Alec Pringle Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Sorting through my accumulations of Wedgie parts I came a cross a couple of long misplaced TR6 nos items lurking on the transmission shelves . . . . . I wondered where they'd got to ! These are parts inherited from the late Dave Lightning Brown, but whence they originally came I know not - Revingtons or Racetorations possibly, or maybe Tony Lindsey-Dean ? They must date back to the 1990s I'd reckon, given that the anonymous packaging looked old a dozen years ago ! As to whether that makes them any better or worse than current offerings, your guess is as good as mine . . . . I'm not offering these to the whole wide world via the main website, we'll see if any Forumite would like them . . . . First off, what looks to me like a bog standard UKC662 17 tooth laygear, as fitted to later TR6 - 1973 onwards I think, although plenty of older cars by now are utilising later internals I suppose. Just the bare laygear, no bearings or shaft or ancillaries. Second off is an 'uprated' UKC662 laygear, and layshaft, as in fitted with a trio of open cage bearings rather than just the two. You can see the internal difference in the photos, doubled up bearings at the gear end. This is the laygear itself, the three bearings, and the layshaft - no ancillaries, washers, circlips or whatever. Current price of a standard UKC662 seems to be £170 upwards, depending which specialist you're looking at . . . . so how does £110 + postage sound ? As for the uprated assembly including shaft, prices seem to be anything from £225 to upwards of £300 depending on whose version you choose. I'd have thought £160 + postage might be about right ? If you're interested, by all means send me a PM, or email or ring if you know my contact details ! Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alec Pringle Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 The uprated assembly seems now to be spoken for . . . . . subject to contract, as an estate agent might put it ! Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
