Default Wanted some amzon parts:)

Hi guys just joined ,and I am in need of some parts for my sons project 68 2 Door Amazon,
1 x Radiator cap
Brake flexi pipes,
2 x Rear Shockers,
Brake pads fitting Kit
Interior light clear lense,
Ignition key and barrel,and both door locks?
Both Air filters are missing (1800 Twin carbs)
Poss steering wheel boss as may change the wheel at some stage.

The parts I need do not have to be brand new I am quite happy with second hand stuff as we are building the car on a budget.

This is my sons first project and he is 13 so I thought it time he had a car to learn how to weld ,turn a spanner,do body work etc .
Every time I carry out a job on the car I let Andrew have a go,so slowly he learns how to do all these tasks and the tools to carry them out

Many thanks Andy (Dad) and Andrew (Son)

I would not get brake pipes second hand you will have no idea of the condition of the pipes. Its a safety risk I would not want to take.

I didn't mean all the parts and yes I know it wouldn't be good practice to use second hand brake hoses,thanks for looking out for me .
I just ment parts like the steering hub or interior light cover etc .
Serviceable parts need to be new.
Thanks again Andy

1 x Radiator cap - buy new.
Brake flexi pipes, - buy new.
2 x Rear Shockers, I have some NOS but not sure if front or rear, saloon or estate. Will check for you.
Brake pads fitting Kit - Fiddle bits that more often than not are rusty therefore - buy new.
Interior light clear lense, - Most often crack due to age so not many around therefore - buy new.
Ignition key and barrel,and both door locks? - Original ignition barrels suffer from the dreaded breaking key. Can be sourced but you might have the same issue. - therefore change ingnition lock or buy new.
Both Air filters are missing (1800 Twin carbs) - probably pick these up on ebay. If you have SU's try looking out for MG or similar models which use SU's
Poss steering wheel boss as may change the wheel at some stage. - these rarely crop up on ebay and can cost a fair amount. If you want one soon then - buy new.

Not being cheeky but" Buy new" is the easy way out plus the expensive one also...
No skill in buying new but you are right flexi hoses should be bought new I was asking the members of the forum if poss they had any of these parts spare in there workshops before I have to" Buy New "
I find tracking the parts down is as much fun as building my cars and along the way you meet some good people......Maybe you can help me
Where would I buy new the parts I have asked for ,Brook house is the only person I have dealt with in the past and were very helpful Anyone else I should know about?????Thank you very much for your suggestions and Advise Andy and Andrew
