Nacelle covers and top yoke

[mik]

I am restoring a 1960 T110 and all the nacelle cover and top holes line up. The problem I have is the centre hole along the sides dosn't line up with the top yoke, they are about 1/4" out. Would anyone know from the photo wether the top yoke is the right one, there is no part number as its been polished and chromed in a previous life

There were so many variations of nacelle that it can be difficult to say, but I think that top yoke could be from a later model (6T from around '64 maybe?).
You really need the opinion of an expert on these models, such as Hughie Hancox, or maybe a Triumph parts specialist such as TMS Nottingham or Len Craig would probably know?

Hello,Before you blame the top yoke post a picture of the nacelle lower pinch bolt as you could have a single down tube nacelle. The duplex nacelle lowers have pinch bolt holes positioned lower down than the single downtube nacelle lower and this could explain your misalignment.Regards David

David, here is a photo of the leg cover. The centre of the pinch bolt is 40mm / 1 9/16" from the seam where it meets the leg cover tube.

Hello, Sorry for the delay in my reply.From looking at your pic i would say the nacelle lowers you have are single downtube not duplex and that is your problem. I will try and upload a pic of what duplex lowers pinch bolt position looks like. regards David

Hi, see attached pic i think it supports my suggestion your nacelle lowers are single downtube not duplex which is why they dont fit! regards David
