i needed a Battery for my bus **was swapping from my car to the bus and vice versa

gets a bitt irritating at times

got 1 of the bin digger **trolly guys** passing my house on saturday morning as he stoped to ask me for some change

i saw a battery in the trolly so i asked him how much wold he get for it at the scrap yard
his answer was R10

so i thaught what the hell here is a R15 give it to me **he was over the Moon

took it in charged it on my car for about 5 minuts & guess what ......been driving with it my car ever since !!!!!!! :hangloose: :hangloose: :hangloose: **Im over The Moon in excitement !!!!
I would think that is a score!! not a bad investment, one day when the battery is stuffed you can go recycle it and get R10 for it...

Hi Volks

I have has a very fruitful month VW accessory hunting... Thought I will update here as I have not done so for a very long time.

I scored the following:

1) I needed a horn push replacement for the EMPI coach steering wheel I got from Pine.. problem is they cost from $80 for a repro to $500 for OEM. Did some research and discovered that the exact same horn push was used on the Datsun Z cars. Got one off Ebay for $9 including shipping !! Just need to replace the Datsun logo with the EMPI one.. easy!

2)Picked up a good condition Hella spotlight mirror on Ebay at a very good price...

3)On the Samba i picked up 5 NOS metal BRM centre caps. These normally go for $80 - $100 each. I paid $60 for all 5 inclusive of shipping from Germany... bargain of the month for me!

4)Off gumtree, a Hazet 4 tier "Assistent" tool trolley with a full set of tools and "2 blue flat boxes of tools" as my mate in PE who is storing them for me so long says... cant wait to see those 2 flat boxes myself...

5) Off gumtree again, a VW Hazet spare wheel tool kit in very good condition, with all the tools intact, and most of them still have the Hazet decal on the metal... :shock:

So, the VW tool kit I have looks like its going up for sale... Will post a new advert here soon under Parts...

WOW ! man - some nice "stuff" there Muds.
The Hella mirror/spot light, does it screw onto the door itself ? Can one not clamp it onto the existing mirror stalk?

Cheers

Good scores Muds! :hangloose:

The Hazet round tool box is an ealry one (split Beetle era), with the felt backing and the 36mm spanner instead of the 21/36.

Hi Jolas. its been a while mate...

Th spotlight mirror has a slot typa-thingie... as if the male section was screwed onto the door and the the light was slid in... Either way, Im losing it as Im thinking of adapting a splitty mirror arm for this light to fit onto my door hinge mount on my beetles door...

Hi Fig.... Thanks appreciate the info.

A very good friend of mine (currently best friend :-) ) decided to donate his collection of all three series of Shell Ferrari's to me!
He doesn't have the space, and he knows I am planning some display cabinets to display the addiction, so sent them my way :-)
What a score :hangloose:
