|
I did a search and was unable to find a Baywindow "rarest of the Rare" topic so i thought i would start one....
This is a locking decklid latch for Baywindows Part # 211 829 231 K
Here is a NOS Motometer Co-Pilet Part# 211 557 039

I dont see the point of the first design, my locking latch has the tumbler in the button, why is this one on the side? |

i have never seen a factory set of coil-over rear shocks, but they are in the microfiche, so they must exist.
baywindow front mesh sun shade is very rare. _________________ SL |

They use speed and time in road rallies. Have you ever heard of the "Great Race"? _________________ Ted Wojton

It was for commercial vehicles....it let business track how many kilometers there vans were driven and at what speed. it also allowed authorities to see if the vehicle was driven on sundays as commercial vehicles could not be driven on sundays or something like that... _________________ These are not the New Old Stock parts you are looking for...

My single cab came with some kind of dealer installed crotch coolers...in the metal plates where the ambulance fans usually go, its an outlet for fresh air on hot days. I posted pictures a while ago...they work incredible! _________________

Colin has a real nice one, nicest one Ive seen by far, but he silkscreened the gauge face himself, it is a one-off. |

The answer to that question is no, there was not a tachograph offered for Baywindows, however many have been made "to fit"
Other Rare Baywindow dash gauges are the trip-odometer
and the Gas heater control
(both pictures are from http://www.ratwell.com/technical/Tachograph.html) _________________ These are not the New Old Stock parts you are looking for...
