Hello all,
Hope everybody is wading successfully through the holiday season. Here's
something to take your mind off the overindulgence of this time of year.....
I am presently working on a very early Longbridge built 100/Six, in fact she's
Body 326, built 25 October, 1956. This is a complete ground up restoration of
the highest order possible and an tring to get everything exactly right. I am
needing a few pieces that are not commercially available. Therefore I'm
turning to this terrific list for help. (how's that for groveling?)
I need to find a workable pair of exterior door handles, the early flat pull
series with the lock on the left one. Left handle with lock would be part
number 14B 7486
I also need an original design single tube tail pipe. I was lucky to find an
original Burgess 2 in / 1 out muffler, so this would be the pipe that goes
with it. This would be part number 11B 2126, used up until car 48862. I know I
can probably get one custom bent, etc. but if there's an original lying about
out there, that needs to go to "the right car", I need to at least ask.
I also am looking for the earliest series of engine hood (bonnet) that has a
plain skin that actually precedes the commonly seen raised pressing style.
It's also different than the later plain bonnets in that it wouldn't yet have
the inner strengthening brace that was applied later. It would be easy to spot
because it would be a plain surface, yet have the bonnet prop rod mounting on
the left side (carburetor side) of the car.
I need the mounting bracket for the glass windscreen washer jar, part number
17H 581.
Last, I need to find the early Trafalgar windscreen washer pump, part number
17H 577.
I realize and understand that these pieces are literally collectors items, but
I have to ask...
Regards,
Rich Chrysler
