Couldn't believe almost winning similar to Tatts when I walked in to a Repco store and seeing a brand new GMB water pump complete with pulley and rear housing, from Japan,
no less, on the clearance table for one dollar($1) to suit my Essex V6 ! ......"cooda blown mi ova wif a feda"
Natch I asked them to check all other stores AUST wide and got zilch.....got the last one !
For those of you not in the Trade, if you even see a used GMB for sale, grab it, as GMB is the Rolls Royce of spare parts. They do for English small Ford and Aust Ford .........Water pumps, Suspension joints, UNI joints, clutch Thrusts, and some wheel bearings.
Few years ago , long before i owned a Capri, Repco threw out dozens of CAPRI headlamps made in Japan by genuine Koito for peanuts as they were too slow in sales. They sold like hotcakes on eBay and I wish I saved some, but I sold them all............now they're very expensive even in non genuine.. These same lamps are identical to LH Torana, Hillman Hunter, Valiant VH, and all CAPRI mk1.........think there's another car but forget........yell out if you know! (ESCORT??????)
