Here are all the new parts i have managed to locate and buy:-

These bits are all from a guy in Japan that sells some new "S" parts. Stainless
bonnet stand, grill edging, Honda sticker, Jap style cigarette lighter, heater outlet/tap.

Bonnet stand spring/roller, wing badge clips, radiator sticker, dist sticker.

Have not got a clue what this said or where it went

This came new from Australia Steering column cowling

Finally these new bits came from a company in Birmingham that purchased all left over parts from dealers in UK Steering column mount clamps, oil filter, water pump gaskets/oil seal

Had to recon the Alternator as one of bearings sounded noisy. When i stripped it down found the brushes nearly totally worn out.
Luckily the company in Birmingham stocked the brushes. Looks like Honda still make them as have modern packing.
The bearing were also in stock.

Check out how worn the old brush is, was barely touching the armature.

New bearings

Stripped alternator with new brushes fitted.

Just got back from workshop, got a few jobs done:-

Fitted the new steering column top mount that was missing.

Drained the engine, gear box and diff oil's and popped the new centrifugal oil filter in.

Last little bit of rust worm to cut out from the bonnet recess.

Just had these turn up.

Standard size in 1968 was 6.15" x 13". The sort of standard new size is 145/13 but i opted for 165/65/13.

I asked my mechanic this morning & he told me he wants 600Euro including shipping for the radiator.

So i got my 5 wheels powder coated and new tyres fitted

My paint formula finally arrived from Germany so paint supplier was able to mix original colour. And you thought Champ White was dull, this colour looks proper like magnolia
