    MB replacement panels

    in American Vehicles

    Posted

    An example from Dallas Auto Parts - "MB GPW or M201 Composite wheel housing and tool box assembly, Excellent quality item made in Zintec steel. UK manufactured to the highest standards. Correct one piece welded seat bracket, comes complete with seat fixing springs. Tool box lock bracket welded in place. Reverse engineered from original samples"

    I'm not a Jeep owner, so hopefully other people will be able to tell you how good or otherwise the panels are.

    This link is about cars and body changes, I fail to see how a lorry with its original unaltered cab can be judged by the discussion on the Austin Seven forum. A commercial vehicle in its life can have various changes, from van body to platform or whatever, it is a form of tractor moving differing kinds of loads around and are mostly produced from the factory as Cab Chassis, as the Austin K9 was, it then went to bodybuilders for whatever role it was intended for. This Austin Seven example is only muddying the waters.

     

    My intention was not to "muddy the waters" but just to show that by completing DVLA form V627/1 as described on the Austin 7 forum, minidaffy should not have a problem with his non original flatbed fitted rather than a radio body and therefore result in the original or age related plate being issued. Although the route that he is already following will hopefully be successful.

     

    Every post that I have submit to this forum has always been done with the best of intentions and not meant to cause confusion or add disinformation to the post. Before I reply to any other post I must think would I be better to just send a PM.

    He is not building a special

    The verification process will confirm the chassis number the make and the date of manufacture

    The DVLA require that the vehicle is reasonably complete and represents the vehicle it purports to be

    If all this is OK a dating letter will be issued and will be submitted along with a V55/5 form for first registration

     

    If you read the whole thread it covers more than just specials:-

    This post that I've copied from the Austin Seven Friends forum will hopefully be helpful.

     

    Re: Beware when building A7 specials!

    On careful reading of the DVLA website the crucial form is V627/1

    which can be found at:-https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/278783/V627X1_270913.pdf

    It lists the major components they want answers for and states:

    "Chassis/bodyshell" - top of the column has the words "delete as appropriate".

    Surely in our case the chassis and its date and number are required and the word bodyshell is deleted.

    You also need all the information to register a new vehicle and an inspection report from your A7 club DVLA representative.

    Newer monocoque vehicles would delete chassis and quote body id.

    'Roko' 1¼" strap fittings, 'C' end tags. Are they available anywhere?

    in I may be stupid, but......
