This is the ex-Lewis Hemi-6 powered Mark 7 of Bryan B's, all kitted up with SA rego etc. and about to go home to Adelaide. But what I wanted to show you were these lights. They were designed to go on that little raised up bit on Mark 7s and were from 1966 Toyota Crowns. As it turns out, they were also on some old Hilux utes. Anyway, these days they are like hens' teeth, no-one could find them anywhere. No-one that is, except Simon Wells, who has discovered a mob in Bangkok that are making them and selling them for $15 a pair plus $12 postage. How's that!
This is the amount of rubber (295s) that is put to the road. Looks good and fills the flares quite nicely. It's about to get new rear tyres and different tail lights. The custom fuel tank looks good too. Keep an eye out for it on the Peter Lehmann run on Sunday.

Who is that one eyed photographer with the stereo camera?
In the first pic, if you make a nose out of the black dot, im sure i can see a hampster taking the photo!
John, I know its not relevant to this post, but I just noticed, for the Buchannan fanciers, on the VHRR website, that there will be an Aston Martin DB3S at Phillip Island.

By the way Hilux RN10
$19 / pair
$15 p&h
Bangkok Parts
$ 19 = 580 baht. I will go see these people this week to see if we can get a better price. P & H would also be better in bulk. Given the millions of Hilux old and new in Thailand and the rest of asia does not surprise me these lights are still made and sold.
I have seen something very similar on early Magnas.
Picked up a pair a year ago and gave them to Ron.
