i got them a while back from fastair :?: i can see if we can get some more :?: i still have some here somewhere :?: if i find them i will not need the part no. here is the catch you need 6 per car and they only come in packs of four. maybe if we want them we can have show of hands who wants them and order enough to split into sets of 6.
I will contact fastair and see if they are willing to bring parts still. They say they no longer do it but last time i asked where they got there parts from seemed they no longer dealt in isuzu parts they were not willing to pass the info on. When i qusetioned why as they no longer did it he spoke to his boss the deal was if i could give a part number and pay when they confirmed the availability they would supply.
bottom line is if i approach this company and hagle them to place a order i need support. Better still if anything anyone wants put it on this thread in the next few days Davo has a parts book. I would get a price upon confirmation of price i would request payment and do a 1 off bulk order if they are willing to play the game. Failing this i will attempt to find where they used to get them as i will be in japan in may.

I can try doing a mold of them if you still have some new one, Gt orph.
must not be too hard to get the little beggers into some clay and do a 2 part pour and repeat.


let me know if you cant source new ones. i can send you a few sets for use of the originals

I bought some new ones on yahoo japan, they came as a set with 2 adjustable screws for the bonnet rest, they were expensive and came a set of four and six are needed for each car.
Oz.............. mine are almost new, and I am prepared to send you one to copy if you wish.
Cheers Geoff

I have a 1967 Bellett.
I contacted Scotts Old Auto Rubbers last week as Isuzu Bellett listed on web site for rubber part 232.006 (see pics in above posts) but they don't look like what I have!
Emailed them and got this reply :o :

232.006 $1.76 each x 12 + post $6.60. No idea if need trimming, see at,

http://www.scottsoldautorubber.com.au/grommets30.gif

Thankyou,

Scott.
Website says need trimming but Scott doesn't know :o
I don't know if they fit and postage cost! :roll:
Anyone in melbourne follow up please ;)

Also I'm looking for the two rubber top rests where bonnet seals when shut, plus those two rubbers behind that on the chassis.

Also looking for two boot lid rests rubbers.

Hey Davo
Thanks for the welcome 8-) I'm in Sydney NSW and had a lot of support to date from 1968GT aka dave M.... :)
I'll post some of my photos of car in appropriate section soon, but still needs some finishing work :lol:
I'll post more parts I'm looking for in the Wanted section.

I'm in the wine business so hence the avatar "LOOK" :roll: It's actually a picture of me, the face painted on a Green Lipped Mussel shell, and rest on canvas. :lol:
Enough about me, back to Bellett

Marvo :mrgreen:

lads....
there's one for a Chyrsler Royal that's so close to exactly the same that it doesn't matter.
most car rubber joints have them, and they're worth nothing.
i put them in my Wasp years ago when i resto'd it.
my GT has LC-LJ Torana ones. they are a round pad sort of thing, without the little vertical piece. again, easy to get and worth nothing.
