[Nobbc] Need Spitfire Driver Side Headlamp Bezel, Tach, Wiper Switch, Flywheel

[Dawson Church]

Fantastic!

Can I swing by some time today (Friday) or Monday to pick it up?

I'm happy to pay you for it.

I'm also looking for a new bell housing. There's a tube pressed into the
back of the bell housing that holds the transmission rear oil seal in place,
and mine is sheared off. Rather than get the tube, and have it pressed into
the old bell housing, it just occurred to me to look for a replacement bell
housing.

Also, this guy has tons of parts, in the event you need something:
