Still need diff bearings - any more sources?
Discussion
Some of you may remember that I have had rotten luck at the end of last year getting hold of the outer driveshaft bearings for my GKN diff... It's still happening.
I was pointed in the direction of Dave Porter, and he said that he would send me some before Christmas, but the Royal mail managed to lose them somewhere between Leicster and the Isle of Wight. We agreed to not post any more given that I could easily collect a set off him in person sometime over the xmas holidays, but I have had no success contacting him since just before Christmas so no meeting could be arranged. Hope you're OK Dave!
I still have no working TVR, which is not at all desired and in the absence of Dave P, who else might be able to supply these bearings? Preferably without wanting £90 a bearing and a 6 week delivery schedule... But anything would be considered at the moment since the Griff is now in my way.
Thanks.

I wonder if you tried approaching a few Maserati independents or posting on Maserati enthusiast websites. I’m guessing that the problem must common to them and maybe they know the solution.
If it helps, there’s a Maserati dealer near me. I will pop in and enquire if you once I know exactly which bit you need and which model(s) it fitted. I think it was the BiTurbo, but not sure about any others.
Does anyone know exactly which Maserati models they fitted this diff to? I’m surprised that TVR would pick a diff used only by a maker like Maserati. Where these diff’s fitted to anything else?
I've emailed you a copy of the manual.
