot of confusion if people would say where in the world they live or at least enter it into their profile).

I don't know who would *freely* give the paint colour information closer to you or sell the correct paint to Denmark. Possibly Hugh (member 'TBS') could help?:

Or The Triumph Owners Motor Cycle: Club  http://www.tomcc.org/index.html


Can you give any more information about the rear mudguard?
Possibly you have some parts missing?
Do you have a parts book?
