Title: Set of mirrors
Post by: ScubaChris on 27, March, 2011 - 13:41:32

My latest trawl around for spare parts... Would any of you helpful guys have any of the following items going spare perchance?

* Boot inner container (plastic corrugated inner bit).
* Plastic 'U' retaining clip to stop boot hinges popping out (I have one but need another).
* 2 x plastic 'top hat' grommets to plug the holes at the top of the seat back (above the A frame).
* Front wheel cover (posted in another thread but I'm consolidating everything here).
* Mudflaps.
* Set of mirrors - used ones are fine as long as they have the brackets & bolts.
* 1 x plastic clip which fits into the rear of the frame and allows the control box to be screwed to it.

Pretty please???  :D

Hi, for the in-chassis plastic mounting clips, look at Moss Plastics web-site, then order a couple of samples ,like I did!

Really struggling with this now... I tried ordering a bag of these off ebay (the 1st item, not the Land Rover one), but they are way too small and almost fall inside the hole. I think the holes in the chassis are around 9-10mm whereas the biggest lokut size I can find is around 7mm.
Oh well, have to keep searching!
Anyone know if the Land Rover ones are any bigger?
