Mike,
Thanks a million for the generous n sweet offer. Unfortunately its
practically impossible to ship parts in one piece or at a reasonable cost to
this part of the world.
The adage of beggars not being the choosers...aaah! we are reminded of it
with painful frequency every now and then.
So far I have managed to locate a very nice original rear towel rail
bumper with the irons and two front sets. One of the front is good only for
experimentation with chroming n what not, other is fair to use.
I also am tempted to fit blades with the Euro over riders and have
collected odd over riders, in various degrees of wear n tear from the yard
again, over the years (Sigh!).
My project has a long way to go, in fact it needs to start in earnest.
Lets see what happens once it nears completion.
Regards,
Asad
Karachi, Pakistan.
