Eric,
I didn't pickup the Atlanta part of your first message as a result I
don't have your e-mail. Give me an e-mail directly at Jon@Fry.net and
I can give you some info regarding the local Triumph club. You can
also visit the web site at www.gatriumph.com. I purchased my '69 on
e-bay about a year ago.
Welcome and hope to hear from you.

Congratulations Eric,
I'm impressed that you would undertake such a trip with a newly
purchased
31 year old car.
As there is no adjustment of the TR6 clutch, your first order of
business
will be to pull the trans and set things right. My guess would be that
the
hydraulic pipe from the clutch master to the slave is probably
original and
needs to be renewed- along with the rest of the usual bits- clutch
disk,
pressure plate and release bearing. Also, if you are going to the
trouble
of putting it right, you might wish to also renew the bushings in the
pedal
box and perhaps look to renew the clutch slave push-rod also.
Again, congrats for an excellent choice in a car and welcome to the
list.
