Oooo - shiny stuff!


Well, no visit to the barn today but some preparation work complete and some goodies too!
The oil filter body is now painted and looks good (shame the engine it's being stuck onto looks so scruffy!). Also, the new ignition / light switch arrived - looks good but it's even older than the one it replaces - the broken one was made in 1954, this 'new' one in 1951!!

  3. Hi Luke,

    They are quite hard to find now. I got mine from Bygone Bedford Bits in Poole -http://bygonebedfordbits.co.uk/

    Also, Chris Morter in Norfolk has quite a fair stock of Bedford parts - 01953 602581, morter766@btinternet.com

    Failing that, I gather that the 6 way light switches used in military Land Rovers and later Bedfords are similar and can be made to fit / work.

    Duncan.
