The Triumph Roadster’s gearbox is crucial for smooth, responsive driving. Worn synchronizers, clutch wear, or fluid leaks can affect performance. We provide complete transmission rebuilds, clutch replacements, and differential servicing, ensuring seamless gear engagement and long-term reliability.
Classic Roadster electrical systems are prone to aging issues. At Smyth Imports, we perform full diagnostics, wiring repairs, alternator and starter restoration, and lighting system service. Modern upgrades, such as solid-state voltage regulators or improved fuse blocks, can be installed discreetly to enhance reliability without compromising authenticity.
Reliable braking is essential for both safety and driving enjoyment in the Roadster. We rebuild calipers, replace master and wheel cylinders, service drums and rotors, and upgrade lines where needed. Each service restores proper pedal feel and optimal stopping performance.
The Roadster’s inline-four engine delivers lively performance that requires careful maintenance. Smyth Imports offers complete engine rebuilds, including machining, balancing, carburetor tuning, and ignition optimization. We correct leaks, restore compression, and fine-tune fuel delivery and timing to maintain smooth, reliable operation while preserving historical accuracy.
The Roadster’s clean lines and refined styling demand meticulous attention. We repair rust, restore panels, and perform full paint refinishes using period-correct colors. Chrome trim, badges, and fittings are carefully restored to maintain authenticity and value.
The Roadster’s suspension and steering systems define its handling. We rebuild front and rear suspension components, replace worn bushings and shocks, and perform precision alignments. Steering repairs address play, stiffness, or vibration, restoring the precise, connected feel that makes the Roadster so rewarding to drive.
