TR6 original stanpart trunnion identification


Recommended Posts

I've done the usual silly bugger thing of buying something off ebay, not opening it for 6 months, and then finding that I'm a little suspicious about whether it is what the listing claimed it was (you'd think I'd learn.....).

 

I bought a vertical link and trunnion which was listed as new (which they are) and original (which I don't think they are). Were stanpart trunnions marked as such? The only marking this has is "SCP RH". Also, the bottom cap isn't brass, which I thought the originals were. What annoys me is that without being able to ID it I wont be able to ensure that I've got a matching part (repro or original) on the other side. Grrrr.

Non originals almost certainly. The Stanpart originals had 2221 and 2222 on them and the later type ,still BL just had LH and RH stamped on them.

Specialist Car Products - They are near Gatwick. A very good UK reproduction company who worked to orig drawings, Hence their British Motor Heritage Approval. Makes the wire wheel adaptors too. See web page. http://www.scp-uk.com

 

The last I recall of OE genuine were ex Reliant (Scimitar SE5A type, same as TR4A-6) which Elite Suspensions (Coventry) were providing. They also offered the genuine V posts and lower wishbones. (All Reliant again)
