For sale in this listing is a factory handbrake assembly, as fitted to Triumph TR2 TR3 TR3a TR3b (TR4).
This particular one is the TR2-3a version, with the screw on type bakelite grip thread present.
Apart from the screw on grip, it is my understanding the TR4 ones are the same, except they had a push on rubber grip, so the thread wasn't necessary on the lever itself.
Because of this, both the TR4 grip and lever had a different part number, as there was no thread. Other than that, I believe them to be a direct fit for both cars.
The pawl, ratchet and button are missing on this one, but the wire connecting rod is present.
For safety reasons, I think you would replace the pawl & ratchet as a matter of course anyway.
Internals are seized and need feeing up with penetrating oil etc.
The lever obviously needs new chrome, but could function as is.
Feel free to make a sensible but close offer.
TERMS
I am not a massive fan of endless terms and conditions. I would much rather rely on common sense and fairness, but unfortunately they seem to be necessary, just so that we both know what is expected from each other, and when.
BIDDING
Please do not bid if you are not sure about an item, or you are not intending to complete the transaction. Like any auction, your bid legally obliges you to complete the sale. It also incurs me in selling fees, which I would need to recover.
All of my items are available outside of eBay, so apologies if I have to withdraw them early, but eBay is not the only place I sell from.
PAYMENT
I expect to be paid in a timely manner - 5 days doesn't seem unreasonable, unless we have agreed something different. Please don't exceed this time without contacting me, as this may result in the item being relisted.
Items will not be released until payment is received in full, including postage. Paypal is fine, or you can send me a cheque, but please remember I will not be sending the item until it has cleared. To be safe, this is normally 10 ten days from when I have banked it, not three. Under no circumstances will I accept a bankers draft.
NON-PAYMENT
All non-payers will be reported to eBay, mainly so that I can get a refund of the fees I have incurred. I will also set up an automatic rejection for any future bids you place.
PACKING
I packVERYwell, so it is extremely unlikely that an item will arrived damaged, unless someone has maliciously or deliberately tampered with it. I will not compromise on packing simply to make a parcel smaller to save postage.
POSTAGE
Postage is for delivery within the UK mainland only. Additional charges may apply to more remote parts of the UK, especially the islands.I will combine postage where possible.
INSURANCE
I will try to include in the postage cost the correct level of insurance. Some items are not allowed to be carried, although sometimes they will take it uninsured. This is at your risk if you want me to do that.
OVERSEAS BUYERS PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE BIDDING
Postage stated will only include sending the item to the eBay Global shipping hub,so long as the item is accepted by them.It does not include the delivery from them to you, or any tax or duty payable. Some countries are outside of the scheme.
RETURNS
I try very hard to describe items accurately, to the point where I make them sound worse than they actually are. However, I am human and therefore can miss something or make a mistake.
If this is the case, I will fully refund the item when I receive it back from you, so long as it is in the condition I sent it, and that you accept responsibility for the cost of the return postage. Please don't bid if you are unwilling to do this. I won't take items back just because you've changed your mind.
FEEDBACK
Most of my feedback relates to selling Triumph TR classic cars parts, so you will be able to tell what sort of guy I am from this. Feedback is reciprocal.
