TR2/3/3A help needed

You might also mention which way you are heading in case there is no one in San Antonio to help.

You can, of course, start and drive w/o the benefit of a clutch. Not something I care to do in city traffic (though I have) but a practical alternative for interstate travel where you can drive hours w/o having to shift.

If a rebuild of your old M/C would work - then almost any Girling .75 seal will work (TR, Jaguar, others) - I mention that in case there is a BAP auto parts or something similar where you are now.

There appears to be 3 BAP/Geon parts stores in Houston in case that is useful (none shown for San Antonio):

Store 21 3403 Gulf Freeway Houston TX 77003 713-227-1544
Store 22 6423 Richmond Ave. Houston TX 77057 713-783-5122
Store 23 5900 North Freeway #106C Houston TX 77076 713-695-0315

Kerrville is only an hour north of San Antonio. VTR will be held there 4-22 thru 4-25. Maybe you'll be forced to wait and hope MOSS or TRF brings one along -or someone has a spare. If you do happen thru Houston, I'm only a few miles off I-10 near the middle beltway (8-Sam Houston), I'd be happy to help, but I don't have a spare MC.

I have a feeling you have a bigger story than 'desperately' fully describes.

I wish you better luck.

Russ if you are still in need, try the South Texas Triumph club in San Antonio - from their website, Kent Kinard is president and lists his number as 210 859 9272

Tried to text you myself but not sure it went through, I have a spare, but in Houston area like Jerry.

Thanks for your advice and offers. I've had a good vacation inspite of my clutch problems. Back in Florida, nearly home. I've started a new thread addressing the clutch (hydraulic) problems.
