Anyone interested in some swapping?

Got a lot of cats Kim?
 
As I remember an 1/8 inch hole punch is just right.

One of the Mini guys (Cliff??) would probably love the original "Italian Job" . Fun entertainment and a BUNCH of Minis getting thrashed!!

What size SUs are the air filters for? I may be interested.

Ok back to the swap idea......I have said for years the problem with e-bay is I don't know what you want me to sell. I have parts form all kids of cars (1986 Toyota Supras, 1986 NIssan 300 ZX, 1990 Supra, 1980 NIssan 280zx then there's the midget stuff...steering wheel, horn hub, radiator from???? cracked windshields (2), weber carb cover and all sorts of misc stuff that I have picked up) I don't sell it cause it seems like I might need it, but if someone else had a use for it....I would love to see it go to the right person. I figure pay for shipping...its yours.
 
i REALLY need a front clip!
the big chuck between the fenders! ;(
also a front blinker lens and a
rear sidemarker......zimmmy
 
Thought I already posted this, but I don't see it so if it is a repeat, sorry!

Chris I am interested in the BE windshield glass and frame. Is it the early type (hood studs across the top) or the later BE type with a stud at each corner? If you are interested in a swap, either let me know your needs or I can make a list (a daunting task) of the stuff I have!

PS I need the two-stud type.
 
Zimmy,
I have a rear side marker. Yours for the cost of postage.
I'm fresh out of front lenses, but I do have the chrome retaining ring if you need it.
 
Anyone have a bugeye horn? You know the Beep beep one.
 
I have a horn, but I do not know if it is the beep beep one. How can I tell?
 
Hook it up, has a single contact and is grounded through the body. Is kind of small and has a flat peice of strap to mount it.

Don't know what else to say. Would be intrested for sure Trevor.
 
The one I have looks more like the windtone horns only slightly different.
 
Zimmy,

A "front clip" is fenders, hood, grill, etc.

I have the part that goes between the fenders in the front, a bit crusty but servicable (especially with some Slick Sand). I have a front blinker lens. I have several side markers.

Is this what you seek?

Think there is a pic in the Moss cat, Page 67, item 61.

I do have a later model one so is not critical at all. Thanks.
 
jack, I think I may have a horn, will look when I get back from work...
 
Zimmy, that grille arrived today, so I will have that and the surround to get to you.
I need to do some fancy plier work with the new grille first, make sure it fits in the mouth, then it should be good.
