Has anyone gotten a Series 1 front bumper from Craddocks? Any idea of quality, correct dimensions, fit? They list the one I need by the Series 1 part number but don't have a picture. Just wanted to know before I purchased and had it shipped to US. Thanks, Bil

Thank you Jason. I have heard that Britpart was not good. I have two choices over here-one is the Girling and the other is the Delphi. Like everything, money is the issue. I am still sourcing and pricing parts. I do really aprreciate your help. Like I said, one step at a time. Best regards, Bilbo

Thanks jcuk. I was really hoping that the parts numbers matched. Yea!!! You are correct about the numbers being different for Left and Right though on the wheel cylinders. Not a typo. I checked my book again. Mine happens to be RH drive. I am going to hope it is a LH/RH drive deal or maybe...

Well, I guess I am off base with this question. Sorry to the 106 people who took the time to open the post (maybe even some who needed the same question answered I did). Best regards, Bilbo

Well, as far as originality, it looks to have the original brake system configuration and the parts all seem to be in the right places. I'm not quite sure what I can show you in pictures, but I will try. The arrangement of the parts are exactly the same as the Series 1 Workshop Manual diagram...

Come on guys. At least comment. Is this something that everyone already knows except me or what? Thanks, Bil

Hi all. Most of the brake componets on my 1957 Series 1 88" with 10" drums are shot and I am trying to get new parts here in the States to rebuild them. Most people over here don't carry Series 1 stuff but they do handle Series II and later. Will someone with a Series II Parts Book please...

. I like that. Thanks for the info. I'm not worried about the guys at the show-I just want it right as I can research it. there is always going to be someone who will quote something..yadah, yahdah yadah! Thanks, Best regards, Bil (apparently a Merkin of some sort!!)

Thanks Ducttape for the reply. I hope you never make it to Senior Member-it seems like it has a certain detrimental effect on your sense of humor!

Hello everyone. I just got a RHD lightweight 1974 that I want to drive in parades etc and dispaly at military gatherings. I will probably be the only one there with a British vehicle in my neck of the woods. I am is the south eastern US. I have see a great number of lightweights on the net...
