[karl andrews]

Hi it says in the manual headstocck tool T3880620 48mm to be used my question is service tool listed T3880023 50mm what would this be used for ? when searching on E bay both tools listed as head stock tool ?

Hi karl - Good spot !

The Service Manual calls for T3880620 - Described in the Parts listing as as "Socket 48mm",
and in the Service Manual as "Adjuster Socket, 48mm", for the Castellated Lock Nut
and the Adjuster Nut, when adjusting the Trophy Headstock Bearings.

The same tool is also called for in the Service Manual,
for the Rear Bevel Box right hand pivot pin locking ring.

T3880023 (50mm ) is, as you say, listed as a Service Tool for the Trophy
but I haven't ( yet ? ) found any reference to it within the Service Manual.

T3880023 is listed as a Headstock Bearing Adjuster socket for other Triumph Models,
and I found one reference from someone that ordered one for their Tiger 1050
only to find it was the wrong tool - incorrectly listed !

It is possible that T3880023 should not be listed as a Service Tool for the Trophy.

Thanks coconut for the speedy reply I ordered the tool and then looking in the workshop manual was confused to why a 50mm listed .

when I did internet search they both listed for Triumph trophy 1215 Se
I feel an e mail to triumph Technical coming on later today  they are going to love me

Good idea - ask them what the 50mm socket is used for ?

HaHaHa Karl!
I am on a first name basis with some of the folks at Triumph USA. Actually, I think they enjoy working with people that take a real advantage interest in their Triumph.

I'm keeping an eye on this thread to find out the correct answer too,....sure wouldn't want to spend time making one of these to find out that it's the wrong size.

The tool T3880023 is a general tool used across the range, and appears on the list because it is part of the special tool boards we provide the dealers, and so will appear as such in the manuals, though sometimes a particular tool might not be used on that model.
All the manuals and special tools are intended for use in the dealership workshops, but are available for purchase by the general public.

Hope this information helps everybody
