Triumph TR3 - Parts for overdrives

Hi out there:
The other day while trying to source a plug nut for the operating valve on the overdrive unit I plan to install in my TR3 this winter,I came across Overdrive Spares in North Coventry in England.The part was available from stock and the service was excellent and I had the piece within a week by air mail.Also the price was much better than the regular US suppliers.
They claim they can supply any and all parts for our overdrives.Some of you may have heard of them but I am sure this would be of interest to those who have not.
The fellow I dealt with was Dave.Their phone number is 24-7654-3686 and the E-mail is ODSPARES@aol.com

Chuck - I'll add this one to the 6 or 7 commercial sources I already have.

But I need to know if someone has a used or new gearbox output mainshaft for sale.

It is for a TR3A gearbox (non-synchro 1st gear) with overdrive where the gearbox output shaft extends to form the input shaft for the overdrive.

Don-There are 2 styles of 3 sychro mainshafts. The early type has a smaller (about .5"dia and 1" long with a groove for oil) pilot that fits in a bronze bushing in the input shaft. The later type has a larger (about .75")pilot that fits into a needle bearing in the input shaft. The change is listed at TS 26824 in the Moss catalog. Write me if you can't find one locally.
