drop link blues

Hello fellow Commer Van Fans,

During the painful not to mention expensive process of getting my 1974 PB through it's MOT test yesterday, a mechanic thought the roll bar drop link had a bit too much play in it, so decided to tighten it up. The all too frequent occurance with my beloved came to light that the nut wasn't having any of it. So heavy handed Harry sheered the bloody bolt clean off! Great! £200 down, no camper and no MOT.

The long and short of it is I need an off side drop link. Speedyspares has a near side one but no sign of it's opposite number making an appearance anytime soon. All other lines of enquiry are drawing blanks.

Can anyone help please?

Desperately yours

Adrian.
 
Hi Adrian,Welcome to the madhouse :DI think a pic of your van in readers rides would be most welcome :p
I am sure some one will come up with a solution,I will have a word with my other half & see if we have one surplus to requirements,(no promises)you may need to be patient weekends can be a bit quiet here :)good luck fingers crossed.
 
Thanks for the welcome and good luck wishes.

I'll try to post some pics now.

Appreciate your not making any promises, but I'm grateful for your efforts.
 
Martin, that would be fantastic! Thank you so much.

I have been kicking myself like crazy since yesterday. I did have a second PB that I'd bought for spares. Over the year or so that I had it, I stripped it of all I thought would be useful. Engine, gearbox etc etc. But never thought of having the roll bar assembley away. 'Sold' it for scrap about a month ago!

Anyway, please just name your price for the drop link and I'll get the money to you.

Thanks again!
