Hi Rob, Thanks for the reply. Well, well you were right to query my thickness measurement because the actual measurement is 1.5mm. :D I had to brush up my micrometer reading skills. Definitely 1.5mm. No possibility of getting the "U" section for profiling job. Although flat plate might be ...

Hi Rob, Thanks for the reply. I will speak with those people you mention but their range does not appear to cover the "low light" styling. They do appear to be in stainless steel however. Not certain of the material quality or origin of manufactured. I've taken a measurement of the materia...

Hi Rob, Thanks for your interest in my quarter light issue. This issue remains outstanding. In the end I did not bid on the pair on eBay as I was not certain after speaking with ByranG (sparesman) that they were in fact the same profile for my 1949 Low Light. Perhaps I was too cautious in this case....

HI Rob, Man I'm totally gutted. But if you hear of or discover anything further please do let me know. Still got one quarter light (Pside) to find prior to chroming entire frames. Cheers for now.....Regards.....spike

Hi Rob, I'm only just now returning to this issue since we are now into February 2018. This matter has not moved on since my last post so your Oct post really caught my eye. Seems you might have something(s) to fit my needs. That is passenger side quarterlight and suitable rubbers. Please can you se...

Hi Rod, Thanks for the informative reply. Yes, I also currently have stainless steel door frames but stumbled on the old previously chrome plated frames recently. These have presented a few issues as we strive for originality. If you come across the steel frame mentioned please further advise. Plumb...

Hi Plumby74, Thanks so much for the reply which sounds very encouraging. The damaged quarterlight frame is from the passenger side. There are some "specifics" relating to the lowlight MM when compared with the later 2door quarterlight arrangement. The type (half moon) and position of the c...

Greetings. I have a pair of door surrounds for my 1949 lowlight Saloon soon to be polished and rechromed however one of the quarterlight frames needs to be refurbished due to severe corrosion in the usual place.

Hiya, I have been reading some SALE/ WANTED posts recently and it is is obvious that in some cases the member has attached photos. However within the text of the post it simply states Image. This cannot be opened. Is this the fault of the member attaching their photos or is there some remaining Mess...

Hi Louise, Many thanks for the reply and the very interesting information. Looks like you outlined my necessary course of action. So I'll see what I can find amongst the membership. If any members do have a 4 door drivers side door handle with good condition lock and key then I may well be very inte...

Please can you help. I'm trying to find the drivers door key number for my 1970 Pick Up. To be honest without much luck so far and wondered if at the time of manufacture a list or record was kept of the key number allocated for the ignition and drivers door. And can we get access to such a list. If ...

There is so much experience within the membership which might help me choose the right and most suitable differential to use with the FIAT 2.0l engine. The rear wheels are 14" on a standard minor rear axle. Presently we have the 4.22:1 ratio diff fitted and during recent trails we just feel the...
