Hello All

Am seeking an off-side front headlamp wiper arm (complete)..
also two gas struts for the tailgate on a 340 GL (in g.w.o obviously).?

Anyone know of where I might get these?

Hi mate...

Have you tried looking around scrapyards? Every scrappie always has at least one 300 in (as much as it pains me to say it :( )

I'm going tomorrow, I'll have a look for you.

Try German, Swedish and French car parts http://www.gsfcarparts.com/, I got them for my car - nice to have a tailgate that stays up strongly! You'll have to extend the bootlight switch to make contact with the shorter strut cylinder/housing, easy though!

Hello Tom

No I havent trolled the scrppers yet.. only got the car a week ago; but just thought someone may have some sitting on the shelf.

I will take a peek around.. but really appreciate the offer to eyeball for me.. most considerate sm4

More than happy to send you some cash (plus some for a beer or two) if you find anything.

Thanks SteveP

Got that link for the FG&S Car parts.. I have heard of them and got some bits in the past when I was "into" the V-Dub scene (had a VW Carravelle Transporter.. Customised.. Silver.. black windows.. LP Alloys.. fully kitted as a passion wagon.. 8) ahh those were the days! )

Thanks for the tip..
