Who Knows Where Time Goes?
....to quote the late Sandy Denny; I have been trying to write this since mid-December of last year!
Well, the New Year has made a stormy start, but I wish you all a peaceful New Year, and as one reflects on the past one, here’s some good news!!
REINTRODUCED PARTS; 2011 SUMMARY:
CFI Stainless steel blades and arms (pre ‘74)
CF2 Petrol Engine Breather hose
All models, rear door rubber surround
CA Mid-range the “bell end” top hose
Van fuel tank rubber connector
Vauxhall 4 speed bell housing, fork boot.
Pending CFI indicator stalk
UNIVERSAL FUEL TANK SENDER
CF11/2 CF2 1980-87 CFI models will need to be wired independently for CFI models 1969-80 and a separate gauge provided. After two and a half years we have, at last, located a reasonable priced answer to the problem!
THE LAST POST
Later this year will see the final use of MK Bedford trucks for the MoD 1968-2012, although one batch of five hundred is being retained to tow a generator trailer, as due to an oversight (the new German “MAN” cannot be coupled to it). The vast surplus number will now see service in Africa, a second life in the timber industry.
EXPANDING EXHAUST RANGE!
Due to the success of our Bedford CF/CA range we now offer, in stainless steel, the following systems:
Austin A60 full/part systems
Marina 1.7 1.8 1.3 tail box
1100/1300 Complete exhaust system, a most popular seller, many going abroad!
FUEL SYSTEMS
We now stock all Bedford fuel pumps and carbs, due to demand we now supply Jowett Javelin, Jupiter carbs, and Delco fuel pumps.
We rebuild Stromberg and Zenith systems.
After much work we are proud to be able to offer a 2300cc twin stromberg manual choke, all cables supplied. CD175, an after market fitting for Mk1 Panther Lima’s complete with a refurbished inlet manifold and fitting gaskets.
GEARBOX AND OVERDRIVE 2300cc
The last two!
We have available 2x Vauxhall 4 speed gearboxes and overdrives. These are fully reconditioned setups, and come complete with new switches and solenoids. The setup comes with a gear lever and switch.
