240 General: - Struts, spares and Virgos

coaster22 · Feb 6th, 2015, 08:00

Called in at T.J.Stone yesterday in the hope of finding the rear blue seat etc for Skidje, long shot and no luck with this. Left a shopping list of bits , and he's rummaging round for flat bonnets and egg crate grilles amongst other stuff.
However he did say he currently has plenty of front struts, and about 2 sets of Virgos, one set almost new. Will post or pm contact details again if anybody interested. Cheers.

That place is a treasure trove

Small website now up, at stonesvolvospares.co.uk , gives contact numbers and a few pics showing a fraction of the yard he has, very knowledgable as well although often difficult to get hold of as he's always rummaging round the yard.
Cheers.

Thx Geoff for the effords.

keep well...

Skidje, no they are not new ! And I am not sure how the GLT version differ other than spring. The pair I got were from the later models which I think we're galvanised the early ones are steel , and rotted. Pic attached of the ones I got after cleaning although I still haven't fitted them. Cheers.

The difference between GLT and non GLT is inside at the bottom.
