Adam,
You forgot to type the moral....dying to hear.
What you encountered is the very reason Vicky Brit is my supplier of last
resort (i.e. I would almost rather push my TR6 than buy a part from Vicky Brit
to repair it). I've been aggravated one too many times by their customer
no-service department. I've been to their showroom to pick up parts a time or
two. Its almost like going to Auto Zone to buy TR parts. The greasy haired 7
ear-ringed dope with a bolt through his lip behind the counter barely knows
what a Triumph is.

Subject: Victoria British Clutch rebuild kit
I ordered the Victoria British Clutch rebuild kit for my 73 TR6. When
I
opened the package, everything looked great. Brand new master
cylinder,
slave, and tubing between the two. I flushed emptied my old unit,
removed
it and proceeded to install the new kit. I started with the master
cylinder; it went it perfectly, as did the hose. Excited at the fact
that I
will be very close to driving my car after two parts come tomorrow, I
dropped down and slid under my car only to find out.. THE DARN THING
DOESN'T
FIT!!!! Apparently the end is now oval and not round, making it just a
little to wide to slide into the mount. Frustrated I called VB, wait
on
hold for 30 minutes only to be told the best they can do is to open a
ticket
to do some research. Not only did they want to charge me a wad to have
a
repair kit sent express, they won't take partial returns on kits! So
basically the moral of the story is.
And to top it off, I can't get my darn oil drain plug off! (Any
ideas???)
