FRONT SUSPENSION TO CHASSIS MOUNTINGS, TR250, TR6
"Upgrade Your Chassis Frame to Provide Better Support"
Whether you are undertaking a frame-up rebuild or just a front suspension overhaul,
you will want to carefully check the chassis frame brackets to which the suspension is
mounted. Often these are in a bad way, particularly on earlier models. Later TR6
models generally fair better, as additional gussets were added to reinforce the main
brackets after comm. no. CF1 at the beginning of 1973. On all of the cars that I have
built, I have replaced all four of the main brackets and then reinforced them with the
late TR6 gusset kit. You will need an experienced welder or a frame shop to perform
this work. An additional trick suggested by Mr. Kastner in his TR250 and TR6
competition preparation manual is a square plate with four holes mounted inside the
main brackets and attached with the same hardware which mounts the front suspension
pivot brackets. The pivot brackets and alignment shims are also listed in this section.
