TR4A Gearbox Rebuild with Mike Papworth

[TR4A1965]

After all the Christmas fun and excitement choosing a colour for my TR4A I thought I would share this with you.

 

I had my gearbox and diff rebuilt by Mike Papworth.

 

Mike is pretty well known in Triumph Circles and his work is of superb quality.

 

I shot a small video of Mike talking about his TR and Rebuilding TR Gearboxs and Overdrives.

 

It also has a sneaky look in his sea container of TR diffs, axels, overdrives and gearboxes.

 

A rare look at a guy who has spent a life working at the oily end of our cars.

 

He's a great source if you need anything.

 

Video is here.

This is my last post before Christmas so best wishes of the season to you all and the very best for 2014.

 

 

Paul.

Just one of several approaches Neil, all of them TRaditional cat skinners' techniques . . . .

 

Great things about TRs, there are usually several ways of approaching any problem !

 

Cheers
