So I just saw these on ebay...
item number; 270397818217
links to some pictures

So I have a few questions...

1st; What else would I need besides what's in the picture?

2nd; Would it be a "simple" bolt on situation? (after some rebuilding...)

3rd; Any opinions on their condition? What would be a good price?

I haven't spent any money on the Little Car in a while, so I don't want it to start to feel neglected...

It looks like all the parts are technically there, but the problem could be the shape of the parts. At a bare minimum, one should rebuild the calipers, new hoses, new bushings, new bearings, and seals. It is common for the lower fulcrum bolt to be worn, frozen, etc. I guess what I'm saying is that based on the questionable condition of the parts, it could be straight forward, or you could find yourself having to find more "hard" parts.

Well.... It seems the guy pulled the auction...

They initially had a "buy it now" price of $125, and the bidding was at $68 when I last looked and shipping would have been about $50.

ps thanks for the information... even if I could not act upon it.
