Bill,

Moss sells the special mandrell.  It really could be made by a local machine
shop, theirs is made of nylon.  I bought one for my TR-3 rebuild this winter.
 If you promise to send it back when you are finished I will send you mine; I
won't be needing it for a while.
At $30 or so, I would suggest replacing the aluminum seal pieces, just for
insurance.  People on the list have said good things about Moss' rear seal
"modernising" kit.  It replaces the magic scroll with a rubber seal.  I
didn't have the guts to permanently alter my crank so I could install it, and
it costs almost $100.
Let me know,

Jim Harroun
