Subject:      parts for swap/sell ... square headlights??
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

well, i've decided that i'd like to have round headlights on my 87 camper, so i'm gonna try to find some. but i thought i'd ask if there are any round-eyed buses on the list who'd like to be a square-eyed bus??? if so, wanna swap?? it involves a little bit of drilling (to mount a tab for the 4th screw to hold the headlight bracket ... both round and square brackets have four screws, but the tab is in a different place: on one, it's on the top; on the other, it's on the bottom. go figure.

also: i have another set of square headlights, that i took off my old 88 bus when i converted it to round lights. and the grill. but somewhere, the chrome emblem in the middle of the grill has disappeared. and it is NOT the same as the earlier grill emblems. :(

both of these would need to be swapped/sold to someone pretty close by ... shipping that grill is NOT a good idea. it's about five feet long, and would likely get busted up pretty bad by the cretin gorillas at UPS. so it's gonna be someone in B'ham or Atlanta, most likely, where i can "deliver" it.

also: anybody need silver-framed sliding windows?? i've got two. in good with good gaskets, but the gaskets are for the chrome trim ring (which they do NOT have). the rubber is good, but the trim ring got messed up when i was taken them out, so i threw it away.

last, but not least: power windows for the front doors. i've got all the pieces (motors, regulators, switches, etc). except TWO dippy little parts that the dealers never could find: a relay mounting bracket (that fits somehow on top of the fuse box) and a relay that plugs into it. wonder what would happen if that relay died?? how would they replace it? (if they can't find one!!!???). anyway, it looks like i'm never gonna get around to putting these windows into my non-powered window bus. :( so, since i need some money to buy a power steering rack ... anybody want them?? it's about $800 worth of parts. oh, if you have power mirrors, you won't need the wiring harnesses (which i don't have ... cause i have power mirrors) ... the wires for the power windows are already in the doors. also the wires for the power door locks.

anybody want this stuff?? anybody CLOSE by?? :)
