Do they want to sell some more?

. I'm looking for a 7.00 x 16 if they have them in that size, or even a 7.50 x 16. If they want to sell some more, can you please post or PM me the details?

Cheers - Gav.

Me too

Brad

What I am missing altogether is the dust seals. If the prices are accurate I can send some money through on 2 rubbers, 2 dust felts and some postage. Let me know if this sounds OK.
Thanks Brendan

I'll ring KB tomorrow & order them. I asked him the price today & that is the price he told me & there would be some freight. If he has them in stock i should have them by the weekend. Wayne

Thanks Wayne
Originally I was after something that looks respectable. All these little touches will just make it look better.

Hi Brendan, I have ordered the 4 rubber head light seals off KB & have given him your address so he will post them to you this will save you one lot of postage . He will let me know the total cost & i will send him the money & you can fix me up when you receive the parts . Wayne

Hi Brendan , I would say there were a couple of H/L seals KB didn't have in stock , he is going to ring me for your address when he gets them so he can send them directly to you that will save you one lot of postage, & I will send him the money. You can fix me up after you get the parts . Wayne

Glad to hear from you Wayne. After checking the post today I was strating to think I should post you up some money as I did n't want you to be out of pocket with the bits in transit.

**1950landy** · 6th November 2013, 08:52 PM

I will gice KB a call tomorrow & see how he is going with the bits. The Slows are coming this weekend to see all the parts I bought off KB . He has sod his business now & the all the Lucas parts are being moved to Victoria. I think it will be a wile before the new owner is set up to start selling. I will let you know when KB sends the parts. Wayne

HI Brebdan, These are my door tops , have only put them on yhe *0" once to see how they looked. I ordered the flaps from Craddocks , was cheeper than geting them made & the colour matched the tilt i bought off them, the windows was a 2.5m x 1200 off cut i bought on ebay for $60 ( bunnings wanted same price for 1200 x 800 sheet. I had to make a new R/H top hinge because it was missing & got the rivets from Bolt Masters. in Brisbane.

I found enough of the seal between the door top & wind screen frame in those parts I bought to doo 2 doors , so just hace to fit them.

Gee they look good. You said that you have only had them on the once. How blustery have you found driving without them. Be good in summer. I was even starting to think maybe I should just go the full canvas tilt (in sand)rather than the truck cab. I was looking where the canvas would tie in behind the seats and in front of the spare and it really needs another hoop slightly further back so as not to crowd the seat. I was not keen to drill a hole in the Gal capping to house it. I also feel that I would be modifying the aesthetics before I even drive it.

Its not too cold , just wear thicker coat in winter but then doesn't get that cold in Brisbane , also i find the rain uually doesn't come in unless its blowing realy hard. I found the door tops rattle a lot. & help to make all the other noises worse . The 80" have holes in the the panel behind the seats for the footman loops already & the fume curtain hooks on ti the capping at the front of the tub. I,ve had 2 full alum full thar tops & sold them , 1 full canvas tilt untill it ripped( it was 2nd hand) & 1 alum truck cab which I sold . Alum hard tops are too noisy & slow the 80" 1595cc down too much

. The cancas tilts are easier to put on & take off & don't take up much room to store. In summer I like to drive it with no top & screen down on the bonnet.
