Art Lipp in the USA makes and sells steering column bushes made from Delrin, for the TR4, so this could be a materiel option. Graham

A genuine new RHP clutch bearing for diaphragm clutches. Bought in error as my early 4 has the earlier B&B clutch. £85.00 to include postage.

There are only four gears plus reverse in my gearbox.

Easy answer to steering column bushes, use a set of Delrin ones produced by Art Lipp in the USA. Put them in my 4A ten years ago, simple long term solution. No need to remove old bushes. Graham

Roger, Thanks for your offer but once I have the dimensions I was going to turn them up on my Myford. Regards Graham

Stuart, I have contacted David and he is unable to help. Peter, Thanks for your suggestion but I want to do a proper job, not a “ bodge”, no disrespect . Roger, Unfortunately the car is garaged twenty miles from my home and I will be unable to carry out the measurements until next week. Graham

Gentlemen, I have started the rebuild of my early TR4 andI am now starting the top front suspension arms. I am missing the two steel bushes that are fitted to the upper ball joints, part number 19 in the attached scan from Rimmer’s website. Has anyone got a couple of them that they would part with or have their dimensions so that I can turn them up please? Thanks Graham

Gentlemen, I sought advice on the Forum on the type of clutch bearing I needed to purchase as part of my restoration of an early TR4. The advice was that I needed to buy a bearing reference 14/W 2. 1/16 RHP. I was anxious that I fitted a good reliable bearing, particularly as I had read about the poor quality ones that are available from some TR suppliers. I managed to obtain a new original bearing manufactured by RHP. I took it with me when I went to collect my gearbox from Tom Cox only to be told it was for the later diaphragm clutch and could not be used without have some machine

Gentlemen, I took a trip this morning to Moss in Bristol to buy some parts for my TR4 restoration. There were notices on the walls and counter that as from today they are closing all their branches, other than London, for counter and collection purposes. In future the staff at these branches will become telephone sales. Graham

Gentlemen, I have this week got my chassis back from painting and planned to start rebuilding the front suspension. The wishbones, both upper and lower have also come back from painting and the identification labels I had fitted had been removed and not replaced. The Rimmer’s catalogue shows that neither of the upper or lower wishbones are identical, I therefore assume that they are handed. Here is an image from their catalogue of the upper wishbones. Could someone please tell me how to identify which wishbone arm goes where for both top and bottom? Thanks Graham

Hi Roger, Could you make one for me as well please? Graham

Thanks for the pictures. Graham

Can someone please give me the RHP bearing number? Thanks Graham

Hi Roger, Are these any good? https://www.powertoolsdirect.com/clarke-pd3-115mm-plasma-metal-cutting-discs-single Graham

Hi Stuart, I have checked the part numbers on each cable and they are the ones shown by Rimmers as being for a TR4. Graham
