M8 armoured car bits and pieces for sale

Post by Big D » Sun Mar 06, 2016 11:35 am

Hi all,

I am starting to accumulate a few parts spare from my ongoing M8 restoration which I'll list here. These parts are surplus to my restoration and may be of use to someone else. I’ve attached a photo and a brief description. Please PM me if you want additional details or photos and I’ll email them to you. I can work out the freight cost at the time. The spare 37mm gun parts I had are now all sold.

* 37mm ready rack - missing the holders for the projectile end of the 37mm round. Asking $40 US ( sold)

* Instrument panel face plate - there is some corrosion around the speedo area which will need tidying up and filling. Asking $30 USD.

* Handbrake adjusting pin- this is a little bent but should straighten fine. Asking $5 USD.

* Transmission lever housing - some areas around the base have been damaged by corrosion. Asking $40 USD.

* Light Switch - I have checked this with a multimeter and it appears to work correctly. The indicator plate has been painted over but it is restorable. Asking $20.

* Turret traverse housing - a part of this where the handle would be has been cut away. Asking $5.

Hi all,

I have these turret seats and tower mounts surplus now if anyone is looking for them.

Both towers will need to have some repair work on the base of the tower where corrosion has got to them.

The seats will need new rollers and some fabrication of the lock lever.

I'm asking $200 USD for both plus the ride there.

PM if interested please.
