... Looks like Born Built Beauties would have all these available ?
Keep on motoring.... Dave

The busjes are still available!

I am noticing that there is less and less activity on the forum.
Is there anyone left with a running 300?

Inner sills where only made as a complete section (going around the complete door opening).
I have not seen one in the last 25 years, not exaggerating (!!), so your best bet is to make a repair pannel yourself or get a part from a scrapper.

I am also keen to see a pic of the hoses mentioned....

The clutches for the CVT and the manual on the 1.4 are different.
The clutches for the D16 and B172 can sadly enough not be used on the 1.4
Yes they did create a head ache....

Welcome to the forum!!

The actual handles are different per door (left and right hand side front (with a lock) and left and right hand side rear (without a lock) ), but the seals in between the door and the door handle are identical.

Also a good place to look is www.Born-Built-Beauties.eu
Plenty of parts.
Looking in the UK, it is probably good to put an ad on this site and the fb forums.

Where are you from?
On the continent you can also try Born-Built-Beauties in Belgium.

I am very glad to anounce that BBB has just released the spring shackle rubber mounting bush 3100556 and the spring eye rubber bushes 3266045 (up to ch -435624) and 3101000 (all versions) for the 300 series.
310556 and 3101000 are fresh new rubber, 3266045 is original NOS.

Have you tried Born-Built-Beauties?

Glad to hear all is ok now!!

Excellent find!!
That should solve Erik's problem.
Have you tried them?

Ahh Rotterdam, I pass it on the way to the Hague from time to time
