JohnCh Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I am trying to find a pair of the old style windscreen pillars, preferably polished, like the ones below. My understanding is that the shape of the scuttle changed in '97, so I am looking for a pair designed for cars made prior to that year. Thanks, John
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Can't help I'm afraid, but great to see you and the car are still going strong over there!
JohnCh Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 I have been quiet for a few years (that was probably a good thing for most of the forum ). My car had an intermittent electrical issue that was very difficult to diagnose and prevented me from using it very much during that time. After replacing several items, and inventing a number of new ways to curse, I determined it had to be something in the ECU loom which was cobbled together a number of years ago. A new one from Emerald appears to have sorted the issue, so I can now focus on other upgrades and actually driving the car. -John 1
stephenh Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I think I did have a pair of these, but I can't remember if I got rid of them or not. It is dark and very cold at the moment, and if I've still got them they will be "buried" somewhere in a detached garage down my drive, so I'm not going to look now! I'll try and remember to have a look tomorrow, and if I do I'll post on this thread again. My recollection is that they were quite old and had various holes drilled in them, no doubt as yours would look if you took the windscreen off and the mirrors and the wind deflectors.
JohnCh Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 Thanks Stephen, but I think I found a pair. I'm waiting for confirmation that they are the old style, and if they are, then we've struck a deal. I'll circle back here with a final answer as soon as I hear back from the seller. Thanks, John
JohnCh Posted February 17, 2017 Author Posted February 17, 2017 Giving this a bump. I thought I had found a pair, and after agreeing to the price over 3 weeks ago provided the seller confirmed they were the old style, he has been unresponsive. It looks like he hasn't logged into the forum since that PM thread on the 26th, so hopefully there is nothing wrong, but I'm tired of waiting. Anyone have what I'm looking for (early-style windscreen pillars, not patience )? Thanks, John
Mark Stanton Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I think I might have a pair ?? and a windscreen to - need to check at weekend
JohnCh Posted February 17, 2017 Author Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks Mark, I just need the pillars.
