Title: Where is Rod from Bedford Bits
Post by: Rubber Bedford on January 03, 2009, 06:08:34 PM
Is Rod McMillon from Bedford Bits a member of this forum? He was registered at the old site but I haven't read anything from or about him for a long time. Does anybody know?

Regards, rubber

I spoke to Rod last year when I was looking to update the old site. He's out of the CF bits but still does other Bedford bits. I'll look for his number for you.

Hi, I thought Rod could put me in touch with the guy in Ballarat to whom he sold his Bedford "farm". Unless anyone else has a contact for that guy?
Ben do you deal in parts?

Hi Ben, my present wish list:
1. Rust free doors (it's the rust and holes at the bottom of all doors that is hardest and most fiddly to repair).
2. Left/rear internal support pillar which was removed when window was cut in left/rear panel. I want both the pillar and the panel from a wreck.

Thanks Craig, that's mighty big of you.

Ben, these three shots show a sample of the problem areas of all of my doors (sandblasted here). I expect that everyone's doors will look something like this - with rusted holes right the way through, down the bottom. If you have some that have the lower panel in better condition than these, I would be seriously interested to buy them.

I also would like a left-side vertical support post as seen missing here, removed when the side-rear window was installed. Infact, I'd like the missing panel as well, and the horizontal support bar. All in one from a wreck, I suppose:

Yarram sure is a way away.  ;)

Hi Ben, do you have a wreck that I could buy the left rear window panel from?

Would I be right in guessing I should come out to Yarram to cut it out myself? I would be perfectly happy if you were to do it. Craig once offered to drive parts I need closer to Melb. Anyway, perhaps I should call you to arrange something, find out cost etc
