As Bob Lang correctly pointed out, the bushing is inserted into the rear of the flywheel, not the rear of the crank.The bushing that came with the LUK kit fits perfectly into the back of my Fidanza flywheel. My ignorance comes from having worked on American cars (a '68 Camaro and others) and experiencing the joy of removing a pilot bearing stuck in the rear of the crank. Thus, I assumed the pilot bushing on the TR6 needed to be inserted in the rear of the crank as well, but as most of you know, that opening is considerably smaller than the diameter of the stock bushing. This mistake took me down the rabbit hole of wrong assumptions and led me to order a bushing for a Triumph Spitfire/GT6 and other models because those bushings would fit into the rear of my TR6 crank. Despite all rational logic and reasoning, I was convinced that I was right and just happened to have an oddball TR6. All I had to do was look at page 111 in Bentley'smanual. It's amazing how one can be so certain and yet so wrong. My ignorance notwithstanding, thank you all who replied - especially Bob Lang and Dick Taylor - for taking the time to help another TR6 guy. I owe you all. Bob Fabie Fredericksburg, VA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
