I need to buy some tyres so some stuff is up for grabs. All prices are plus postage though collection welcome from North West London (near major roads), possible delivery/meeting up the M1 as far as Milton Keynes. Kevfromwales pony express also a possibilty  60's era slip on head rest with a pocket in the back. A couple of tears in the back where the strengtheners are inside but these wouldn't be seen when fitted. SOLD   MX5 overmats. Slight wear to drivers heel pad. £5  One Dunlop 175/65/15 winter tyre. Bought by me as part worn from Ebay has one puncture repair but lots of tread. £5  Mini Clubman new old stock headlight trim. £5  Very old maybe even vintage horn. Worked great and very loud but also very heavy! KfW/MM FIGHT!  MX5 coilpack. Car was running great when removed. £15  Triumph 1500 Engines. I have three 1500 engines in various states of (dis)repair. The one pictured has a blown headgasket, another complete one has a rumbling bottom end, the third was expensively rebuilt and did about 20k miles before it melted a piston. Crank was balanced though so some internal parts might still be useful. One has a smaller lighter 1300 flywheel and clutch. I basically need them out of the way. £30 for the lot?  Likely to be other parts coming soon! |

Hi Seth,
Very interested in the horn. Does it sound like those vintage horns (Klaxon?) or a LOUD conventional electric horn? Or even an air horn?
Looking for something a little less 'dainty' sounding for the Delica. This could be the answer ;D

Its not an "Ahh-ooogah" sound. More like loud-ish "Parp!" Not as loud as an air horn wold be.

gah - too slow on the horn - I'd also be interested, depending on how 'parp!' it is, as the F250's horn is a bit limp sounding tbh - any chance of a youtube 'test fire' video?
could you not get more than 30 quid for those engines weighing them in seff?

Don't suppose you have a 1500 overdrive box kicking around do you?

Err. Yes! I advertised it in CCW months ago, a bloke was going to coem and get it but has never showed up. Its a J type and I've got the prop and mounts to suit a Herald.

Is the J type the single rail type? I.E. An exposed rod to change gears? If so how much do you want for it?

A couple more things. Compressor. I bought this about 8 years ago at a clearance auction and it has sat unused at the back of the shed ever since. Brushed it off this morning and it sprang to life, pumped up to its 8bar rating and cut off as it should. New ones of this sort of size seem to be about £80. I'm asking SOLD   Steering wheel. I believe it is Mini fitting and got it as I know that is common to the A60 range. SPline is 3/4" dia, rim is about 13" diameter.Not perfect condition but very useable and would clean up nicely. £8  I do also have the remains of an MX5 to get rid of so let me know if there's anything you want. (Seats have been sold) |
