Best place for a gearbox, diff, rack & prop o/haul

[FactBV]

I am just having a body-off restoration done on an early Griffith (see link below).

As it is a keeper, I am going to have a refresh of the gearbox (LT77), diff (GKN), rack (TVR manual) and propshaft while they are off the car.

As you guys probably have more experience than most of this type of work, is there one person who comes to mind that has the experience to do all this rather than me sending the items all over the country.

Brian Hosfield was recommended?

Any advice or help with potential service providers would be great.

Thanks

Peter

Hi
I am sure that John Reid at Grantura Engineering will be able to look after you.
John is the ex racing director from TVR and has an engineering company near Blackpool.
He specialises in gearboxes and diffs.

His phone number is 07799117211

Good luck

Thanks John, I will follow that up. Any experience of Brian's work?

To be honest knowing a bloke who finished 3rd twice in the Tuscan championship during it's most competitive years, with the fastest and possibly most reliable car, rather well there is no one I would turn to do work like that other than Brian and Jonathan Greenwood. They work on either side of the same unit and looked after Peter W's car, the one of the chap above and since the Peter sold up, until his passing, were responsible for his toys.

If they were good enough for them (they still look after the other chap's toys) you might think they are quite highly rated...

That's helpful, looks like just the two players; any other thoughts on these two or other options? I will phone around on Monday. Thanks Peter

Brian Horsfield will be looking after my gearbox and diff from now on.

Brian rebuilt my T5 dog box, excellent job, highly recommended.

Brian it is. I spoke to him today and have arranged for all the components to arrive with him on a pallet next week. Thanks for your help. Peter.
