Hi Mate,

In this day and age, you can have and find anything, the price is the issue.

With the advent of BREXIT the UK left the European Union, so everything is now taxed, even the shipping, which means prices are silly.

Fortunately, I am patient, and have a few acquaintances in Europe and The Netherlands who may be prepared to deliver bits for me.

Regarding the belts, it is missing the alternator belt etc, and what is fitted as a drive belt does not at all seem to be correct. Fox that, I do have a friend who may have access to the right belt equivalent here in the UK.

A used back door, with the glass that I need is around $250 plus excluding taxes and shipping, so for the rear glass I am investigating plant machinery glass.
It may not have the right codes stamped on it, but will be safety glass.
