Title: What are they worth Post by: weddo on October 05, 2009, 01:21:20 PM I have been offered some spares by a retired motor mechanic having a clean out and he asks for an all up lump sum.
NOS Crown Wheel and Pinion (standard), NOS fuel pump with glass, NOS Universal joints, NOS water pump Reconditioned Head (no hardened valve seats) Reconditioned radiator, Vacumm wiper motors, and lots of other second hand bits and pieces. What would be a fair price to offer?

If you feel that they are worth "X" and are happy to pay "X" then that's what they are worth.
There is no sense in offering an arm and a leg for parts that you may never use. I understand that parts are getting scarce and as such proably everyone hoards parts that "might come in handy one day". Best to ask your self, what are they worth to me, am I going to use them, what do I need now, and what are the parts that I am going to need and use worth? Then you will have a fair idea of what you need and want and what is a fair price to offer, the rest if included is a bonus.

He could want more, he could want less, but maybe this would be a rough guide to start thinking around.
Hope this helps Ken Title: Re: What are they worth Post by: weddo on October 05, 2009, 08:10:15 PM Have had a look at the crown wheel and pinion, can someone confirm if the numbers are correct
Crown wheel 7407396 LC also engraved over what seems is white paint 98330 with a B stamp beside Pinion 7408405 LC thanks in anticipation Regards Weddo Title: Re: What are they worth Post by: mcl1959 on October 05, 2009, 09:28:01 PM Individual part numbers are not listed - the part numbers you have supplied are not even listed in the parts book. The part number in the book is 7406081 which is for a ring gear and pinion assembly
Title: Re: What are they worth Post by: weddo on October 06, 2009, 12:45:54 PM Thanks mcl1959, that is the number on the box and both items are wrapped in the original grease paper with a card divider between them so I can anly assume they are original.
