Hello. As the title says I am new here, and also new to the "forum" thing, so am a bit confused right now. I'll pick it up soon, though.
I am just starting to really get into the glorious and frustrating business of personally maintaining the 1959 TR-3A I've had for 10 years. It has always run well and I've had precious little reason to work on it. No longer: the differential is apparently shot. I can do basic mechanical repairs, but rebuilding a differential is beyond me -- and a guy at Moss just told me that I need to find a shop that is specially set up to do differentials. He also said that it would be cheaper to rebuild it with new parts than try to replace the whole thing. I tend to favor that as well, as I have misgivings about replacing it with an old assembly that may just break on me pretty soon down the road.
QUESTION FOR ANYONE: Do you know of a reliable place, in or close to San Francisco, that could rebuild my differential? Any suggestions or comments are much appreciated.
Thanks. Talon
