I'm looking for pretty much all seals from front to back.
Gearbox I believe is the SD1 LT77 which I can get seals for but also looking for final drive out of box seals (if it doesn't come with the box kit), diff seals and drive shaft seals but I can't find them. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks
Colin

That mentions the T5 box and BTR diff where I have the SD1 and GKN diff. I'm guessing he knows both, but does he sell the seals or are you saying he would be able to point me in the right direction ?

Out of interest, where was the diff sourced from or was it built for TVR ?

Just found this and even though I don't think I'd try it myself it might be useful to someone else searching this.

That was one of johns jobs at the factory. He's forgotten more about TVR than most of us will ever know !!!
Phoned but unfortunately nobody answered so I emailed and got this.

Hi Colin

The SDI parts you can purchase off Ebay but the seal & parts for the GKN are dealer only, I do-not sell I only supply to my customers repairs..

John Reid

The search continues frown

Right, the search so far......
I now have all seals and gaskets for both gearbox and diff except the main diff body gasket marked in this picture with the letter A next to it.



Any help and or ideas are more than welcome.

Thank you all that have helped so far.

It's been a huge help do far, thanks Spend and I think silicon is the way to go here then.
Is there a special type or brand used ?
