Yeah me too!

Kitspares (GBS) sell them, but they don't look the same - so if you do get some, would be interested to know if they work OK.






I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure

your right they don't look like the orig ones, but I doubt anybody would notice once they are fitted and the hubs are fitted to the car with the brake calipers/cycle wing brackets etc in place!

I guess it's not aesthetics for me, more a case of looks if it will function correctly

Been a while - but eventually found some.

Sent an email to Racing Green TVR and got a prompt reply to tell me they had some.

They were £5.95 each and by the time post and vat was added, not really much cheaper than the Ebay KitSpares ones, BUT they are the genuine article AND I ordered at around 11.30am on Friday, goods arrived 9.00am Saturday.

So a big thumbs up for an excellent service!

Nice find

What made you ask them, a tip off from someone?

No, just Googled and discovered that TVR Griffs and S series used Sierra Uprights! So, next I googled TVR specialists and thus had an uncle called Robert
