Sealed Beam 5 inch twin-filament headlights have suddenly become NLA .
Quartz Halogen with an H4 bulb is a semi-drop-in aftermarket replacement, but will need relay switching.

Door lock buttons (if that is what they are called) need to be hoarded as they can become brittle and crack/snap if handled roughly...!!!

I'm 70% sure I have the hose mounts on my car and I definitely don't need them- Original inlet hose supports
- clutch master
- clutch slave
- starter motor including solenoid
- alternator

Engine swapping it so I'll be using the clutch from the doner car
Engines for sale so I have starter motor to spare
So many ideas... So little budget... So little time.
Re: Unobtanium and old core
according to Autosparks the multi-pin connector plug for the fascia warning cluster on the dash wiring loom is also NLA.
