Hello, all. I've been off the Triumphs and Spitfires list for a few months due to a change in email. I've just returned and am delighted to be back!
Now for the business at hand. This afternoon I pulled the diff and rear spring out of my Spitfire. (Considering how much trouble I had pulling it about 18 years ago I was astonished at how easily it came out.) The diff is in serious need of rebuilding or replacement. I'd like avoid spending as much as the main parts vendors are asking for a rebuilt unit. Would any of you have a used diff in decent running shape and not too expensive? I'm in the Boston area. Alternatively I could rebuild what I've got but I've never done it before. I'm open to advice... A second reason for pulling everything apart is that areas of the frame and body underneath need rustproofing, painting, whatever. They're okay now but won't be if I ignore it till next year. All the little nooks and crannies are much more accessible with the rear taken apart. I've been told that Eastwood is a company with good stuff. Don't know what their products are yet, will browse around their wewbsite as soon as I finished writing this email. But I thought I'd ask for suggestions. In the ideal world they'd have something I could spray on without having to scrape everything down to bare metal, prime, then paint. Been there, done that, don't have so much time now, couldn't reach every little nook or cranny to do that anyway. Any thoughts? Been driving the GT6 to work. A coworker brought his red TR6 in last Friday. 'Twas nice to see two red Triumphs in the parking lot. Thanks! Jim Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your messages not reaching the list?
