This July we are delivering our hardtop to its new owner in the UK. Whilst sorting out the component parts for the hardtop, we found various parts that may help other 40 series owners. Most parts are new and I guess I need to list them in the classifieds section.
I know how much I want for each piece which is less than the original cost once you have taken shipping, duty and vat into account as most of them originated in the States (long before emporiums in Europe were selling 40 series stuff).
Those of you who have read 'Evolution of my 40' will know that when we purchased our truck it had no doors. We searched and searched - replica steel or fibreglass were expensive and only available (back then) from the USA and by the time the duties etc were paid we'd have needed a second mortgage to afford them. So we purchased a set of aluminium half doors with all the bits but before we fitted them we found a new set of original doors. But if someone is building an extreme 40 these ali doors are the business.
