Parts wanted for Mk2 Series 1

[Porousblock]

Can anyone help with finding some parts for my Series 1 L/C? I need the clip which goes on the accelerator pedal for locating the accelerator cable and I need an instrument dash top (with or without instruments)? I would be prepared to take a complete pedal box if necessary!! Old age has got the better of me and I cannot find where I put my parts after taking them off the car!! I mean how does anyone lose something as big as a dash top??!! Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised as a complete door went walkabout when the shell was in the bodyshop!!
Many thanks if anyone can source these parts!! It would be good to get another car back on the road again!! Cliff.

Hi Cliff

Here's the throttle cable clip these are rare so make sure you get it. The dash tops come up now and again but always need repairs from the ones that I've seen.

Many thanks for your advice Kev! I have ordered a couple of clips as recommended - they look different to the original but hopefully they will do the job! Will watch the dash top!

Hi Cliff
The clip should be fine it is slightly longer than my original one but that will not present a problem as there is plenty of room, as I bought one just in case I lost mine like you did.

Ive got a dashtop but it will need repair as split on top but not that bad.

Hello Rob,
Many thanks for your reply. I guess that most of them need some kind of repair - I expected that! Please advise your contact details and we can have a chat!!
In the meantime I am bidding for the ebay one!!
Cheers for now, Cliff.
