Feasibility of finding parts in 2020
Posted: Wed Feb 12, 2020 7:15 am
Have been driving past an SS40T that lives under a lean-to up near me. She has no major rust (just a bit of surface in the tray from load shifting), legit one old lady owner with 168k on the clock. Unfortunately, the owner passed sometime in the last couple years and it has been sitting unattended since. She was a sweet old thing and always good for a yarn.
I am currently seeking quotes from parts shops for an almost complete refit to give her a big refresh before I jump in to actually purchasing, but have come up short on some parts. Mostly, the issue are the suspension bushes, spark leads as well as radiator and heater hoses. Hoses i can most likely swap like for like or modify to suit, but the others asre concerning. Also not sure how I would go for a new clutch kit and brake cylinders.
I would prefer to keep her completely original if I can and am hoping someone has an idea who would be good for parts.
Cheers.
