I now have all brake parts except the handbrake rod!!
Ive just bought another near complete cabel brake system, (dont ask i now have enough parts for nearly 3 cars!) offered him £100 and this was his reply:
Hi Lee
It is probably not often that you hear this. I am an enthusiast and I love what you are doing to the 49, so I would actually be happy with £75 for the lot (it is the figure I had in mind and I am not after profit, just covering my own outlay) so if that suits you, I will bring it all to Stanford Hall and arrange to meet with you there.
Now that is not something that happens every day, if your (the seller)reading this then thankyou again.
COME ON GUYS HELP ME FIND THE HANDBRAKE ROD
