I'm thinking replacing it with a rebuilt torque converter might be the safest way to go after reading all the posts.

Hello Jacques,
Thank you for finding the posts Jacques - it is much appreciated.
Having read the word from the technicians I might follow a third option. Sell the engine with the gearbox - without a torque converter - as a free part of a job lot.
For no extra cost, not only do you get the engine; you get the main section of a gearbox too!
In the meantime I will cast a casual eye over different wreckers stock - just in case a second-hand one comes along. If that does not happen - well it is just too bad, how sad.
It was good to read that the nuts on the torque converter studs are finicky and give other people trouble too! I am not Robinson Crusoe with the nuts - which brings a bit of consolation to me
Kind regards
Lionel
