Thread: Work on the 'ol ute tomorrow

Everyone I have found at home with them - simply wont part with them

As I said they are difficult to get - I have a pair of the base plates (but gave them away only last week)

Wish you luck

Wayne

PS just have to be in the right place at the right time unfortunally.....

Wayne,

Are you familiar with many Series 1's having the Della type on them? I have only seen ceremonial vehicles with these fitted. However have found that for the 1955 vehicles it may have been common for both types (Pork Pie and Della); seems these ones may be easier to get hold of.


Had only just sent this reply when I got a message from a supplier in England. He has originals in boxes still (can imagine the price...). Will let you know more when I find out.

Troy, I have seen early ones with either the "D" lights or Pork Pie types, but not Della. There was a bloke at Toowoomba who had brand new "D" lights for $120 each Beautiful quality though, as they were brass with glass lenses.

Hi there

Sorry for the late response - at work and as usual it turns to s--t.

I have seen both types of light on these series ones (my fire tender has pork pies's) and I am not to sure of the history behind it. Diana might be the best person to ask - here knowledge amazes me......

As for the "d" lights I have managed to manufacture them my self - and it would only take a good rivet counter to spot the differences.

Howdy Troy , These are the tyres i had down at the father-in-laws. They are 205/16's and have never been used . They were on rims but thats as far as they got . 1 of the pics is the 205 beside a 7.50/16 . Hope it's what you want.

They look just right Are they Road Grippers ??
