I was racing in SCCA all during the 60's and early 70's and never saw a GCR
that allowed tube shocks on the TR-3,4,250 0r TR 6. BUT, there should have been
as I tried to homologate them and they refused. I did all the homologation from
1963 thru 1972 for Triumph and the tube shocks were never on the allowed list
nor in the FREE parts sections..

If you built your car to that GCR "year' and could prove it, CVAR would allow
it without points deduction. You just can't mix and match different allowable
specs from various GCR years to cherry pick what you want. CVAR allows SCCA
prepared cars up to 1972 GCR, with that year as the default if you don't have
the appropriate year GCR..

No. However, TR4's were allowed rear tube shock conversions in one of the
early SCCA GCR's (1961?), so with that in hand, I never had an issue when I
presented my TR4 with tube shock conversion for tech inspections (thanks to
Bill Dentinger for mentoring me on that).
I've had a TR250 since new and in all that time, I've had to replace one

I don't think so. I never had to replace any in my TR6, also purchased new,
for leaking.
