A few bits 1978 343

[thebear54]

Hello All...
Wondering if these small bits are available in the UK and could be shipped to the States to finish my 1978 Type 1 343.

1. Spare tyre strap, two piece rubber with metal clips

2. N/S interior windscreen panel which runs from dash to roof
as seen in photo.

3. Center hub cap for alloy wheel
as seen in photo.

I have just about given up on locating the Stainless Steel rear drip edge for the N/S due to ridiculous shipping prices.

Anyone know if those centre caps are the same as for Leos?

Nimminz, I still need to grab some dimensions from you for those bud, when would be a good time?

Hi John.
I have one of those A piller bits of trim but its of a mk3 i broke some time ago.
I could test fit it to my mk1 if you like and let you know.
Cheers Mark.

Cheers M8, that would be great. If it fits and is Black I would be interested.

Hi John.
I will get it from my parts stash on Monday and let you know.
Cheers Mark.

Hi John.
I managed to get to my parts stash today. I brought the A piller trim home and test fitted
to my bannana. Although there is slite differences, it is an exact fit .
Mine however are grey in colour but it would be only a matter of spraying them black.
As there is a slite difference to the front of them, you would need to have both sides.
Cheers Mark.

Outstanding Mark.
Let me know what you need to get for them and the postage...I can PayPal you the funds.

Cheers,
John

Now for the next bit....

Has anyone managed to locate the rubber tyre strap ?? ??
Or a center cap ?? ??

Or a center cap ?? ??

Might be worth sniffing around your own patch or even TurboBricks as those caps are in common with the 200 series of the day.

[thebear54]

I'll give that a try Rich...cheers M8.

Probably. The parts catalogue for V300s up to 1979 says:

GT Wheel, Hub cap plastic
CH 318092 - 409548 (283092-5)
409549 - (3293005-9)

From 1980 on, it's back to 283092 again, which is the same as hub caps on Leos, and on two types of Volvo 200 14x5.5 GT wheel:

see numbers 2 and 4


see numbers 3, 4 and 11


They're hard to get hold of, and I'm missing one too!

So if you happen to unearth a batch, please let me know.

Hi John.
I have sent you a PM.
Cheers Mark.

[Chris_C]

Cool, so the same as 200 too...

I'm still thinking of just lathing up a batch of Leo ones, just havn't ever seen one to know what it even looks like.

Hi John.
A piller trim is winging its way accross the pond.
Cheers Mark.
