Thanks very much, I'll keep watching your website. Brian

Hi, I'm in the market for a repair section for under the front screen. I don't need the whole front clip, just the piece immediately under the screen to the bulge. If you have any nice rust-free ones, what would be the price please, and how much for delivery to Nottingham? Thanks, Brian

Hi Pete, Can you tell me if the gearboxes are repairable, and if so what parts from them would you say are salvageable? How much damage has the water done to them, are the innards basically no good for anything now? I'm assuming best case that all of the bearings are u/s. I quite fancied the...

I have a pair of these on my crewcab, and they are great. just had to slightly modify the upper brackets to fit, but it was not difficult, and they're so much better than the standard mirrors. Also made from good quality US steel, not that cheap Chinese rubbish! The price is pretty food too, I...

Hi. I bought and imported a set a few years ago from a company in the States, check out their website - http://www.awdirect.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. They still have the ones I bought, called Junior West Coast Mirrors, selling at $45.65 each. Of course, you'll have to...

Hi, As it says in the heading, I'm after a pair of metal frames for front door fixed quarter light (2 parts, one that goes round the rubber seal, the other the upright that holds the felt channel). I'm also after the rubber seals for the upright part of each frame. I don't need the glass or main...

Hi mate, I have one that I took of my engine to replace it with an alternator. It was working fine then, no reason to think it isn't now. I would be looking at around £40 for it. I can take it along to Stanford Hall if that's any good to you. All the best, Brian

Hi, I recently bought an incorrect replacement clutch cable, and now have it for sale whilst I get the correct one (yes, a right numpty I know!). It is an Italian-made cable with plastic coating, in good condition, just a little grubby from where I tried fitting it. Total cable length 325cm end...

Hi, I bought a pair last year from A W Direct (http://www.awdirect.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) in the US. They were a little more expensive than some I've seen advertised, but they are made in the US from higher grade stainless steel and are much better quality than the...

Hi, bit of a long shot I know, but some years ago I found a pair at Alan Schofields. They were Brazilian made, and were the correct shape but had incorrect lighting holes cut in them to take later light fittings - typical Brazilian stuff. I managed to get them adapted to fit correctly, and now...

Hi, Does anyone know of a company or person who makes custom dashboard panels to fit a lhd early Bay? I've seen one or two in buses at shows, but don't know if they are bought items or if the owner has made one themselves. I'm not sure what they are made from, but assume it is fibreglass. I'd be...

Thanks for all of the great advice, everyone. I think I'll start looking around for a good used 1600 box, and get ready to enjoy the relative peace and quiet!

I've a sneaking feeling that I may have one of those. My 'cab was originally used by the Swedish army, so it may be possible. Anyone have any recommendations for the best box to use with a 1641cc engine in a 'cab? I would certainly like to lower the revs a bit, so I can hear myself think when...

I have 15" radars with 185 x 65 tyres.

Hi all, I wonder if anyone knows what the ratios are in a 1970 Crewcab. Mine has its original box still running, but I want to change it at some stage as the gearing of the box means that I'm only doing 40mph at 3,000rpm, which is doing me and the engine no good at all! I've grovelled around...
