Thanks Alex, I think I will order cork ones to be as close to original as possible.
I want to order also gasket set for the engine from them. I think part no. FS-181 is correct one for my engine.

What do You think about mirrors Dirk has for sale ? Ok for my cab?

Jacek,

What do You think about mirrors Dirk has for sale ? Ok for my cab?

Yes, those are the correct mirrors. Cab11, 12 and 13 all use this type of mirror.

FS-181 should indeed be the correct gasket set for your engine.

I think you will need a puller to remove your steering wheel, but I am just guessing here as I also still have to remove mine. Is your horn button still in one piece?

I need advice which paint to use for frame , brand (manufacturer) and color (code), paint must be available in Europe.

We have problem with separating leaf springs from rear axle, nothing we tried worked, any fresh ideas how to do it ?

Personally for safety after reassembly I would cut the U bolts and have new ones made.

Original color of my vehicle was khaki green I think. I want to paint it in desert camo pattern as on attached photo.
So first idea is to use :
- khaki green for chassis , axles , cab interior
- BSC. No. 61 LIGHT STONE and S.C.C. No. 2
sugestions welcomed.
