TC Special eBay items for sale. Anyone buy any of the stuff?
« on: Friday,May 10, 2013, 11:35:50 AM »
Looks like another TC Special is being parted out. Seller is "sterncars" Did anyone here happen to buy the rear uprights? I'm looking for a pair to borrow so I can scan them with my 3D scanner. I would take care of the shipping back and forth.

Here is the link of the uprights.

Joe, picked up a pair of trailing arms with the rear brakes, hubs and half shafts attached from another part out. If I can get the parts disassembled, you're welcome to borrow the hubs/uprights.
 
On another note, anybody have an idea on how to remove the rear stub axle nut when the entire assembly is off the car?

Joji, I have a vise with some half round teeth to grab the axles. I could probably have the the shifts separated from the up rights in short order. Fallbrook is pretty close as I recall? :confused:

Joe, if I recall, I'm only an hour and a half away from you in OC. If you think that you can get the large nut off, I'm wiling to let you try.

Joe,

If you're still interested in borrowing my rear uprights, shoot me an email off list. I gave up trying to disassemble both rear trailing arms, no longer have the time or equipment to mess with it for now.
