Hi All

I am after a new handbrake grip, as mine seems to have molted as the weather turned chill...

Is this the one, does anyone know? It is not listed as a part for an S Series, but it looks about right. I hope...!

Link not working for me, got the part number?


P.S. did it molt or melt? Neither are usually associated with cold weather scratchchin

I shall phone them, see if they can do a deal in the postage. I think £8 is excessive...!

And it has molted. It was pretty worn before, but after finally getting it back in the road I used the handbrake and most of the gloss finish remained stuck to my hand!

How desperate are you for it?

I need a couple so am happy to collect three when I pop in and Royal Mail it to you. May not be for a few weeks though.

No hurry at all - if you wouldn't mind doing that, that would be much appreciated; thanks. I can paypal the appropriate number of shiny pennies your way!

No problems - it is just the rubber grip though, yes?

They had not located them. They do have stock but don't know where it is.

They are moving at the end of March to new 'temporary' premises so whether they turn up by then ?????

Thanks for trying anyway...!

I must say, I have only dealt with TVR parts a couple of times, but on both occasions they have been absolute rubbish. Others may have had a different experience, and I've been unlucky, but so far they have displayed an utter lack of knowledge allied to a vague confusion about where such worldly things as 'spare parts' might be found.

Thank you very much for trying Stewart.

I'll cross my fingers that they turn up.

I may chase them up as I'll be passing by again in the next couple of weeks. If I remember.
