Hi
The best places to start looking is Auto Surplus 03 98233566

Stuart - The best place to search initially, is eBay U.K. Go to eBay Australia, scroll down to the bottom and find the other eBay countries, and click on "United Kingdom" under "eBay sites".

Then, do a search using "Morris LC5" or "Morris Commercial". If you click the "include descriptions" button, this widens the search to the words in a description.
Placing quotation marks around two or more words, will set the search to just that phrase. No quotation marks will bring up everything that has at least one of the words in the search.
You can narrow the search by selecting from the categories located on the LH menu, if there's too much crap in the search results.
In addition, at the bottom of each page is a clickable link .. "see all matching items for international sellers".

Once you've narrowed the results to a few pages, look for sellers that are selling Morris or Morris Commercial parts.
There's quite a few businesses that use eBay, but they don't necessarily list everything they have.
Once you find a seller who looks promising for Morris parts, email them and ask if they have, or can find, kingpins for you.

There are a couple of local eBay sellers, Vanguard Wholesalers and Morris-Minor-Spare-Parts, who are probably of most interest to you.
Vanguard Wholesalers dig up a lot of NOS parts, and the Morris bloke has a range of Morris parts.
As many Morris parts are interchangeable across a number of models, you might get lucky .. if not for the kingpin set immediately, but perhaps other parts. Good luck.

Hi peeps,

eBay is a wonderful thing I have found.

It is not generally advertised but there is a facility I have used with success:-

pages.ebay.com/wantitnow/

This 'reverse Ebay'
You advertise what you want !!
An Ebay Wanted sysytem.
and it works.
You place a FREE ad, and wait.
I got part4 of a set of DVDs that were offered on a magazine. I missed the last one due to being in hospital, but got it from the US 6 months later.

Cheers

Roland - Yes, eBay gives you massive, world wide exposure .. better than anything else .. and yes, I did know about, "Want It Now".

However, I've never had a great deal of success with the W-I-N section. Maybe I advertise for stuff that just doesn't exist! ..

Cheers - Ron.

Thanksguys i will give it a go.
