Re: Parts valuation
I hate trying to put a valuation on things but I'll give it a go using other sources as a guide.
I have seen complete headlight units going for approx £30 each, other light clusters would probably be nearer the £20 mark. I think I can se a front indicator in the box and I'd guess that would be the £10-15 price range.
Is there a window winder mechanism there? If so I think I paid £15 for one ages ago from another club member.
As I warned I'm terrible at valueing things and tend to always underestimate what things are worth, hence I'm not in the sales business

Re: Parts valuation
Stored dry and in the dark, the gasket on the light units is probably worth as much as the unit itself to someone wanting to get their Type 4 into a smart condition. Similarly the chrome and reflector conditon dictates the saleability of the light units themselves. My guess is that these parts are much better than average condition, but I would say Shawn is in the right ball-park.

Re: Parts valuation
Yep i would agree ive seen quite a few Type 4 lights up for sale front and rear headlights complete in good condition £30 each or around £40 for a pair, indicators Around £25 for a pair. Condition is everything and as said before there would be alot more money to be had if split and the individule elements sold seperately ie gaskets, trims, lenses etc.

Re: Parts valuation
..........i ended up giving most of my type 4 stuff away as Kat was fed up with it all over the place......although Kieron did say he would do some welding for me at some point ........maybe i should get a type 4 project sooner rather than later

Can anyone offer an opinion as to whether these are type 4??

Re: Parts valuation
I would say almost definately not, i really cant figure out what they are off, obviously the lower sections of a wing as those indents are for the ends of wrap around bumpers, but from what i just dont know?

Re: Parts valuation
Just a thought ...
Might they be weld-in section for the bottom portion of the rear wings, for where they rot through?

Re: Parts valuation
My Bay camper had a shaped hole and square rear light cut-outs rather like those panels. I think the angle of the joddled section throws you a bit. Do you think they might be that? Or a Splitty?
