Hi All. Have I gone mad and can someone just check my sanity for me!

It is a RHD 66 with 3 windows down the right hand side and 3 on the left (1 in each cargo door and 1 in the rear panel)
So why can't i find a repair panel that has 3 windows for the right side of my bus?
I can find 4 -
Or 2 -
Am I missing something???

These are made by Autocraft Engineering and are special made to order. Ring them and ask if they will make a three window section for your 1966 RHD. Karl made me a swage line strip section to order.

Whilst trying to find a 3 window repair panel (they don't exist by the way and you buy a 4 and enjoy having a spare bit lying in your garage!) I spoke with C&C to ask if they were able to get them through KlassicFab? The answer is now no as they no longer import from KlassicFab and are running down their current stock. I called KlassicFab US and they told me they now have a European distribution arm in Valencia. Sure enough they do and this is the website -

Not all of the panels etc from the US site are on the EU site but if you want something from the US site they will get it for you. I ordered 2 cab door frames from the US site on the 22nd May and emailed KF Europe the part numbers and they arrived yesterday. Great communication (they use GLS for courier which took 12 days).
hope this helps someone out there.
