I'm trying to source a pair of the rubber seals that fit between the rear lights (Hillman Minx type) and the bodywork. Does anyone have any spare or know of a source without buying complete lamps? Any help would be greatly appreciated

It is with much sadness I report the passing of ACOC member Barry Dodd CBE in a helicopter accident in North Yorkshire yesterday. He was one of the worlds nicest people and will be greatly missed by many. Condolences to his wife Frances and family.

I'm open to any suggestions as to what may have been fitted during its year as a development car the factory. Cast below 12/3HP on the current unit is 64326218

Thanks to all who viewed this post. I've now sourced a suitable donor temperature gauge. Please view the small ads on the web site for other parts required.

Thanks again to all the club members who have helped me so far with parts and advice in relation to the restoration of CS2030. I look forward to meeting some of you personally for the fist time at The National Weekend. I will have the car with me and will welcome any comments or suggestions or further advice regarding its restoration to original specification. As I have such a good reference point for the restoration of the dashboard (above - see picture of the dashboard of CS2030 which were used in the drivers handbook)I would be most grateful if anyone could point me in the direction of any similar original instruments (working or not)

Many thanks Laurence

With the massive amount of help I have received so far from club members I have been able to establish details of many suppliers of reproduction parts but I am keen to source as many original items as possible. I am aware of the fact that they are in short supply but If any one has any that they would be happy to part with for a genuine car, I would appreciate the opportunity to purchase them. Likewise if anyone can give me any leads to any parts I would be most grateful
   
   Most of the running gear is serviceable but I am keen to source an early 260 motor. I require almost everything for the interior. A picture of my dashboard when new is shown earlier in this thread.
   
   Thanks again for all the help I have received so far.

I would like to say an enormous thank you to everyone in the club who has given me expert guidance and invaluable information and support  before and since the purchase of CS2030.
   
   I will be returning the car to as original specification as possible. I have been amazed by the number of pictures received from club members of the car while in the possession of AC Cars. They will be a massive help during the course of the restoration.
   
   I look forward to doing justice to this very special car and meeting the people who have helped me so much and haven't already met in the near future.

Wanted for CS2030 - off side rear brake caliper. Girling 12/3HP. Any assistance in locating a good original unit would be greatly appreciated. I believe that 3000ME uses the same unit.

I am trying to source or construct a correct capillary type water temperature gauge for my 1962 260 Cobra. The model number of the item originally fitted was TG1501/20 and had a temperature range of 30-100 degrees.
   The script on the face of a donor unit isn't important as this can be replaced. The important element is the temperature range, units with a max temp range up to 110 and 140 are readily available both new and second-hand but 100 seems to be hard to find.
   I would greatly appreciate any help in finding a suitable donor - working or not.
   A picture of the original dashboard and gauge can be found in the earlier post entitled CS2030

Not sure if anyone has posted this already, forgive me if they have. Where is RB38 now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baXisgiiA70&feature=youtu.be

Would anyone know of a code or match for original Cobra colour - Svecia Red?
