Any T40 owners / projects, where to get yer parts.

This is my 1978 T40, it was in a bit of a mess when I got it, not so much now I'm finished.

Title is confusing me as I'm not seeing anything missing.

 

If it's just the TR cover speak to Brian, earlpillanz, on eBay. When I dropped off the scratchplates from my Peavey collection I included control cavity covers and a TR cover. Templates were made but the TR cover never made the inventory, Brian wasn't sure he had the curve right and didn't want Americans moaning "it doesn't fit".

 

If you loose your senses, replacement screws can be bought from "Fretsonthenet", Dave carries all of them; does pickup rings too.

Well indeed, apart from the TRC I can't see what you're looking for here.  But I'll throw some fuel on the T-40 parts fire...

 

When I fitted a T-40 pickup to my DeArmond Jet Star, the pickup ring was a bit warped and sad, so I got one 3D printed using this model - fits great!

 

If they're not bothered about originality of parts, this could get someone out of jail - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3587735

Sorry guys, got pics in total wrong order, but you get my gist. It was a total strip down and replace a lot of parts. The control knobs and tuners were the hardest to find, but I did find them eventually, at a price. The tuners are actually Schallers, just no name on them, and the control knobs were from a T40, the guy in CA was stripping it. So eventually I completed my project, all Peavey parts, all original, apart from the pickguard.

Pity I never spotted any "T40 parts wanted" post. 

 

6 of the 68 Peavey basses I've owned were T 40s, if I didn't have the parts I'd know somebody who did. 

 

Fat lot of good that does you now 🤣
