Parts Wanted: 1969 Austin-Healey Sprite

As with every project, we run across parts that need replacing but aren't normal stock items at the usual suspects. Here's what we're presently looking for on our 1969 Austin-Healey Sprite MKIV project:

• AHA 7080 - Right Hand side windscreen retainer strip. This is the piece that holds the rubber gasket to the outside right hand side of the windscreen.
• AHA 5678 & AHA 5679 - Rear Bumper support brackets
• AHA 5686 - Front bumper overrider (will rechrome so needs to be solid, but not necessarily spectacular chrome)
• 27H 5978 - Front turn signal lamps. Specifically we just need the bases.
• AHA 8098 - Front grille assembly. Needs to be show quality or as close as possible.
• Generator Assembly (generator, pulley, fan and mounting hardware).
• Metal Radio Console - metal must be solid, can recover the vinyl if necessary
• Windshield Wiper Wheelbox - This car is a triple wiper car
