I'm trying to get hold of a grey handbrake boot, nos or perfect condition. I've also got a friend who is looking for one, so if any of you guys have a spare gathering dust somewhere, please let me know.
I'm also after a set of perfect early hub caps and a set of 4 or 5 61-63 wheels. (dont need to be perfect, but not dented and must be true)
Also need a 45 hp din side draught engine, complete, but not necessarily running. I'm trying to get hold of one in the U.K but it would be nice to hear of any abroad as a last resort. (shipping costs would be horrendous I would imagine.)
Cheers ~Tris.

Could you please give me the engine number and possibly a picture or 2 of the engine?

Find the anthracite/gray ebrake boot is a tough task, Tris. And I know more than a dozen owners searching for mint early hub caps as well.
One thing to consider: you can buy a black ebrake boot (much easier to find than an anthracite one) and paint it with anthracite spray paint from Wolfsburg West (SoCal). I've got two early black e-brake boots if you want to explore this option.
The only option for early hub caps is to have original ones rechromed. Most chrome shops will repair dents, scrapes, and minor rust issues included with the cost of chroming.

Ahhh, thanks for the tip Lee. I might well go down that route if I cant find any grey ones As for the engine, I do know someone who imports T2's from the states and is more than happy to load them up with spares, so it might well turn out to be a viable option after all. (if anyone has a spare)

30! Crickey I'd ideally like one made August '62. My car came with engine no 0070448 so if you have one near that number that would be great. I have an exhaust already so it isn't essential that it comes with one, but would be handy if it did.
