Re: Accelerator cable replacement and idle

Re: Accelerator cable replacement and idle

Re: Westy pop top hardware paint code

Ral7032 seems to be a good match. I've ordered a can and will see how well it matches.

Re: The anatomy of a winding window?

Sorry for digging up and old thread, but the window scrapers on my Westy have perished and I need to order some replacements. Can anyone point me in the direction of the scrapers which have the chrome strip as the only ones I can find are just black and id lose the original look.
