For solving the clutch throw-out bearing problem in TR2-6, you
might want to talk to Herman Van den Akker ... he has developed a
hydraulic throw-out bearing that actually works, his earlier ones
sometimes blew the O-ring, but the new ones are much, much better
and he has been designing them to work with Triumph transmissions
as well as the Toyota conversion.
I have one in my TR3 and it works great, this winter there will be
one in our TR6 to replace the left leg muscle builder currently on
board ...
