They frequently come up on eBay - in various conditions and prices!

You could post a wanted ad here on the forum, or you could try the likes of FBI (Swansea I think) or one of the other parts importers/breakers - they all import from dry states/Australia/South Africa so you'd get a good solid beam.

The other alternative would be to buy a new, narrowed beam.

I'd post a wanted ad and check eBay first, you might find one just down the road from you!!

don't forget to undo the clutch cable. I forgot this and was the very hard to see it was stopping the beam from coming out, in the dark.

Also don't forget the handbrake cables, gear shift rod, speedo cable & steering rod

And anything else the previous owners have seen fit to route between/under the torsion tubes !!
