Michael,

When I did mine I had to source parts from all three of the big 
suppliers.  Neither Moss, TRF or Vicky Brit had everything that I 
needed but they all had some.  Do you plan on doing your repair with 
the body removed?  On the triumph owners site I have somewhat 
documented the process that was done on my car to repair and box in the 
mounts.  Check it out if you are interested.  Also, the boxing plates 
can be purchased but it would be cheaper to have them made locally most 
likely.  I have a template I can send you if you are interested.

  Listers:

My passenger-side front diff pin is gradually working loose in the 
classic
failure mode.  I need to get the pins boxed in properly.  My plan is  
to
purchase one of the available reinforcement kits and have a 
professional weld
the
pieces in place.  I'll probably take the opportunity to replace the  
exhaust
system at that time.

Any advantages/disadvantages of the kits from any of the major  
suppliers?
Does one come with better directions/diagrams?  I know  some listers 
have
fabricated their own reinforcement pieces, but I would rather  purchase 
a kit
that
is ready to use.

Thanks.
