Unobtainable items
It now seems as if the steering column upper bearing is now also unobtainable. Part number 153393

List updated.
I've ammended washer pumps to be only the bottle top type as the rivet on lucas ones are appearing on the bay remanufactured. Are the rear exhaust brackets the same for left and right exit?

Not that hard, or sought after.Stan Part wrote: 1300FWD front indicator/side lights - I understand are VERY hard to find in any condition.
That one was bought new from Mick Dolphin 3 or 4 years ago for less than a tenner IIRC. Like a lot of the 1300 stuff I've got, there's no demand so I imagine there's probably a reasonable supply still from somewhere.

Exhaust bracket
its not "handed" .. it fits both sides, just has to be turned around when fitted to the opposite side to locate onto the rubber mounting.
Re subframes
Welding to subframe is no longer a failiure item, provided it looks good and does not weaken it!

If the vinyl part is OK then all of the wood pieces can be changed quite easily. I wonder if the RHD wood bits will work in a LHD dash?spanishdolly wrote:Lhd sprint dashboard very elusive part... remember that in continental Europe exist sprint fans too, I need all wooden dashboard, time clock, glovebox and black vinil dash, mine is not destroy but not perfect and do´nt want to idsmantle car for two weeks and keeps me hanging on restoring the dashboard, I prefer another complete, not perfect required and restored then and when finished then fix in one day, next day onthe road again.

I just found one instruments facia with all the clocks and gauges in Italy for 60 Euros with chrome rings dials, by the way, which is the square light on the right lower corner?
Mine don´t have, it maybe seat belts warning light?
