Just acquired a HA Beagle Dormobile for restoration.Advice needed on availability of suspension bushes/rubbers front and rear (all of them probably) ...are they available?.....any commonality with HB or HC models?

I also need a passenger door with less-than terminal rust...can anyone help?

Suspension rubbers are getting a bit thin on the ground these days, and I haven't seen any for a while.
Pop Brown used to list them as they used HA axles on their hot rods, but not sure if they are still around.
I wish Supaflex or one of those Companies would make HA ones, I'm sure there would be a market!

As for the door, I believe they are the same as a normal van, so someone on here will have one I'm sure.

There's a guy called Steve, Bedford Bad, on this forum who is the Guru for HA vans and derivitives, he's your man.
Trouble is he is in the North East so carriage could be expensive!!

You show as London, whereabouts? I'm in Farnborough Hampshire just down the M3.

OK, don't know where I got the idea of a London location from? Anyway good luck with it.
My Daughter lives in Burntwood Staffordshire, not so far from you, so maybe we can have a meet up some time when I'm up there!

That's great Cliff.
I looked on their website a while back and, although they were listed as 3001 and 3002 I think? I couldn't access the price list.
That was before lockdown though!!
What price did they come out at in the end?
