People helping people.

It is indeed nice to see different clubs working together,

I learned a great deal of my knowledge from the FastMarina forum and from the Marina owners club.

I highly recommend becoming a member of both.

Re: Walford Trunions

S0ld mine for £35 for the pair! Someone got a real bargain. The new upright I got £70 for. As said previously I offered club members the chance but no takers.

Re: Walford Trunions

Well done that man.

Information that can be used by all.

Happy New Year to you.

I have tracked down some Walford Trunions.
It seems the Marina Owners club purchased the entire stock when the manufacturer ceased trading.
They cost £98 per pair, if you are a member, or £138 per pair if you are not.
Quite expensive but cheaper than two new uprights (assuming you can find a pair).

Cheers, Robin

I had a quick reply. They have some in stock - but only the left had one - so not a lot of use. Being the front suspension I wouldn't fancy not fitting them in pairs.
So.... The search continues.

I would agree, changing them in pairs (anything to do with brakes, tyres and suspension) is always preferable.

I would have thought that the left hand or nearside trunnion would show greater wear and tear.
It is subject to water from the gutter and additional vibration etc from drain covers and potholes.

If it’s the last resort to keeping a car on the road.... a dry fit with a new trunnion will give you a clue as to the level of wear.

But nothing beats regular and effective maintenance

I think they sold off a lot of slow moving stock in 2013 or thereabouts. I did put in an offer for some parts but was unsuccessful, maybe because I was being selective, and not wanting a large quantity across the board.

Nice try, that’s an original though. The Walford trunnions are different as they recut the damaged thread on the upright.

Re: Walford Trunions

Thanks - good find.

I have emailed them. As you say, still listed on their website, but the last time it was updated was 2013! - Still worth a try. I'll report back when I hear something.

Re: Walford Trunions

Try South Wales Propshaft.
they list them but I have a feeling that they might have sold all their stock. They might tell you where.
