When I worked in bus restoration we used to uses a company called Baines for all our rubber mouldings.
Thanks for your help on that one - slowly but surely i am getting there!

Hi Paddy,
do you have any remains of the original rubbers? If yes, there are at least two ways you can go;
1 - go to a rubber specialist such as this one, http://www.portmererubber.co.uk/
2 - go to a classic parts supplier such as; http://www.frost.co.uk/rubber-seals.html
Hope this helps, and good luck with the K9, they're a great truck.
Thank you so much for your help - hopefully get this one sorted soon, if anyone has anymore info on the trucks i would be more than happy to hear - past experiences - do's and donts etc - this is all new to me but i am looking forward to restoring the K9 to its former glory!
On that note - would anyone have a layout of the gears ie high and low box lever and how to get into and out of 4WD?
Thanks folks

Hi ya all - I'm in a bit of a dilema ... my grandad bought a K9 in the 50s and converted it to a recovery truck and used it up until about 10 years ago - he passed away in Feb and left the truck to me - it needs a few parts like rubbers for around doors and windows, wipers etc all small parts - my question is where would i go to find them - this is all new to me but i would like to leave the truck in pristine condition - i think it is something he would want, can anyone help?
Thanks
Paddy
