    Hello all,

    Just joined the forum. I am starting a rebuild of a total basket case 6T and would like some assistance now and then with best "old Triumph" parts suppliers these days. I did a total rebuild of a 69 Tiger a little over 10 years ago and was well supported by Hawkshaw motorcycles for spares. Hoping to have the same success with the Thunderbird!

    Hi Pollypj
    Welcome in
    I have a 6t that I’m eventually going to get round to so will be really interested in this.
    Can you post this in the builds and projects thread or it’ll get lost in the newbies section.
    Cheers

    Hello PollyPJ and welcome to the forum :)

    The last Thunderbird (6Tc) engined bike I had was way back in 1967, it powered my Triton :heart:

    Good luck with the rebuild.

    Welcome to the madhouse you should fit right in. To keep the inmates happy we will need photos.
