Swap meet at Mt Gambier?

[melanco]

OK, with about 50 VVers going to Mt Gambier I am figuring there could be some horse trading going on... am I right?

I have been getting nervous about seeing you all while still missing some essential authentic vintage parts and have been trolling through 2nd hand shops, with not much success. Have some lights etc that really aren't right for my Carapark that I will bring along in case anyone can use them.

Is this the right thing to do? Don't want to break with protocol.....

Can I assume Mark T that calendars and stickers might be there for sale? And T shirts Reddo? Hope so.

Looking forward to it.

Hi Mel

Sorry about the late reply.

I have a fair bit of old van stuff stashed away now . However the thought of carting it all to Mt G on the off chance of selling something doesnt over excite me .
If anyone is chasing anything in particular then i reckon it wouldnt be a bad idea to list it here and see if anyone that is going to MT Gambier can help out.
Do the haggling via "pms " and once a deal is struck just come back to this thread and edit your wanted or for sale add with a "Sold" message.
That way we only have to pack the odds and sods that you know you have a sale (or swap) for when you get there.

I know there is a for sale and wanted section on the forum but we could just use this thread for" horse trading" between those going to MT G. Not much point in scoring a part from someone and finding out they arent going to the nats. .....well i suppose they could still post you the bits.

Here is what I have to offer:

There are two matching round lights and one long flouro. NEW: THE WATER PUMP HAS NOW GONE.

Here's what I need:
SPARE WHEEL IS NOW SORTED

2 x teardrop orange lights or covers.

2 x round white lights or covers.

Any help gratefully received. Might copy this also onto another board, maybe technical?javascript:add(%22%20:-/%22)

Hi All
Rather than photograph all the bits i have on offer . If anyone is chasing any particular bits for thier vans and are heading to Mt G. Just give me a" pm" and i will reply if i can or cant help out.

Pretty much the same as using "For sale or wanted" here on the forum except the delivery options are a whole lot cheaper. ;D

Hi all,

Not sure if anyone has some spare black push button knobs (example below)? But I would like one or two if there are any spare. Just the knob not the mechanism.

We have 14 on our van and no spares, so it would be a good idea to get one or two for the future if possible.

Thanks n regards
Diane
