Long shot - trailering a bench seat via the Nats

Post by Harv »

Gents,

This is a long, long shot but I'll try.

I've been hunting down red and silver trim for the EK wagon for a while. Many of you have helped out with various odds and ends (with thanks 8) ), and I now almost have enough bits to piece together a workable set. The one thing I have not been able to get hold of is a red and silver front bench seat. As luck would have it, Tim has one, located up near Brisbane. It needs some work, but is just what I have been hunting for.

I can try to get it freighted from Brisbane to Sydney, though am hoping to avoid it if I can. I'm hoping to organise a freight relay via Cowra... fingers crossed.

Are any of the Queensland boys going to the Nats with enough trailer space to cart the bench seat to Cowra for me?
Are any of the Sydney/NSW guys passing through Sydney (Parramatta) with enough trailer space to bring back the seat from the Nats?

Sadly, I won't be making the Nats this year so can't drag it back myself.

Cheers,
Harv

Thanks guys - appreciated.

The trim in Melbourne looks OK, though the seat is about the same (or a little worse) than Tims.

Blacky - offer very much appreciated.

Now all I need is an empty trailer from Brisbane to the Nats.... anyone? Happy to kick-in a carton of beer for your trouble (to go with the one that I would owe Blacky).

Cheers,
Harv

Thanks Dave... still hunting but may have to get the couriers name off you.

I'm persona non-gratia with the local freight company at the moment (e-Go's local representative).... something about dropping a supercharger from a great height... twice :evil: . Nothing like watching them carry a 20L tub up to your door with bolts falling out of it.
