Bristol 403 parts suplyer

[Rocket Roller]

Dear all,

Having recently purchased ex Stephen De'Ath's green Bristol 403 UPL566,
although the car is in a very good overall condition, I still am in need of
some parts.
So, I'm trying to locate supplyers on the following items:
Door rubber seals
Lucas PF770 headlamps complete with backshells
Triple Solex carbs repair kit: gaskets, etc.
Steering wheel refurbishers.
Any clues?,

Yours for longer engine roars

Try item number 120324097222 in ebay for the carb kit -- not sure if it's right for your car.

Hope this helps

Greg

You could try the following:-
Door seals - if Bristol Cars don't have them try Baines or Seals +Direct. You might find something similar with them.
Lucas PF770 headlamps - try Holdens
Solex carb repair kit - Carburettor Exchange. I got mine from them.
Steering Wheel Refurbishers - Myrtle Productions. They advertised recently on e-bay a restoration of the Bristol Bluemels wheel for 325GBP.
Also there is much useful information and sources for parts on the BOC Knowledge Base but you have to be a BOC member to use it.
Good luck,
Richard

Dear Richard,


Many thanks in advance.
As you said, in fact I am a BOC clubmember, having recently joined the Club
in late 2009.
I'll try the contacts you mentioned, and I'll keep you informed.
