Don H. Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 For those who might be curious what parts Charles Runyan and TRF offer for our sidescreen cars, they've just put together a website catalog. http://trf.zeni.net/TR2-TR3GB/?s_wt=1280&s_ht=1024 Note there are saveable pdf links at the bottom of that landing page (with illustrations and part number references but not current pricing).

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Nice step forward. As a catalogue writer, I still prefer the final printed copy - call me old fashioned.... Peter W PS I see they have a reproduction of the very smart AMCO gearknob with threaded insert, I have a real AMCO knob on my car from the days when C&B were the UK/Europe importers of AMCO product. http://the-roadster-factory.com/Images/tempphotos/Walnut-gearshift-knobs.html They also have a trim sale going on.

Links half way down this page http://the-roadster-factory.com/indexmain.php Charles started the gearstick knob project in 2015. At the time he was getting the insert made in Birmingham, UK. Who knew they had a jewelry quarter.. The resident woodworker turns the knob. These wooden gear knobs are not my cup of tea but they look nice for the folks that want a good repro period piece. There is something else I am excited about tonight. When I came into The Roadster Factory this evening, I found a package that had been left for me. Quite small, but it held the first one-hundred Triumph gearshift knob badges that had been manufactured for me recently in the jewelry quarter of Birmingham. They look really nice, very much like the old AMCO originals. Actually, quite identical. I will have Karen Border post a photo of the badge and the other components that we will soon be putting together into gearshift knobs. We had the threaded inserts made in aluminium as original in both thread-types earlier, and we invested in a “duplicator” that Wood Chuck Findley will use to turn the knobs on a lathe. He has been practicing, and he showed me some of his first attempts yesterday. We have all of the components now, and we will have completed knobs in a couple of weeks. I will take photos along the way and let you know how everything turns out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
