With todays modern rapid prototyping techniques, making some would not be out of sight, what we would need is a blueprint or a fresh drawing / design. With a Parasolid 3d cad file in x_t format I reckon we could stamp the first one out in about 3...

Computors do not do human emotion Jonno !
If you wanna be your best mate - then why not ?
Threaten it with a baseball bat mate (you'll feel better for it) but dont hit it though, as the cost to replace it will mean IT had the last laugh !

I've done this to my UK spec MV 1800 (Brumby) - you need the entire parts kit from an MY series vehicle (any of them) which has power steering fitted. There's quite a list. one thing to watch is the extended thermo housing (clears the back of the power steering pump) - You MUST have this part for it...

Maybe pricing it at that much because he doesnt want to do it :( Sounds pricey to me - even from all the way over here in England. Or Maybe he's the only ''Tigger'' in the area so he thinks he can charge what he likes ! Pity your not here mate - that sounds like a footy ticket and tinnies job to me ...

Maybe Jules - but up here in the UK they rust under the bottom corners of the window seal and let H20 in that way too. The MV's / Brumby's here that are now getting scrapped off usually have reall good un-cracked dash's in them - due to our sunshine not as potent as you guy's sunshine. Pity they wou...

We remade the best part of the loom as age had taken its toll. Scoobs has a weber 32/36 carby and we do not run with idle increaser thingy. Fuel cons is m...
