Does anyone have any information on reliable rebuild engineers or where to buy a reconditioned diff by any chance? Mine has locked up, I suspect a thrown cog somewhere

Hi Mark. I don't have any experience in this, but the people over at the TR-Register think highly of Pete Cox & Son in Redditch. This is Pete Cox as in Cox & Buckles which is now called Moss. There's also Mike Papworth who is well regarded by the TSSC folk and also by Picton Sportscars. He supplied a mainshaft for my Spit gearbox at short notice, which Picton's rebuilt in time for my wedding (signature photo). Mike's in Coventry - no web site but here's his Facebook link. Whilst they are well liked by others I have no personal experience of these people's rebuild work - and no financial interest either. Hope this might be some help. Cheers, Richard

Luckily I had a complete brand new back axle in the club stock, which Mark purchased and he says it works perfectly & his car is now back up & running.

Thanks all. Yes, Pete supplied me with a new one ex RAF and all is now good. While it was off I took the opportunity to re-temper the rear springs so the back end is now tip top!

Mine has locked up, I suspect a thrown cog somewhere Hi There’s a family run engineering business on the Wirral (north west England) who specialise in transmission and differential work. They come highly recommended by everybody who has used them including myself. Please let me know if want their details. Regards Frank

For reliable rebuild engineers or reconditioned differentials, consider asking for recommendations from automotive forums, local mechanics, or specialty parts shops in your area.

consider asking for recommendations from automotive forums, Great idea! I wonder why the OP didn't think of that?

If you're looking for reliable rebuild engineers or where to buy a reconditioned differential (diff) for your vehicle, consider the following options:
Local Mechanics and Auto Shops: Start by contacting local mechanics or auto repair shops in your area. They may have recommendations for reliable rebuild engineers or sources for reconditioned differentials.
Online Auto Forums: Online automotive forums and communities can be valuable resources for finding recommendations and advice from fellow car enthusiasts who have faced similar issues. Websites like Reddit's r/cars or specific forums dedicated to your car's make and model can be helpful.
Specialized Auto Parts Retailers: Some auto parts retailers specialize in rebuilt or reconditioned components, including differentials. They may have options available or can provide guidance on where to find one.
Online Auto Parts Retailers: Many online auto parts retailers offer rebuilt or reconditioned differentials for a wide range of vehicle makes and models. Be sure to research and read reviews to ensure you're purchasing from a reputable source.
Local Machine Shops: Local machine shops with expertise in drivetrain components may offer rebuilding services for your differential.
When selecting a rebuild engineer or source for a reconditioned differential, it's crucial to verify their reputation, experience, and warranty terms to ensure the quality of the work or product. Additionally, it may be beneficial to have a qualified mechanic inspect your vehicle to confirm the issue with the differential before proceeding with any repairs or replacements.

It sounds like you had a fortunate solution on hand with a brand new back axle in the club's stock. It's excellent to hear that Mark purchased it and that it worked perfectly, getting his car back up and running smoothly. Having spare parts available can be a lifesaver in situations like this.
