Tachometer needle broke of
Rubber bushings in front end which the headlight bracket attaches to has deteriorated (next on the list to replace)
Chrome on headers has cooked away
Chrome on mirrors is bubbling up
Alloy wheels are a PITA to polish (why didn't they chrome plate them like every other manufacturer?)
Original Triumph windscreen stress cracked and had to replace with a Memphis Shades unit
On my 3rd set of tires (Metzlers have turned out to be the best)
Replaced the chain 3x
May I ask what VIN# (last six digits) are as I have a 1996 T-Bird as well and the sprag clutch (which works fine yet) issue is lurking in the back on my mind.
