Hi blitz325i

The club spares store will have some of these parts, like gaskets, bearings and pistons, but you will need to know what sizes you need for the last two. You should not need rods or oil pump parts. You can get spares from the club here:

Hope this helps

;D Hi Steve. I don't know if this suggestion will be any good to you, but I read an article some time ago from someone with a similar problem, of no wheels. It seemed he "made"a set of temporary wheels, cut from thick wood, probably plywood, in order to be able to move the thing about. Aparently it did the job. Regards, Tina.

Hello Tina

Thanks for the thought somebody else mentioned that and it is something I may have to do but I have a little while yet until things start to get critical.


Regards

Steve.

Hi Steve. Just another thought on your need to move the car around. About 'Plenty' years ago, I used to help a friend with doing bodywork in his not too big garage workshop, and when we needed to move a car about that had no wheels on, we used to use two leaver arm jacks, front and rear, with an assistant to balance it at the side, and we could shove it about to where it was needed quite easily, and then put it back on the axel stands in it's new position. Could you perhaps do that? Tina

Hi. Just an add on to Tina's idea. A club member did a similar thing with a trolley jack front and back and a strong plank of wood across the car widthways along axle. He had four cars in one large garage but when needing to manouvre them about that was the way to do it. Regards Ian.
