    Triumph TR6 Brake calipers

    Bill, He PM'd me on the issue. The mounting ears on the TR6 calipers are shorter even though it uses a larger diameter rotor. The TR6 spindle must have longer mounting ears. He said he needed about 3/8" to mount up the calipers.

    Triumph TR6 Brake calipers

    Bolt pattern is the same as Series 1, 2 and 3 Alpine at 3.5". Series 4 and 5 Alpine was 3.25" Capri was the same as the Series 4 and 5 but different pad pins and Metric brake line fitting. Maybe it was the brake line fitting/location on the TR6? MGC is also the same as the TR6.

    Transmission R&R

    The original Alpine transmission won't work with the V6. It has no OD. T5 is the best, or Toyota. There is an adapter for the Mazda RX8 from England. The Mazda is only 6 speed state side but you can get a 5 speed from JDM (Japanese Domestic Manufacture) suppliers on EBay.
