Thanks to Rimmers and a TVR specialist all the required parts have been sourced and fitted, though the gear change is now very stiff. I’ve resisted the temptation of taking to the balls with some abrasive and just ed greased everything well and hope a few miles will ease matters. The longest wait was for some P clips to secure the handbrake cable - the originals were plastic and two of the four were broken - now all brass. As soon as it stops raining I’ll give it a run out.
