T110 Rebuild

This blog is about the rebuild of my Dads Triumph T110 after being in "boxes" for 39 years!

A visitor

Today I had a visit from a fellow T110 builder from Klerksdorp in South Africa.
I was put in contact with Kelly through his son in Canada who stumbled upon this blog.
It was good to exchange info and compare parts, brackets and mounting points. It is amazing how the parts on these old triumphs are so interchangeable and how over the years you are not always to sure what you are left with is still original.
It was also encouraging to find out Kelly has traced down two other T110s in South Africa which are restored, and he is planning on paying them a visit sometime.
Keep us posted Kelly.
Good meeting you.
:-)

    I also have a T110 which I inherited from my late father. It's been in boxes for ages as well, and I'm keen on getting it restored!
    Please drop me a line so I can get in touch with you (kondogg(at)gmail.com).
    I'm based in Durban.

    Thanks
