126 Bits & Bobs
« on: January 31, 2010, 08:58:05 AM »
 :) Over the years , apart from owning & running a number of 126s , I have also dismantled a couple of write off cars. I never throw anything away unless it is scrap & many popular parts have been sold either through want ads on this forum or eBay. I have lost track of the countries I have shipped to but they include the US & Oz. I have a part dismantled air cooled in my garage which is due for it's final strip down in the near future. a few bits are spoken for already plus I will be keeping parts that will fit my Fiat 500. Despite this there should be some parts up for grabs. So no part is too small or too large , just let me know if you need anything  [-/

Hello. Have you got used rear trailing arms in good condition for a 126? I also need that part behind the drums attached to the rear trailing arms.

Have you got any chrome trim bits? (Windscreen and side window trim, door handles, bonnet lock, wiper arms etc.)

No spare starter motors at the moment in fact I bought spare 500 & a 126 cable pull types on eBay as back up spares . Also you can buy new all of the parts you need to overhaul a knackered one so with a little forward planning they are no problem.
I am not sure , until I get them off , what the condition of the rear suspension arms & I assume you are referring to the brake backing plates are but you can get a brand new pair of each for about 100 euros + carriage which I guess would be better than getting a rusty old set and paying to have them blasted & powder coated.
Some ones' got a thing for bling then  ;) when you say chrome door handles are you talking about the outer ones that have the stainless centre handle ?
Side window trim is alluminium unless you are talking about quarterlights on some cars and do you mean engine cover lock ?
Looking for wiper  parts , may have some stainless ones  [-/

Yes, it is the brake backing plate I was referring to. My other 126's brake backing plates on the front and rear are knackered. I did not know you could still buy them, thought the plated were welded to the trailing/control arms. Many thanks. I would have been lost without the help of forum members like yourself. Many thanks again.

Checked out Axel Gerstl. It brake backing plates are Euro39 each excl pp.

I have found a pair of stainless wipers & arms that look ok. I have some ally window surounds & the door handles. If you PM me with an e-mail address I can send pics.
www.126fan are listing brake backing plates for 11 euros and rear suspension arms for 39.5 euros.  [-/

Hello. It might be useful to list all the bits and bits you have for sale. I may want to buy some items as spares.

Sadly as a long time car nut / enthusiast if I started to make a list of parts that I have I would probably get it sorted in about a year , if I had no distractions  ::)
Then if an item sold the list would be out of date  :cry:
My list would include generic classic motor parts like Lucas etc, pre war Talbot , Sunbeam Talbot , Hillman parts . Later Austin Healey , MG , Morris & Austin then I could start on the Fiat 500 & 126 list.
Do not worry because I have been asked for lists so many times for different car makes over the years but as an enthusiast as opposed to a computer controlled motor factors it just ain't possible but if you have busted that little clip that is behind that special grommet then I might just have it  :)
