MG MGA - Halda Tripmaster

I'm looking for a Halda Tripmaster housing, alloy metal type. A non-working complete/part complete assembly would also work, but cost is a factor (I know they can be expensive). Does anyone have something available?

Thanks, George

You mean this?

If you want to get it working you will need all the gears to achieve the correct calibration.

Steven, yes, that's it. My goal is a "display piece" at this time, not a working rally tool.

Did you try ebay?

Did try ebay. A few working ones, $1K + which is about right for a good one.

I have an unrestored Halda Twin Master cat# TWM1 s/n 3840 c/w instructions, two cables, 4 "T" fittings/drive gears # 124 & 141 X gears and an extra "Z"gear.
This setup was removed from a Riley 1.5 rallye car in the 1960s and stored.
The instruction sheets are dated Sept 1, 1964 & March 1964. It was not in the car during the summer of 64 but I do recall it in use during 1965 so I assume the purchase date was in 1965. By 67 the owner was a bush pilot flying in the far north & no longer competing.
This post reminded me that I still had the Halda.
The metal case is not perfect as it has a few spots where the coating is gone.I am willing to sell the entire rig and will entertain reasonable offers.
I am located in western Canada, BC
Cheers

Morris, sounds like you have a more or less complete unit, which is probably worth more than my budget for this project, especially since it is a Twinmaster model. Contact me off line at goeppnerg@gmail.com, include your asking price if possible.

Thanks, George
