Hey guys, anyone know of where I could obtain a few parts for my coupe? I'm after a set of 46-48 rear radius rods, a Model A to 34 front wishbone (I only need the axle mount) and the metal cups for the wishbone ball for a V8 powered car. Why??? you may ask...... Well I'm getting stuff together to build a new chassis for the coupe and rather than run split 'bones on the front, I want to run an extended wishbone made out of Ford parts as listed. All leads greatfully accepted. Cheers
Hey man try Petes Early Spares in Adelaide. Not the cheepest option but he has a shitload of stuff stashed away. Otherwise Colin Bates has bits, Fred Ruigrok as well....worth checkin out. Rat
Can't help with parts, but I'll keep it somewhere near the top Have you tried Graeme Radley?? (Rob's mate) Peddro got some stuff off him, but I'm not sure what else he has.......
spot on guys. I bought the original stuff I had for my coupe from Pete in SA, I've been down to Raddles - all he had were bent ones, Just got off the phone with Fred. so Next is to ask Colin, and then Pete. anyone else know of anyone? Cheers
Might be able to help with an A front wishbone...let me check. Need to check also as I think I've got a late rear bone up the farm..... Will PM when I get a chance to confirm. Cheers, Drewfus
Thanks all for the leads, and Andrew, that'd be great. to tell the post 29 type of front 'bone, its 10mm thick on the fingers, whereas the AR or 28 type is less than 10mm. The 46-48 rear bones are thicker than their earlier counterparts. hope that helps.
yeah yeah try colin I bought my eh sedan of him he has heaps of awesome stuff and his a top bloke so if he dosent have it will point ya where to go
stovebolt, dont forget ballarat swap is coming up, if you cant locate it by then, the swap will definately have it. not sure about any of the above, but can look at the swap for you if your not going. cheers.
thanks Flat, I might have to get you to look for some stuff for me @ Ballarat, as Family and Work commitments prevent me from going to the swap. I'd like to try non-dealer folk before I try the obvious. thanks Flat, and Kid
