Door Pockets - black/blue
Both of my door pockets perished in the recent snow, succumbing to big boots and panicky heads!
Preferably in blue to match my interior but I know these are rare so I'll settle for black. Cash waiting. Cheers Alex

Alex - dare I say it, they are available from Skandix and Swedishautolampsforless (both on t'web). Not cheap with postage etc
You could ask Lakes in Wyboston to see if they have any - 01480 212291. I am going there myself in three weeks and would collect them for you and get them to SW London if that's any help...? Good luck, Nick |

If you have all the broken bits, I would re-assemble with super glue ....wait 24 hours ....then reinforce the back with a couple of layers of GRP.
If you get new ones .... then reinforce them anyway ...will save tears later. |

Nic - they are available from Skandix but at £100+ (!!!!!) I might have to settle for second hand. I might give Lakes a call, I know Wraysbury's in Staines have got a car as well so I'll give them a call.
Speedy G50 - Not sure I'd trust super glue on the super old, brittle plastic to be honest. They'll definitely just break again, even with GRP on it. Alex

Alex - I had some bits of the Wraysbury car - can't recall if it had any pockets
One of the problems with original pockets is that the plastic will have deteriorated. Replacement ones should be more supple - I got mine courtesy of a friend travelling back from the states with room in his suitcase Gluing the pockets doesn't really work - I've tried using MEK and Butanone both of which melt the plastic to form a weld. It's so brittle that the joint is strong but the pocket merely breaks elsewhere. Superglue and plastic aren't effective bedfellows Try Lakes and let me know. All the best Nick |

Alex - Lakes have a black driver's side door pocket - I know as I took it off the door whilst grubbing about for other bits - it's in the back seat of a G-reg white saloon they have if that helps...

Nic,
Thanks for the warning. I'll give them a call when I've got the funds (far too much spent on boats this month!) Thanks Alex

Thanks Bob but £70 for door pockets?! I think I'll live without at that price.
Thanks Alex

I would agree but they do seem to go for this rich price if not higher, always another set so good luck
Bob. |
