[TR] Rear hub rebuild needed

[Alain]

According to TRF's recent TR4 mini-catalogue, TRF has stepped up the pace of
their rebuild work, hiring Tom Spadafora on full-time since 2006, see
below.  You might want to contact Tom @ TRF to get a time estimate for
rebuilding your rear hub units.

NFI,

Alain

"TRF's rebuild shop works on: "engines, gearboxes, rear axles, IRS rear
hubs, steering racks, carburettors, and brake calipers.  Since autumn 2006,
TRF's rebuild shop, known as  C.A.R components, has been run by Tom
Spadafora.  Tom Spadafora ran his own garage for many years, and joined TRF
staff because he is committed to high-quality work, and he likes to work
hard.  When Tom joined TRF, we had a huge backlog of units for rebuilding
and Tom worked through this backlog during the winter months.  He now
completes small units such as brake calipers and carburettors in a very
short amount of time after they have been received here, and  larger units
proceed in a more systematic manner.


Please note that units for rebuilding are becoming harder to acquire, and we
now prefer to rebuild a customer's old units rather than offering units in
exchange.  C.A.R. Components exists to provide enthusiasts with a place to
send components for rebuilding which they do not have the knowledge or skill
to complete at home.  It is the continuing goal of C.A.R. Components to
provide very high quality service at reasonable prices."
