Elin - glad to see that customers are steadily coming to you for repairs to their Triumphs. It looks like you have a full time job right there in your own garage. I assume you are not working at the Stretched Limousine location any longer.
I sincerely hope that you will continue to be busy with (lucky) paying customers going forward. You are definitely a major resource to those lucky enough to live near you
pig of a job, I remember doing the same on mine many years ago, laying on my back in the road it wasn't successful and sold it soon after. I toyed with the idea of cutting an access panel behind the seats but never did. great job Elin doubt he will be back.
Nice to see another video. As to the mounts: would it not be easier to put all the pieces on, tack them together, take it out, weld it all together on the table, and then weld it into the frame? Either way, it looks a lot stronger than the original design. Just save yourself from having to weld so much up side down. Do you also use Ospho to treat the metal?
I'm tackling this job right now, with the additional need to remove the gas tank because I smell fumes while working underneath. Will drain it, remove it, and make sure everything is clean and scentless before cutting out the old mounts. Might try to find a mobile welder - even though I have arc and gas, I'm not an 'upside down and blind' welder like you!
You'll need a lift soon when you do projects like that. When I work under a car for hours, I always feel like I've been run over by that car the next day 🤣🤣
Looking at what you did (which is remarkable), would you pre-build those boxes, then weld the box to the frame and bolt stud, to just weld the pre-assembled box, reducing and keeping the box square to the frame? I do like what you provided to see how to work with such a complicated area. Thanks.
Looks like the factory frame was questionable from Day 1. Difficult repair to perform without taking off the body. Bet there are lots of other places where the frame is worn out. You will see a lot of this car in the future. Thanks for sharing the video.
Nice fix but you should probably say a bit more about which kit you used and what the other alternatives you have used or found ? Great that these cars now are staying on the road and getting used !
Upside down welding without seeing, no problem for Elin. Well done.
Very nice job and yes that is not a nice place to have to work, but it looks pretty darn good.

great job Elin! The customer is very lucky to get someone like you to work on his car. Most people would have bodged this repair for sure.
I just completed this repair last week! I love your videos Elin.
Nice repair. It’s hard working upside down with all that cutting and welding.

Great result in such a difficult area to access. Thanks for taking us down there, I had me safety specs on!! Well done!!
Good luck from Spain!!
I know the owner of that TR6, he can’t wait to get it back on the road next spring 😊
Well done elin looks solid
Excellent video. Very useful! Thank you

I had the same problem. I like the repair kit.
Lol...I just bought a needle gun last week.
That's how I found a 3rd and 4th hole in my Tundra frame 😊😩
Great work if you were in the states you wouldn’t have a day off.
Nice job.
Mine always struggled with it 😞😞😞😞🇫🇷

He mentioned at the beginning of the video that The Roadster Factory (TRF) produced the installed kit.
