Dear Malcolm,

I understand and accept why you are doing it the way you are, enough said mate.

I hold my own spare parts supply as I have elected to sacrifice my second vehicle as the long term spares for the first. I might trade with you guys, we can do that privately off the forum.

As far as spares being sourced locally, I sourced all the parts for my gearbox rebuild from this side of the pond, seals and bearings just by matching OD / ID / Height and style. We made our own gaskets etc and used industry accepted sealants of an equivalent quality.

I need a garage stood before I can go further.

Things like brake shoes I will have relined if I need to when I get there. I am having a Land Rover master cylinder stainless (for work's vehicle collection) sleeved at John Stuart Power Brake in Ontario. There is a lot more that can be done without UK sourcing than people imagine.

Glad to hear your making progress.

I am actually a member of the Ferret Club in case you didn't know!

Regards

Robin
