Hi Bob,
If you do get the drain plugs cast please keep me in mind for 2 sets. I would also be interested in the female hubs that are welded in to the hull.
I need one full set of these + a 2 extra of the large ones.

Best regards

Please add me to your list if you are going to make battery covers.

I could sure use a set.

I think I can help you with the rivits.
I will have a look at some originals, and machine up a batch on our CNC Lathe.

Hi Mithril, I have just completed the drawing for these, and I will have them finished ready to ship next week. These are new ones that have been based on the original factory drawings. (we just had to convert them to metric and make them as a blank instead of finished assemble drawings). Approximat...

Hi All Up date on the GPA exhaust systems. I found a great guy who has all the righjt equipment for bending the double bend in the manifold pipe.

Hi Tony,
Certainly there is a possibility that the modern 48mm bellow material may fit your original samples.

I will not be sure until I order in the bellow material. But with a bit of luck this could work.

I will keep you posted.

Hi All, I manage an engineering business that has all the machinery to make these pullers. I am happy to make a run of these as Raymund is kindly offering his drawings. Please let me know if you want one. The more we make in one go the lower the price will be for all. (one offs are expensive) Best r...

Hi All, My GPA was missing the control rod that runs across the front of the bow. This rod operates the air ducts and hatch. I have made some exact copies from an original. I have two overs for sale if any one needs one. Price $98.00US + shipping Best regards Richard Sanders http://i45.photobucket.c...

Hi,
On my GPA I used a normal GPW sender and a normal fuel guage.
All 6 volt. Then I added a resistor in series with the guage to take the voltage from 12v to 6v.

Hope this helps.
