Another excellent hub rebuilder is Dave Sims at Cross Roads Auto Systems
[800-832-6008] in Greensburg, PA. He does rebuilds for Moss and TRF and is
my TR mechanic. A bit expensive, but worth it for peace of mind.

Subject: TR6 rear hub rebuilder
First, I would like to thank all the listers who responded with advice
on my rear hub questions recently, especialy Bob Lang, who strongly
suggested I have my hubs rebuilt as a safety issue and Joe Davis (no
relation), who recommended Scott Howell of High Point Imports for the
rebuilding service. Scott is a very nice and informative TR enthusiast
who said he used to work for the local Triumph dealership before it
closed. He was able to procure many of the specialized Churchhill tools
when he left the dealership to open his own shop.
I have been running on Scotts rebuilt hubs for about 300 miles now and
they seem to perform as goods as they looked when I received them. Scott
thoroughly cleans and bead blasts each hub assembly, rebuilds them using
factory tools and paints them the original gloss black. I doubt they
looked this good from new. He also does something quite rare; he returns
the used bearings and parts removed from the hubs! And he gives a
written warranty for 12 months/12,000 miles. I had mine rebuilt for
$330/pair during a special which may have expired, but he is less
expensive than most other shops. Contact Scott at:
