Wreckers in Melbourne
Can anyone advise where I might be able to get a (or two) swivel seat base. I know about the gowesty recycle bin, but the price with postage is a bit extreme. Has anyone used a generic one? Also looking for a t2 wrecker in Melb for those sunraysia rims you see on the later bays. Any help greatly appreciated. Greg E

Les, very interested if you decide to sell, let me know. We need as much room as possible with two kids.
Francesca, Its good to know I am not the only one up to no good on a Friday night! About Lloyd, I actually bought my 2wd springs from him. Not the cheapest way of getting parts but certainly convenient. Had a good chat to him and even had a look at your blocked cat! He had bought a swivel new from vw in the 90's and sold it with his twin cab but had no others. Thanks for the offer though. Greg E

Greg,Not sure about shipping as it has been 10 years since I sent a seat swivel to OZ. I am betting I can get it shipped for less than what GoWesty will ship for. Besides their price for a used seat swivel is US$150 each. I can get them from my local wrecker for US$80 each.Your best bet is to get them locally for obvious reasons. If you can't persuade Les or find from a wrecker, I will be happy to assist you. Just a bit of forewarning though that if you commit to getting one, please follow through as I will be buying them from a vendor on your behalf at my cost. I have no need to buy one otherwise.Sorry for making that disclaimer. I've had a bad experience trying to help a couple of members in this forum to get parts only to find myself having paid for something I did not need when the other parties changed their mind about the purchase. As they say here, "No good deed goes unpunished." Since members in this forum have helped me, I try to give everyone the benefit of doubt the first time out.Incidentally, for a but more money, you can always try getting new ones from outfits such as Eurocampers.com. The owner Steve Lashley is a longtime member of the Vanagon List (forum) in the US. US$179.95 when in stock.Cheers,--
BenT
Thanks Ben, Its a very generous offer, if I can get one locally and avoid the shipping that would be best. If I do take you up on that offer I would only expect you to take action after I had paid in full. Thanks again. Greg E--- On Sun, 1/8/10, BenT Syncro <syncro@gmail.com> wrote: |

Thanks Neil, Let me know how much you want for them. The only problem I may have is getting them to Melb. Cheers Greg E--- On Mon, 2/8/10, neil smith <jackthebearau@yahoo.com> wrote: |

You know what is really frustrating Neil, the guy across the road has a rough t2 dormobile for sale that has a set on it. Also missed out on a set on ebay for $80!!! Will check out the wheel works though, thanks. Greg E--- On Mon, 2/8/10, neil smith <jackthebearau@yahoo.com> wrote: |
Just be aware when buying rough rims , I had mine painted recently at $ 100 a piece, so it’s worthwhile to get some idea what’s going to cost you before buying something ‘cheap’. Hartmut

No worries Greg, good luck, I think 15" Sunraysias will be hard to find in that stud pattern, you may have to get Eastern Wheel Works to make them if you are set on that idea.
