For the Window seals; try either Clark rubber or Scotts old auto rubber.
There's a Brake mob in Adelaide who have a very good reputation But i can't think of their name at the Moment..

Try:-
Auto Surplus in Nunawading, Melbourne,
Roverco in Caulfield, Melbourne,
Peter Jackson's Vintage Auto Parts (that may not be the correct name, just Google Peter Jackson) just outside Sydney.
Thompson's Auto Rubber in Melbourne,

Look at the professional traders at Swap Meets. (Bendigo is 17/18/19 November)

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

Yes powerbrakes.
I forgot about them. I have had wheel cylinders done by them before for my mini.

Anything in Adelaide for the rubbers ?

Swiftden, Fitch Rubber just off Port Road and before South Road travelling out of the city or Rare Spares on South Road just north of Richmond Road are worth try. Take a sample in with you if possible.
Good Luck Geoff

Well last week was a mile stone for me and also a huge point of motivation.
Last week i actually passed and got my HR licence.
Up until then i could only look at y trucks and not actually drive them.
Now im super motivated as it means as soon as i get the brakes up and running etc i can actually use my trucks !

Unfortunately ive done very little in recent times apart from collect bits. Im also on the move again. I have taken the gran bin off my little tipper however and rekon she looks much better without it :)

I need to get a water pump for my truck so i can move her in the first week of January. Any ideas on where i can get one in SA ?

Swifty, I had the same issue, I went to a bearing joint who had a very similar bearing and shaft out of I think a ford, had to get a mate to machine a bit off for a shoulder at one end. Cost about $20 for the in stock one. Apparently a very common pump shaft and bearing.... however, and I do remember there is a bakelight washer in the pump, I got mine aprt without damage but it was worn a fair bit so I flipped it. and it went fine. Not sure if a replacement could be made up out of a nylon washer, but I recall someone said brass would not work, DFK why.

Good Luck, nice old truck at 40mph (down hill.) but it will be really shouting doing that.
