I've heard there are 2 wheels per side, it has to all be taken away inc chassis and the price is pretty firm. He's knows what they're worth and is happy to hold onto them until his price is met......it's in Yeovil. perhaps if a few folks grouped together and the price could come down a bit!!!!!

I think people in England have forgotten the old phrase that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay. At least around Lincoln, if you can't sell your house for what it was worth in 2007 then you get grumpy and then rent it out until it is worth what you think it should be! Having said that I am sure he will sell the parts at a high price.

Sorry, perhaps i should have put quotation marks around that phrase! they are the sellers words not mine. I have no connection but just passing on what i was told.

You are right, it's only worth what someone will pay.

Default track

I Had some extra pics sent of that track and I estimate he has about 600 to 650 links there. So he wants 4 k for a set of carrier track, but you do get the bonus of a chopped down T16 diff and some carrier road wheels with no rubber on them ...............Oh and also the pleasure of lifting out the frame and transporting to the scrap yard. If he wants to hold on to it let him!. I offered him a fair price but was refused

kev.
