SH4RKY's Yard Sale

Sorting through the garage and found a bunch of stuff I had collected during my 260 ownership.


Quick list below with full details and pics further below:

LOUD Exhaust = £100
Rear lights = £10 ea
Throttle Body = £50
Handbrake Cables = £60
Seat Cover = £10
Air Con Unit = £25 (potentially) SOLD
Door Mirrors = £15 ea SOLD
Door Handle = Free
Front Mesh = Free
Rear Brake Discs = £75

All bits located in Bham and postage is free if you collect! Can also take them to work which is at Junction 4 M42 if that helps. Or, meet locally for drop off etc.

If collection isn't an option, I can post stuff... just be aware some things are heavy and large (some are too large for normal delivery methods I think (exhausts)). Found Parcel 2 Go reliable in the past so can get quotes from them if needs be.




Exhaust (Non standard)
Stainless steel straight thru rear back boxes. Slash cut to fit a ZTT; but easy enough to cut down for a saloon.... Or fit them to a ZT anyway like I did! Stick out by about 20cm :)
They are LOUD. Brutally loud.

£100

Standard Saloon rear lights; even include the bulbs!

£10 each

Standard 260 throttle body, including the Horsey emblem!
Removed from Vin235 to fit an accufab. Done about 50k at a guess before removal.

£50

Club issue handbrake cables.
I think these were designed to help alleviate the stretch? Unused, brand new

£60

Rear seat back cover.
I forget the name for the trim level, but it's not alcantara and it's not leather.

£10

AirCon unit;
This was removed and replaced with a refurbished unit from America. To be honest, this was done as a precautionary step as Nick at Austins didn't find any debris in the air con fluid when he swapped them over. So I assume it's a fully working unit without a problem, BUT I couldn't say for sure. The new unit whined just as much as the one taken off and as much as the unit fitted to Nicks car... he seemed to think they all whine a little.
Soo... 'sold as seen' really. You can get them refurbed in bham so I guess this may be of use to someone wanting to swap etc, or for someone with a seized unit and needs a quick replacement.

£25

ZT MK2 mirrors.
Caps are Pearl Black. Fully working and unbroken mirrors. Couple of marks from general use but nothing a bit of spit and polish wouldn't clean up.
£SOLD

Door handle.
Err, it's just a ZT/75 door handle.

Free

Front grill bit.
Broken mesh but may be handy for spares if swapping to Silver etc.

Free

Original Rear Brake Discs
These are an original set of discs with about 50k miles use. Raised edges have been removed and drums cleaned. Would say quite a bit of life left in them, check out the photos.

£75 reduced due to postage probably being around 10-15 quid because of the weight.

Thanks for looking, Drop me a PM if interested in anything. ;)

Sharkey,

I'll take the air con unit & the exhausts. PM me details, thanks, Robert

If the aircon unit doesn't go I have it please and I would like the two door mirrors please.

Updated and added brake discs. Will add photos and measurements tomorrow.

Ian, Can you remember who made & where you got "those" rear pipes from? they look great. Pete.

I thought that I had sold them to Paul Lowe. :confused:

You had. He sold them to me. I deafened my self with them. Now I'm selling as I don't own 235 any more :)

Added rear disc price and photos.

Looking at the discs, with less than 24mm left (if you had used the tape correctly:)) I'd say they're good for the bin.............

What's the minimum thickness for discs then??

The lip was only a couple of mm, if that. Seems a bit of a waste to scrap them.

The back of the discs hardly had any lip too, so I can't imagine the standard thickness of a disc is any more then 25mm...

There is no quoted limit for the rear discs but:-
Rear discs are 26 mm when new. If you allow roughly 10% wear, the minimum is roughly 23.5 mm

(for example, front disc is 24.9 mm, wear limit 22.8 mm (roughly 8%))

Hi Ian,please could I have throttle body if still available. Thanks, Tony.

Tony, you have exceeded your PM quota.


Sorry for my lack of replies, I'm working away at site and have just moved house so I'm barely connected to the internet a the moment. Just seen your post.

Are you still interested in the throttle body?

If so, I can pass on BAC details and get it in the post on Monday.

My car has been sorned for longer than I can remember due to my rear disks being shot....if those disks would last twelve months I'd be happy and would have them...

Can the shop not provide new ones Zeb? :cool:

But you've saved most of that by no road tax the past 12 months ?
:cool:

Did you get my PM SH4RKY?

Nich.

Er...the last 28 months...but I still have to tax the 190... :-)

Yeah Nich, will reply later today, if thats ok.

Zeb, Yeah still have them. See PM.

I'm currently in a site cabin with what seems like dial up internet speeds. I'll reply in full to all later when im back at the hotel.

Hope this is ok

Thanks
Ian

Did you all get my PMs? Wobbly 3G connection :)

Cheer's Ian! Fitting as we speak.

Many thanks Ian, arrived today.

Nich.

Dammit I want those rear pipes!

Good lord they sound good! The way they crackle and pop on the over run and really, and I mean REALLY scream at higher revs is intoxicating. I just drove into the centre of glasgow and surrounded by high buildings it was quite frankly epic.

Honestly.... If they were still on the car when I collected you from the airport, I wouldn't have sold the car...!



Cant seem to edit my original post (assume because I'm not green any more). So update as to whats what:

Rear lights = £10 ea
Seat Cover = £10

Sorry for the delay.... umm.... mesh is pretty big. (dont have items to hand to measure) But P2G says about 5£



I also have a MK2 Front bumper. In pearl black but would need a respray and some plastic welding etc. Its nudged a railing so has a couple of splits and various scuffs. Ill try and get the photos uploaded soon. Too big to post so collection required. Free to whoever wants it. Could be a toy for a mod project or something i guess :)

Oh never knew you guys were expecting mate! I'll let you know and yeah I've still got your number.

Sharky,

Whats the deal with the handbrake cables? Are the original ones NLA these days, and these made up by the club?

Or are the originals still available, but rubbish, and these are a worthwhile upgrade?

They were club made improved versions of the originals. I think they help resolve the poor handbrake, although i believe their were alternate fixes discovered which meant you didnt have to replace.... but a bit out of the loop so cant really comment :)

Not sure if Rimmers still have them, they did commission a re-manufacture of a new batch but status unknown..and cost.
