Help with Bits and bobs

[jellison]

Need some quick answers for some small Griffith / Grantura parts bits, i.e. what they are off and source:-

1) Front Indicators (look like Moggie Minor ones and same on the back (200 series).

2) Number plate light - is this just a universal job?

3) Early car handbrake (I got one, but might need another (Adrian / DG?))

4) is it possible to get the window surrounds (or a very similar ally extrusion so you could use and existing one to make another)? Will have plexi-glass so not going up and down.

I can help with the number plate light

It could be this if its the same as the series one vixen/1800s. You need to check the bolt configuration because there are 2 i believe.

As far as the handbrake is concerned, On mine (series 1 vixen) its a Jag XK140/150 (yes I know) item with a bit welded on as far as I can work out. I,ll post pics later if nesc. Its probably just as cheap to get my old one (v rusty) cleaned and replated as it is to get a new one made up.

The plate light is the common Morris Minor light. The front and rear lights are Sparto. They are hard to find as there are 3 different lenses, orange, red, and red w/reflector. The basic unit was also used on an early land rover, Mk2, I believe. There is a guy that sells a repro lens set on eBay out of Australia.

Cheers.

Anyone know where a window surround could be acquired.



Not the outside bit, the bit that is attached to the top of the door for the glass to slide up into.

This is mine - but need another set for a mates Griff.

There was someone posting these on US eBay from time to time. Maybe try asking on the Yahoo boards, if you haven't.
