Welcome to the club, I hope you got it for a good price!

If you are replacing bushes go for the poly bushes, full listing here...

Roll bar clamp should be cortina, cant help with the other bits.

Good luck,

Andy

Welcome.

You should get hold of a copy of the 'bible' (ISBN0953033538) as you will see it referred to here on many occasions.

You should also bookmark this site : www.tvrwedgepages.co.uk/ and check out www.bress.freeserve.co.uk/wedge/maint_parts.html and www.soi.city.ac.uk/~nick/tvr/tas_alt_pts_lst.html for listings of known donor vehicles and part numbers.

Is it the centre console fashia (with the switches) that you need, or the dashboard with the dials in it?

Happy Wedging!

Got my steering shaft reconditioned by RT Racing, cant remember cost, but not expensive. Got a recon rack from Peninsula, which was about £29 + vat.

They are stronger.... Less likley to bend and snap out of position.
