Hi Tony,
Glad to hear the PI conversion is going well. I've just finished rebuilding
a metering unit I picked up (I picked up a complete PI system this weekend
for $NZ30 or about $US15!!).
There is a casting standout on the side of the block. I think it is
separate from the engine mounting point but off the top of my head I can't
remember. This is the same casting point used by the saloon cars to mount
the power steering pump. I believe this casting was common to all Triumph 6
cyl block (incl GT6, Vitesse etc. There should be a couple of holes there
to wind in two studs.
Many of the saloon cars have actually lost this bracket and the plenum
chamber is held on solely by the rubber pipes to the throttle bodies.
I'll try and dig out a photo of my car this evening if you like.
Cheers
Bernard
'71 PI (no reverse gear!)
'73 TR6PI (hope it passes the MOT, cos I can't get the PI out of the drive!!)
