"Thanks Reuby T,   your advice sounds logical and common sense - but also it points in the direction we thought might be the way to go. So that's good - at least we feel we're on the right track!    We'll keep on it and I'll get back with any info that..."

"Hi Neil, thanks for the pic and the part numbers. It seems like the system needs to be made up from scratch, by some exhaust shop. I doubt whether a system of this age would be available off the shelf.I guess my uncle might have to take the car in and..."

"Hi Folks, I'm at it again - looking for more spare parts. This time, my uncle is after a complete new exhaust system for his '68 1000 van. I think it's the same system as the sedan.   Has anybody had the experience of sourcing either an original or..."

"Hi Greeny,   they look awesome!! You really can't get any better than that! This guy stands to have  agreat market on his hands if he keeps doing such great jobs!   Did you supply each lens to be reproduced/ i.e. can he do a RHS from a LHS? Also, does the..."

"Hi Greeny,   Thanks for the update - and that's strange - I thought I had posted a message about two weeks ago, to say that my uncle had bought that set of lights from Importmonster, that you mentioned! (Maybe I dreampt it!) (...And that's a worry too!)  ..."

"Hi Matthew, yep! Thanks for that. I guess that waiting for them to come on eBay is a long-term option! (You gotta be patient!) The contact I have here in Adelaide is Steve, from Stix & Sounds (0424 797 079.) and he has contacts in Japan. None of them..."

"Hi Greeny, I forgot to ask you what your tail light was like. Is yours a three-piece or as you might be suggesting, is it in two pieces? If they are the same, then it may make it easier for David to do something about making them. Also, some other members..."

"Ah! yes! OK - I get what you mean! Unless I'm mistaken, I think the lenses are in separate pieces, separated by the chromed cross-piece of the tail light frame itself, so I assumed they'd be separate pieces. Certainly the red central section is separate,..."

"Hi Greenie, OK that it's the same guy sounds good. I think the style of the lights is the three parts (from top to bottom): Indicator, brake/tail light and then reverse.   Sorry, my uncle basically has the car with perhaps a few mechanical spares - he..."

"Hi Greeny, interesting you're in adelaide too!   I think my uncle would need just the lenses, but he would be interested in a pair of complete assemblies if some came up.   To fill in some more info: We found one lens from eBay, but it's the left-hand..."

"Hi, my uncle is looking for tail lights for his 1968 Datsun 1000 light van. They could be the entire units or just the lenses themselves - hopefully both left and right, but more urgently, the right.   Does anybody have any they don't need/want?   Also,..."

"Hi again, I'm adding an update to the radiator pricing just to clear up some details on the price in my earlier posts.   I mentioned my uncle paid $500 for a radiator for his 1000. This was for a complete radiator, including tanks and the mouting..."

"Hi D, I guess it might be a bit pricey, but I think people who re-do things from the basics are harder and harder to find. Most modern things are driven by expediency and get thrown away before getting a new one. Don't know if you agree with that, and..."

"Hi All, on the subject of radiators and also relating to my earler posts about finding one for my uncle's 1000 light van, I'd like to put out some info on getting a radiator made up. My uncle did some looking around where he lives and came up with a guy..."

"Thanks for the extra info D! The dimensions certainly have been a challenge, but also where the inlets and outlets go on the tanks. Sorry - I'm not sure I understand a couple of things you refer to: 'AN' fitting and a jimny radiator. Also, the radiator..."

"Thanks for your prompt and useful reply D,   yes, my uncle had considered that option too and ultimately, it may have to be the solution.   I think he would like to have one radiator recored and fixed, whilst still having his car on the road, with the old..."
