Title: Gearbox Cradle Bolts
Post by: modnrod on May 06, 2016, 05:40:25 am
I have a '73 1303 (L Bug here in Oz), and I'm having difficulty finding new mounting bolts that hold the rear cradle to the frame horns.
The bolts on the left........

......are what I can't seem to find locally.

Does anyone know a supplier in Euro/UK/US that I can purchase from?

It may be worthwhile changing your cradle to an early pre 72 version. These are the ones that you keep finding bolts for. The reason that I!d go for the early one is that there are numerous rubber mounts available for these.

I want to keep the late cradle and mounts if possible. Thanks though.
I'll keep looking if there's no new parts out there.
