Hi mate...Welcome to the mad world of Wedges....

Boot struts are the same as Ford Capri tailgate which you can buy second hand...Unfortunately I don't have any knocking about...You can buy new from SGS..Under TVR Tasmin.

Not sure what you mean by the seat adjustment wheel?...
Door locking button and rod may be ford escort?...Although the rod could be fabricated..Its fairly simple..
Wheel centres secondhand are like hens teeth...New ones are available but they are not cheap....So if you have a healthy budget than fairly easy to sort...If you have a limited budget then its depending on the goodwill of fellow Wedgers to see if they can help..(Which they do if they can)....I normally can help but I have given most of my spares away...


Hope you sort it...

Yes it's the adjustment for the seat back. I was told the seats were triumph so I have talked to Southern Triumph Spares & they might be able to help me . The rod is still a problem but the button is available I think from tvr parts

might need a bend here or there but shouldn't be beyond the wit of man to make something like this fit

Hi mate


I have found my old 350i bonnet struts which were working when I swapped them over for some stainless ones...

You can put them to use for a small donation to the BBWF charity pot.

Email me if you are interested.
