Oh dear! Try the factory first thing Monday. Also, try Real Steel. Do you have a part number? I was in need of one a while back and managed to scrounge one of a fellow builder (cheers Andy ) Better it goes now than half way down on Wednesday.

I have an old spare one but not sure if it is the same type. Mine fits low down.

Well done Factory. The level of service I have myself experienced.

I'm confused.
Will there be a Factory car/cars there? How are they getting there? Who will be with them?

Dear Ultima Factory

I believe I have a solution. Graham and yourself car can sleep in the tent of the person you sold that "engine " too.

Regards

Trading standards!
