VBOA spares day, flogg it and buy it! 11th March

Postby Fred Dukes » Fri Mar 09, 2007 10:39 am

Paul,
I will be there - looking for door cards for 2 door Viva/ Firenza and front calipers for slant 4 engined machines (fit 9" discs?).
PS - I will sort out bits for 2300 exhaust system as Steve suggested.

Paul - it is the SL full card which hooks over the top of the door button. The ones on the Firenza I bought have the raised moulding with the plastic insert whic forms the door handle. Needless to say the raised moulding has started to break up as they usually do. I do have a set of black cards which fall short of the window by about 2 - 3 inches. I could fit those but dont know how to finish the inside window to door seal. Would also need a pair of screw on handles.

Do I get the distressing impression that the full SL style door cards (in the charming pale brown for a 4 door) are not common as muck? Only they're really manky in mine...
