Tom:

I used Merryman Modifications, a well respected British car shop.  Their
address is:

2461 Carlisle Pike 
Hanover, PA 17331
717.633.6083

It is about $350 if you send in your bad hub.  The turnaround is about a
week as he uses a jaguar shop in Wisconsin that keeps rebuilt hubs in stock
(which TRF does not).

I was just about ready to get my 75 TR6 back on the road after a long and 
expensive renovation and my Rt rear hub is making noise. The mechanic says
it 
needs new bearings. I believe this is a job left to experts, so I'm looking
for 
recommendations for a rebuilder. I know that TRF rebuilds hubs, but their 
turnaround time on the diff hubs they rebuilt for me was at least 2 months.
I would 
like to get some use out of the car before the snow flies. Any suggestions? 
Should I get both rebuilt? Can the other side be far behind? I don't think
it's 
making noise yet.
