I am looking for an old parking meter, or even two, just the heads will be fine, or with a pipe attached. Like this below. Anyone know where they are?? Or are they part of your Kia, Daewoo, Tata etc form far shores ?? Answers or for sale offers on here, or by PM please.  |

I just want to make a static meter bolted to a plate, to stick up next to the bus.... kinda in the same vein as having some of the "Ratlook" wibblepoo on a roofrack on a car. Do you think one could make it look like a parking meter once mounted on a piece of scaffolding pipe ? |

Well it was a parking meter in a previous life, at the moment it's a big lump of metal that tries to trip me down the stairs whenever I go into the back sheds!
Its not huge, the bucket behind should give an idea of scale, its a standard sized paint/plaster tub if that helps? I'll make enquiries on monday if you like?
