Getting our 1200 back on the road

Post by msmith »

Hi all,
1st post!
Son had a run in with a rock wall on Dyers pass and we have just finished getting the family '73 1200 4dr panelbeaten and roadworthy again.
Last 2 items to get are a front left panel indicator light and a rear left door handle.
We are trying Cockrams, but wondered if any of you had the items lying about in a garage somewhere we could buy?
Thx

Welcome Smithie!
Do you need the side marker lamp off the gaurd, or the front combination parklight/indicator?

Welcome Smithie.
Would be great if you put up a build thread, always like seeing 1200s in the build.
Sorry I can't help with the light but am sure I can help with the handle :)

That would have been Kev10 (on this forum)
Or Kevin Page.
I'm 98% sure I have one of those lights. My number is in my profile. I'll let it go really cheap. (we gotta keep those datto's alive)
