Check out Mr Pople at Frimley, Hants tel no.  01252-329826.  He's very helpful & has done some good repairs for me.

Contact Oliver Barnes on his website. His company-Tri-Supply is brilliant & based in Honiton, Devon, UK. I use him regularly although I must admit that he is only 15 miles away, but he ships all over the world. If he hasn't got it then no-one has!!

Most Triumph manuals are available on the net in PDF format for downloading-& their FREE. It's worth a try

Best of luck.

Thank you Trumper & TBS for your help.
Must admit that the last Triumph I had was a 1958 3TA in the 60's & that was an absolute heap of c***. Looking forward to getting some riding in.

British Bikes / Oils-the old chestnut!

I have recently purchased a 1966 Triumph TR 6 in very good condition. Upon reading different publications I find that different oil recommendations are used. I have heard that multigrade oil is not the best for a classic, due to holding particles in suspension & also not to use any semi or fully synthetic oil in an engine with roller bearings. The gearbox oil recommended varies from SAE 50 to an EP 90 (I know that the viscosities are virtually identical) but which is the best?
Your advice & experience would be very welcome.
