What is the torque values for those bolts?
I'll bet no one knows. Too much and you'll strip the threads. Too loose and
they will loosen up. Without proper torquing the only reliable way to keep
them tight is with lock washers or Loctite(R). Pick your poison.
BTW, after four years the starter on the TR6 has had no such issues. Yet.

What sort of lock washers were used?
For connections with a reputation of coming loose I use Nord-Locks (or a
generic knock-off of same). In one particularly difficult-to-hold location a
combination of Nord-Locks and socket cap screws worked very well.

Over the past 6 month's I have had 3 different Triumph's to have the 2
allen head bolts that hold the Adapter block to the starter motor to come
loose. The first was a friends TR3 starter and then the starter on my TR4 race
car and yesterday the starter on my street TR4. These are Allen head metric
bolts about 2 inches long. Is there an epidemic going around my area? Put these
back in with red loctite. Hope that does it. Getting fast at taking starters
out. Check and see if your's are loose before they fall out.
