For a 1971 car, I would need the glove box cylinder with keys and the glove box housing. Of course, good used parts are OK. It seems that the housing was used for some years, but the cylinder only for 1971 and 1975. However, the customer is not too difficult; he just would like a glove box staying closed during driving.
He would like also the name plate “8.2 Litre” located on the front fender. As this item is a one year only, it may be difficult to find.

For a 1975 Eldo, I would need the motor for the pull-down unit. This is the part 9678085 from the group 12.243R; it was used on all models from 1974 to 1976 and on 1977 & 78 Eldos models.

Roger, while you're handy...I called the yard yesterday and the guy was "alone." He got your pictures and will try to check on Monday. (Seville cover plates.)

Thanks Barry! Indeed, I gave that phone number to one of my regular parts supplier; usually he is reliable; maybe he had no luck with the yard. Let see what your correspondant will find (or not)!

Thanks! I will suggest that to the customer. It's a French guy, turning more than twice his Euros coins; I doubt that he will bite, but who knows! I'll let you know. I know that searching for the motor alone is rather elusive; i just can try.

G'day Roger,

I have the 8.2 Litre badge from the '71 Eldo I stripped in NY and I will have to "dig it out" of my parts stash.

Will advise when I find it.

That's interesting Bruce! From what I'm searching now, I was thinking it will be the most difficult part to get. Take your time, there is no urgency.

Not yet, but haven't forgotten.

You should see what I have to delve through to access where I put it.

Bruce, I do spare you some work: I found one at a fair price.

Small parts have to be stored in front of larger ones!
