How much do you want?

Thanks have now found a set local to me collecting next week. Do you want to part with the axle oil breather, understand if you want to leave it complete!

Any chance you have the plastic hooks that attach the parcel shelf lift strings to the rear hatch?  Or anyone know where you can get them/similar?

I bought the hatch at Mathewsons recently and all I can afford 😉

They are the weakest part of a hatchback haha. I think this is another part we need to get printed 🤣

100% 👍

If you’re happy with the results of the headlight screws, can you get these made?

Depends. The lad making those is doing it for a bit of fun. If he won’t make me a batch of them, I’m going to ask to buy his files on them so I can get them made somewhere else.

If we know why some parts fail is there an opportunity to tweak the design to reinforce the weak link? Or change to a more robust material?
 

I’m thinking out loud as I don’t have any knowledge in this field, but would it also be possible to make a set of parts all at the same time - like an Airfix kit?6F16BB62-8FB5-4ACC-A628-81AB131F86CE.gif.f89ae2b07fd8fcfee396e131c3b76d60.gif

If I knew what I was doing with a 3D scanner and printer I’d be making them already, however I’m utterly shite at technology and would end up launching a sledge hammer through it before it got out of the box.

Wayne, if they’re not U/V damaged & brittle any chance of buying a couple of them off you?

I don’t have any as the lights were cocked up ( bounded in ) One side is still bounded in not looking forward trying to remove the lights from the body housing

Hopefully they will get made.l have tried a few things that have not worked.

Am running out of ideas 

It would be good if they were. 

I think either Andrew or Kevin Abbot did a great write up with pics involving a cut threaded bar & strong glue but I can’t find it in the electrical section & the search function on the forum can be a bit poor.
