Glad to help Brian,
Don't know where you're located but again I prefer US vendors, mostly TRF but 
sometimes one has to go worlwide for what one wants. For instance if I needed 
the whole trunnions rather than just the shafts I would have bought from TRF 
to avoid international shipping and currency exchange charges - and all 
trunnions are probably made by the same manufacturer anyway. The shafts though, 
are 
only made by Neil Revington.
I bought in 2001 when exchange rate was better. I have spoken with Neil 
Revington several times - a real nice fellow - owns one, and maintains another, 
of 
the 2 of 4 original Triumph Factory 'Works' TR4s. His website's beautiful.. 
www.revingtontr.com
FYI: on my TR4 will be 
REUSING: 8 thrustwashers, 16 grease seal steel shims, 2 trunnions, 2 vertical 
link grease seals. 
REPLACING: 2 trunnion shafts, 8 rubber grease seals, 4 end-thrust washers, 4 
shaft nuts (won't be castellated, but rather steel locking nuts instead, as 
the new shafts are not drilled for cotters), 4 nylon inner lower bushings, 8 
upper inner rubber bushings, and the 4 stainless steel tubes that go over the 
frame's pivot shafts.
ps; it was somewhat difficult getting the arms off the trunnions - go slow 
and be carefull if you want to save the most reuseable pieces - sometimes good 
originals are better than new.
Regards,
Carl
'63 TR4 since '74
