Are toploader & single rail gear knobs the same? I can't remember.
Anyway, found this.

No reverse would be in the wrong spot.

Reverse is NW not SW, other than that the white is thinner, duller, I suppose worn relative to that but I haven't cleaned it up - no cracks or anything silly. I'll give it a scrub and see what comes up. I know the black is deep and glossy just like that ebay link.

What's it worth? Haven't got a pic of it yet, as I didn't get to the car this weekend. Maybe $20 for instance? As for what I need - well, would that swap for a good working XB clock?

Or rear honeycomb sections in any kind of condition? So long as the honeycomb and frame is complete - I don't needs pins or paint, as my beaver is flat and I'll be painting/chroming it anyway.

I've just been stripping back some panels on the XB and have found that the R/H front guard is full of bog...covering bingle damage, other dents and rust. Also my R/H door has some bad splits around the 3 screws at the latch along with some more nasty rust.

Can anyone help me out in getting hold of a decent door and guard... I don't mind if the guard has minor rust in lower section, I can fix that alright.

I'm also keeping my eye out for a fluted bonnet and possibly a L/H door.

I'm in Newcastle, NSW

Cheers

Landau stocking hose material for sale which is extremely rare! Havnt seen it come up before. Just a shame there is only enough for one seat and it is expensive because of that reason. If someone had a roll to complete a full interior, they would be sitting on a gold mine!

I need a set of black front & rear seatbelts to suit an XB Coupe, if anyone can help please let me know. Also after a black rear seat, but any colour will do really as I'm likely to get it reupholstered.

Cheers all.

Has anyone got a 3.5:1 LSD diff centre for a 9" for sale? I'm not sure what the difference is as I have seen the packs for sale on ebay but unsure what is needed to match an LSD...which mine is but with 2.75:1.
Diff is making occasional clunk clunk clunks at very low speed so an overhaul may be needed, hence might as well up the ratio a bit.

Any help much appreciated and happy to ship if not in Sydney.

PM me if you can.

Cheers, Jamie

I have a pair of spare coupe doors for an xa that are pretty reasonable. where are you located? got a bootlid too, but it needs a lot of work.

I will be going through all my surpluss xa coupe stuff soon and getting rid of anything I dont want, so stay tuned.
I know I have a spare set of stainless door top moulds left n right lying around and a few spare bonnet moulds plus tuns of large buckle seatbelts for coupes and some later retractable coupe belts too, and plenty of extra bits too. Will post them up once I go through it all.
