HQ Sandman found!!

[ozbox]

In regards to the ebay link above. Is that a decent price for a set of them? It seems a little steep. :Chin:

note they are for a coupe...yes its a good price...for my hq ls350 coupe i recently paid 1k for the 2 front belts only..they were new old stock and red..which cant be purchased recoed...
i have been selling buckles and clasps only for $55 each to suit reco for years and have now ran out..
the only place in australia that can reweb your belts to adr specs is in perth..the place in perth only re webs they dont reco the buckles and clasps..
the work that goes into recoeing parts like these is a fair bit so price comes along with that.

RMP is Rainsford..... they look like HJ but the webbing style could have changed late in the HQ run judging by the date.

generally those rainsford buckles are only in hq statesmans..

the guy who is selling the restored belts in the ebay ad's name is james vanburen.... he is pretty knowledgeable in all things from hk - hq.... send him an email or give him a call he will get you what you need

Al

i will agree with al..james is very knowledgable,very helpful and a nice guy to talk to...if you want perfect belts i would just go with james and get a pair of his recoes...and yes that buckle is the style you need..

[Absinth]

Yep..... if you want top quality it comes with a price tag...

Totally agree with Al and Oz, I have spoken and dealt with James and he is extremely helpful and a very nice guy to talk to.... I would recommend any of his stuff.

:gday:Thanks crew, im not gonna hold back on quality for the touchs ups ill do on the Panno so it looks like thats what it will cost, gonna take a few years to get this stuff done and to find the right bits but soo worth it in the long run to have it in full glory, after that will be the Dash and having it recoated etc,

Next query

what part of the dash resto are you talking...????

dash pad?..if so you currently need to send yours to have redone and this costs $550 without freight to and from melbourne..it also needs to be a perfect core unit as in the plastic frame of the dash pad cannot be warped or badly cracked..if you are talking a couple of years to do this stuff i know for a fact that reproduction dash pads are being done..price unknown at this stage..

dash fascia?..i have perfect replica fascias in black at better prices than others can supply to mysandman forum regulars..

Greg, are the translucent painted over chrome ones still being done? I've only seen the black natural and the bright chrome ones on Ebay for a while now.
