    Crossover or not...

    Howdy, I've got a 72 bay and I've been puzzled since I bought it. I know its had a front end collision at some point as the cab floor was distorted a bit (I've replaced the floor now). I would therefore suspect that the front panel must have been damaged and maybe replaced. The question is...

    Carbs

    Howdy, I've got a 1835 that's quite lively in my 70 tiptop but it's let down by Chinese empi twin 40 webber copies. I can't get them running right and it's as lumpy as at the moment! What's my options regarding a swap? I could obviously get some genuine Weber's but what else could I consider...

    Rock and roll bed

    Got a rough and ready full width R&R bed surplus to requirements. It came with some other bits and I don't need it. The hinges look quite new and I'm sure a bit of foam and fabric is all that's needed to make a serviceable bed. £50? Can take to bugjam on Sunday?

    Clutch release bearing

    Howdy, Am I OK using a later style release bearing on an earlier box? It doesn't have the guide tube fitted to the bell housing, it does clip on to the arm quite well though? What's your thoughts? Ta.

    Rear bumper

    I thought I was sure but now I'm not! I always thought that a rear bumper for a 70 bay (us import) had diamond cut ends not slash cut. Some jockey at dubfreeze was trying to tell me they were slash, who's right? Thanks in advance!

    Engine mounts

    I've just got hold of a Cali import 70 bay. Someone stateside has in their infinite wisdom, cut off the engine mounts that the moustache bar bolts to!
