Wanted - P1800 spare wheel retaining pin and plate

skysurfer · Nov 18th, 2009, 18:51

Hi
Does anyone have a spare wheel retaining pin and plate for a 1966 P1800S.
Also looking for a pair of very good black front seats (wishful thinking !!).
Cheers
PJ

I can look tonight when I get home... I think by '66 they had the lever style hold down (as oppoosed to the earlier one with the huge wing nut...). Is this what you are after?

Thanks Chris. To be honest, I've never seen one fitted so I'm not sure. All I know is that there must be a kind of pin which you insert and twist into a hole in the boot floor with a plate or wing nut of some type that fits on top of the pin which you then screw down onto the wheel to secures it to the floor.
Regards

Great to see the forum back in action!

PJ et al.-

I was backwards on what cars had which hold downs. I looked about and the early 1800's had the lever style hold down, while the later (I think B20 cars) had the huge wing nut.

In the attached photos, there are both styles. I would say the lever style is correct for your car but I can fing exactly when they switched over ('65 parts manual shows a lever, late '68 shows the wing nut assembly). This lever is out of an early amazon wagon. It's identical but the rod would have to be longer. That would be easy to make.

Let me know your thoughts.

OK- Never mind, it will not let me upload photos. I think I just found a glitch in the new server... I just whipped up a quick snapfish album. See: http://www3.snapfish.com/thumbnailsh.../videocount=0/ for photos of the hold downs...

Thanks
Chris
