Carlos and everyone with a TR7 or TR8
There is another list much like this one that cators to only these two
cars. You can join through the Wedge site. The address is
www.team.net/TR8/. There was a thread about exactly your problem very
recently. They talked about rebuilding it for about $25 US. I think you
would have better luck on that list. I will forward your request to it for
you now.
