In regards to the ebay link above. Is that a decent price for a set of them? It seems a little steep. :Chin:

note they are for a coupe...yes its a good price...for my hq ls350 coupe i recently paid 1k for the 2 front belts only..they were new old stock and red..which cant be purchased recoed...
i have been selling buckles and clasps only for $55 each to suit reco for years and have now ran out..
the only place in australia that can reweb your belts to adr specs is in perth..the place in perth only re webs they dont reco the buckles and clasps..
the work that goes into recoeing parts like these is a fair bit so price comes along with that.

generally those rainsford buckles are only in hq statesmans..

i will agree with al..james is very knowledgable,very helpful and a nice guy to talk to...if you want perfect belts i would just go with james and get a pair of his recoes...and yes that buckle is the style you need..
Yep..... if you want top quality it comes with a price tag...
Totally agree with Al and Oz, I have spoken and dealt with James and he is extremely helpful and a very nice guy to talk to.... I would recommend any of his stuff.

:gday:Thanks crew, im not gonna hold back on quality for the touchs ups ill do on the Panno so it looks like thats what it will cost, gonna take a few years to get this stuff done and to find the right bits but soo worth it in the long run to have it in full glory, after that will be the Dash and having it recoated etc,
Next query
Where to for the dash resto?? any hints tips questions etc???Am in Tassie too dont forget, i understand ill prob have to have it sent away but as close to home will be good?
I promise in a few years after the engine rebuild and its all finished ill drive her up from Tassie to the melbourne meet to share with ya'll in appreciation for your help and advice, your definatelly passing the torch down to the next gen thats for sure !!
Ill make sure to shout a few (x10) rounds as well!!
Cheers
what part of the dash resto are you talking...????
dash pad?..if so you currently need to send yours to have redone and this costs $550 without freight to and from melbourne..it also needs to be a perfect core unit as in the plastic frame of the dash pad cannot be warped or badly cracked..if you are talking a couple of years to do this stuff i know for a fact that reproduction dash pads are being done..price unknown at this stage..
dash fascia?..i have perfect replica fascias in black at better prices than others can supply to mysandman forum regulars..
Greg, are the translucent painted over chrome ones still being done? I've only seen the black natural and the bright chrome ones on Ebay for a while now.
