Reply To: Chris Treagust – Traction Spares

Hi Richard, I’ve pretty much given up with trying to get spares from the Traction Owners Club.

I’m mostly using Franssen. They have a good website, and for most parts, their prices are ok. CTA are also good. It pays to check their prices. Delivery times from both are very good.

I don’t know what the problem is with the Traction Owners Club spares set up. I guess Chris does it as an unpaid volunteer? So just does it as and when he has time?

Turning point for me was asking for a gearbox to engine gasket. I was sent a gearbox gasket set, which wasn’t what I asked for and doesn’t include a gearbox to engine gasket. Only to be told no such thing exists! I sent the set back. After months and countless unanswered emails, I’ve still been unable to locate the refund. I know it’s a minor issue, but it would have been so easy to tell me that the gasket I was after doesn’t exist, and to make a timely refund or answer the emails!
