Turbosport1 on ebay. He's a bloke called pasquale and sells complete Panda 30 heads, including the short push rod tubes, carbs, etc. Good prices and he'll send you pictures of what you will actually receive before you pay. If you can't find what you need in his shop (well worth a visit for any 500 or 126 aircooler owner) then email him - he's very helpful.

hi all,panda 30 head,a few questions .......does the 126 650 valve gear fit on?,and what is involved in modifying the 126 push rod tubes to fit??.

I know how you feel Dave.I started my working career on Bedford truck's and now I spent most of my day in front of a lap top with the spanner's gathering dust in the box

You know I do still hanker after the old Bedford's.......wow that's sad :shock:

here is a tip for ayone fitting a panda 30 head,there are two engine case studs that come up in the intake throat of the panda head,you have to shorten them,but i came up with a wease.......take two bis studs and fit them to the aircooled block,they are the right length!.......... you can also nick some bis head acorn nuts to fit,smoother shape than a normal hex head:cool:

Dave,was wondering if you could put some more pis's of your 126 on line.I've only ever seen the one and it looks as cool as a cool thing.Bedford army truck eh now thats a bit of class.they used the same back axles and brake set up (I think) right up until the last AWD Bedfords in the early ninties.I did trucks for the first ten years,then moved to cars (trucks are heavier and oily but fun when not on them every day).Then did a couple of years in the Teritorals R.E.M.E (back on the Bedfords)I remember a lot of years ago doing a back spring on a cattle wagon and having a cow piss on my head :roll:
