    Parts For Sale Charity Yard sale!

    Hi all .... VERY long time no see. In my defense we haven't had our bus for ... ? three years ? Long story short I have about six boxes of bits left over from our roller coaster of a multi-project ride. They need to be gone so I thought I would try to see them off at speed by making it PROCEEDS...

    For sale: Tow bar for standard exhaust.

    Hi all. First of all apologies for the lack of photos. This should happen shortly :) The tow bar looks to be exactly the same fixing as the JK one for an early with standard exhaust. Whether it is, or isn't, a JK one I don't know. It has been rust treated and painted Matt black. It has a new...

    [SOLD] Early RHD steering box in great condition

    I have this early type RHD steering box from a 72. It's is very good health with barely any play at all, so it doesn't need parts replacing or reconditioning as far as I can tell. I'm looking for £250, with no offers please, as this includes all bolts, the horn cable and the droplink ... and...

    For sale pair of Bilstein and pair of KYB gas shocks

    Took these off to get back to standard on "Elmo" ... The Bilstein are in very good shape. Code is F4-B46-0032-H0 which means nothing to me, but apparently they're "sweeeeet" for a lowered bus! Hole centre to hole centre off the bus is 385mm Same as here I think: that they're selling at £126 for...

    Brake fluid reservoir different locations

    Hi all, I was under the impression that the brake fluid reservoir sits behind a kick panel, but in our US LHD 71 Deluxe there appears to be one between the driver's seat and the bulkhead ...... Normal??

    For sale: (Now readvertised) Steering box RHD 1972. (early)

    Hi all, Finally separated this from a wreck to find that it's possibly the best part on the whole bus! I haven't been able to get any play out of it but this is after taking it off. I've tried clamping it up to simulate it being in situ but it's still looking good. As such I'm not describing it...

    SOLD subject to delivery ...Pair Dormobile bunk frames and fabric for sale

    See pics for condition ... Frames work fine and are sound under ratty paint and surface rust. Fabric either needs repair, or could be used/sold on for seat inserts etc? https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b352ejn3xu0q75s/AAAgBn2Zlv5_JvTVNvLAE5aaa?dl=0 Open to offers but think £250 about right if based...

    What's sensible to ask for a rusty 1700 ISH engine?

    As in the subject line ... No photos yet but pretty much complete with tinware, moobar etc ... (Wanting to clear the decks as opposed to using it for exchange.) ...

    Roof line changes?

    I've just looked at an early bay properly for the first time having been in cross over world for some time. Do early buses have a mid-roof side to side channel that isn't on cross overs and lates? It can't be standard surely ... Don't see it in photos of other 71 US buses ...

    Hi, Obviously on the road .... but I have a spare RHD box that I'm offering for sale soon and want to give it an accurate description/assessment. Its currently in place on a shell, but theres play in the column fixings so I'm thinking theres probably a more reliable way to see whether theres...

    For sale: [SOLD]Cross over roof cut with tailgate hinges

    It has come to this! This was on a cross over so basically like a late one , and hence also posted this on thelatebay :shock: but I'm guessing there are a few "crossies" on here. One of the few bits that were not rusty. Photos give a good idea ... £275 please. In the Bristol/Stroud area. MIGHT...
