I will let you know as soon as I find two of them Dave - they are like hens teeth :esad:

I need one too :( .

He may be interested in making a spare wheel clamp given it is common to several models.

Anyone got a good, genuine spare wheel clamp that they can loan as a sample for Pete to work from? I'll vouch $200 to the owner to ensure that it comes back to them.

Cheers,

G'day Billy
I got tired of chasing a clamp so I ended up bidding on one from a trusted seller, fjpanelvan1, who is a really good fellow to buy from. Enter 112671491508 in the item search bar - I ended up paying $127.50 with EB at my heels at $125. I don't understand why he wants every damn part so others have to pay ridiculous prices like $249 for a damn clamp!
There is also one at $150 - expensive but available.
I'm going to chase up a lead in the new year who has lots of old parts, and if he agrees I'll unearth some more for everyone to get at a fair price, hopefully along with lots of other parts. It also doesn't help when so many hoard parts (we are all guilty of it)
As I have stated before, everyone can, if they want to, buy and sell for a profit but not when it puts parts out of reach. There is a word for that.
Thankfully we still have clubs and forums to help each other out :thumbsup:

I tried Pete back in May (even had a sample lined up for him to use), though he was pretty busy at work, and with the FEFC nationals coming up. The recent posts to this thread reminded me, and I shot Pete a PM on Saturday to see if he had some time for it.

Definitely need one for Grace's ute... I bent up a piece of angle for the time being, but it looks wrong.

Cheers,
Harv
