WHAT we’re doing, and HOW we’re doing it!

February 2, 2026

Welcome back following our January break! Mission accomplished and fingers crossed, it looks like we successfully split our web editing software into two smaller files without crashing it. We’ve also been busy creating new Triumph parts that are not available elsewhere. The two brackets shown in this week’s photo are front turn signal lamp brackets for late 1974-1976 TR6. We have a car here that was missing these brackets (both sides!), and none were to be had anywhere. Even used brackets seem unobtainable, so we had to roll up our sleeves (again) and make them here. Borrowing one from another car in the shop, we were able to create a CAD file and then print them on one of our three 3-D printers. Yes they are now plastic where as the originals were steel, but even plastic is better than the wonky strap brackets that were previously used on the car in question. We chose a reinforced High Temperature filament to create these new brackets, so there is no need to anticipate a shortened life expectancy from not using metal. With the engineering and production solved, we are now able to offer these brackets in our eBay store for all late TR6 owners who might also need one (or a pair).
