I'm proud to announce the #22 edition now that it's the first of November. We have another 34 pages of owner’s stories, restoration updates, toys, new parts sources, and a fantastic Autumn Meet held last weekend in Belgium. This edition has features from Germany, Italy, America, Belgium, Netherlands, France, & New Zealand. Many thanks to everyone that contributed … it’s a team effort to keep the worldwide T34 activity strong! And a special thanks to Bob Walton for creating the compressed PDF for us. www.leehedges.com/t34/t34world/t34worldnews2012no22.pdfAttachments:

Is there a page somewhere with an index of all of the repro parts that are available and the contact/payment info?

Nope, you have to pay attention for features in the magazine and ask questions to the Forum group to see where there are sources for the parts you're searching for. I tried to keep track of all the sources for all the parts and it got to be too time-consuming & difficult to manage.
For instance, ISP West used to see the longer T3 extrusions for the front & rear hood seals. Now they don't ...

Makes sense to me; sometimes I'm just too lazy for my own good  |

FWIW, the non-sunroof headliner kit is now €310

Another option to consider: Art Covert in Michigan USA has a trim shop that'll make a T34 Coupe headliner for much less. I seriously doubt it'll be as accurate as Jurgen's, but it's a less-expensive option for those owners that don't need it to be authentic (color, seams, pattern, pillars, etc).

I got 1 of those latch hooks from Brian Lewis. It's the stainless steel version. The part looks very good (although a little sharp from the cutting process  ), and is an exact copy of the original (I compared it with my own T-34 part). When Brian mentioned he was going to do these, I asked for 1, since I knew the trouble he went thru trying to get a replacement. And as a good friend of mine once said, T-34 owners have a tendency to get T-34 parts when they're available, because you never know how long they'll be available. Anyway, the part looks very good, has all of the correct features, and should last a very long time. Thank You Brian for doing these.  |
