I'm sure many of you are like me, in that over a 50 year obsession with Tri=
umphs, I have accumulated a lot of bits and pieces.=C2=A0 When I was racing=
, I was given a couple of old TR-3's and bought a few more for $50 each (or=
 less).=C2=A0 I parted out 6 or 7 cars, and kept anything that looked like =
it might be useful some day.=C2=A0 With that in mind, I'm hoping someone mi=
ght have the piece I am looking for, or know someone who does.
When I completed the restoration on my TR-2 twenty-seven years ago, I tried=
 to keep it very original.=C2=A0 I used the original (long) starter, which =
was used on all TR-2's and 3's up to chassis number 50,000.=C2=A0 This star=
ter has always worked well for me.=C2=A0 As I was cleaning out and organizi=
ng some of my old parts, I came across one of these early starters, and dec=
ided to get it rebuilt so my daughter, who now has the TR-2, would have a s=
pare on the shelf if she ever needs it.=C2=A0 The local electric shop took =
it apart and checked all of the components, and everything checked out all =
right, except for an item called the pinion, which of course is no longer a=
vailable.=C2=A0 The pinion rides on the shaft coming our of the main starte=
r body and includes the gear which engages the flywheel.=C2=A0 The Moss par=
t number is 549-600, and the Triumph factory part number is 501030.
If anyone has this part, in a box of old starter parts, that they would be =
willing to sell, please let me know.=C2=A0 I figured they made at least 50,=
000 of these things (plus any for service), so there should still be a few =
laying around somewhere.=C2=A0 I'm hoping one of you can help me find one.
Thanks in advance for your help.
