Cornering? Happens to my TR4 and folks tell me it is normal. Dunno if it
is mormal for TR6.

It's not normal but mine does it. I double - triple checked the tightness
of all the bolts, replaced the wheel bearings all to no avail. One theory
is that the rotors have been turned too thin. Haven't checked that out
yet.
Question: are you running DOT5 fluid?
My TR3 doesn't do it nor does my TR8 (which are both running DOT4).
