sarajitTR6 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 As I get into the bowels of my TR, I can see many of the components have reached the end of their serviceable life. Any suggestions how one can go about identifying genuine OE parts manufacturers or quality alternatives. I have avoided repros in my Jags unless i didnt have a choice. They always fail. Ive trawled through the Williams book but specifically looking for info on OE - clutch and brake master cylinders, slave, release bearing, wheel cylinders, front stub axles, wheel bearings Timken?, engine mountings. Sources to explore for NOS would help. Thanks. Sarajit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rien Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hello, My opinion? search for the internet and look for Stanpart labels, boxes and partnumbers, all repro parts are rubbish and for the stub axle's go to Richard Good from goodparts, I have used both versions he deliver with perfect results.

cmdr19 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 OE panels and other hardware yes. But for items that have rubber seals and so on, is it a good idea to have things that have been stored for 35+ years? I always believed that they start the perishing process from the day they're moulded. Mikr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sarajitTR6 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 You are absolutel correct. The rubber perishes/hardens. What I do is use the OE housing and change the seals with a good quality repair kit. Its cheap to change the seals as long as the bore/piston is good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rien Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yes absolutely right for the rubber parts and seals, modern seals are are perfect, by example Chicago Rawhide nr.: CR 15207 for the diff pinion or CR19970 for the timing cover. Rien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
