$500 is too much. You can get your old heater box recored for around $250 at a radiator place. And did you try Robert Ross in Loganholme for door Springs and fan? 0402 989 175. The fan won't push much air but that's how they are originally.
Pedal rubbers are a perfect fit. The accelerator pedal has an old cracked rubber I found somewhere, but I think when I got roadworthy 20 odd years ago I never had one and it was ok.

Nice one doujoy.. my first car was a Morris minor with a crank handle start option.. it was great, never had to worry about a flat battery, wish I had the option still.. you had to be careful it didn't back wind and catch you though.. I have seen videos online of people starting their truck with a wheel jacked up using a rope wound around the tyre to crank the engine.. check it out, have to try it on the Bedford one day! https://youtu.be/-aquUatFDeI

Sounds like a blast! I'll help spread the word as the details firm up.

Don't take it too hard Merlin, a lot of people only check the site infrequently. I found the discussion including your comments pretty interesting. A friend of mine wants to lower his front end at some point and I will pass on this thread, some good info.

Yes your van looks mint now Wendy.
Millsy will be mowing lawns until 2050 just to pay for his engine conversion I think - it might end up being a sleeper by default lol!

Yep drop spindles would change the game completely I imagine. Sounds like it was a bit of a mission, well done on figuring it all out!

Yep that was very interesting about the two piece exhaust manifold, would never have thought - ha Ray's got another job!
Yes its good to see even the gold plated professionals like Al have problems with Bedfords, makes me feel better about my own amateur struggles lol !

Hi Doujoy,
Sorry to hear the UK bedford sites are not active now, I have found some very useful posts on them in the past. A fellow named Phil Bradshaw seems to be some kind of CF Bedford genius, some very good answers to questions and info on part numbers etc.
I'm not much of a Facebook person as well, however I play in bands and got forced to make one as part of a previous band - its actually turned out to be useful, if just for keeping up with the "Bedford vans and parts for sale Australia" Facebook page. There's a lot of great content there if you like CFs. You don't have to share any info if you don't want to, all you need to do is use your Dougiestractor page and "add friend". Your grandkids will show you how to do it !
Would also love to see pics of your van one day, they've all have long service lives by now so any roughness is part of the character.
BTW your tractor on Facebook looks very tidy indeed! Well done.

Hi Wendy,
Yes there may be a more tech savvy way of sharing them, that would be great if you have some ideas.
If you click the links they will take you to a folder showing all the files. In the top right hand corner you will see a button saying "Download". If you click on that, there is an option for direct download - it will download everything as a zip file and then they can be extracted individually.
If you prefer to download them one by one as PDF files (not zip files), open them individually and then click the same download button.
I just tried it and it should work but any problems just holler.
Thanks Wendy,
Stuart
