Nooooooooo, i`ve ordered the bits from Fowlers, always used them for my previous Yamaha`s i rebuilt, always a good quick service from them, up until now.  :lol:

And thanks all for the info/pics.

Need a few measurements please.

What thickness and width metal do i need to make up the tab, and what size drillbit for the hole?

Cheers Chaps.  :)

Nooooooooo, i`ve ordered the bits from Fowlers, .......

Normally with Webbs (well Lincoln anyway) they can check if the part is in stock at Triumph, if it is and if they get the order in before 11 a.m. it gets to the the following day....small bits and pieces I've had posted to me if I'm not goign to be over that way...  not used the Peterborough branch although I think t'other half got my christmas present from there!

Used Webbs for getting my YZF750 and Thunderace bits,always a good service.
Will have to try them next time for the Tiger.

To be accurate, the guy in the parts dept at Webbs Peterboro' is really good and very helpful.  It's the workshops lot I don't have any faith in.

Too right, not many dealer workshops round here i`d trust either.

Only good service i ever got was from the small bike shop in Ramsey, rebuilt an old XJ650 engine, although that was about 20 years ago.  :lol:

I used to drive for Cade Bros, next door to his workshop, so used to call in quite a lot.

[rf9rider]

Good news.
All my bits i ordered arrived today.  :D

Guess what i`m doing today.  :lol:

Just need the measurement between the 2 lines, from edge of square down tube to cente hole of the tab, just to get an approx idea where to drill the mount hole.

Cheers Chaps.  :)

you could use the new rub block bracket as a guide or I will see if I can get the info you need off of one of my steamers later today I need to take tigger 2's footpeg and cover off anyway to do a little modifying

if you are not in a big hurry I should have the info you need later tonite ........  8)

Thanks Mustang.
I`ve started work on a new bracket, should be done later, then when its mounted, i can drill the hole for the block.
Stripped the back end off again, cleaned it up and found no trace of the old bracket.



At least i got the new strip rub fitted.





I`ll put some pics up of the bracket when its fifnished, see what you think.

Just need a rough idea where to drill the mounting hole, don`t want it too high or the block will wear out too quickly, or too low and wear the swing arm!  :shock:
