Adam001 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Hi, I've spent the last few hours searching and hunting for info on cappings and flashings. The flashings have been easy and galv ones are not a problem to find...cappings however are proving to be a right pain! I've got a few part numbers one piece capping - RH MXC5968 LH MXC5969 or later version later RH LR019162 LH LR019163 two piece capping - piece one RH MWC4662 LH MWC4663 and piece 2 RH MWC3316 LH MWC3317 Basically I just want something to fit a 110 CSW that is galv but I can't seem to find a source...am I missing something or is there really a gap in this market? Happy to go second hand if that makes life easier?! Cheers, Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_pending Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Series 2/3 109 station wagon cappings will fit a 110. I got the rear pair on ebay for £20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 110 SW galv. ones are like hens teeth. 110 SW non-galv. ones are still rare, but far more findable. I found some non-galv. ones and will get them dipped. Seemed a far simpler option! Also has the benefit of being the later single-piece style. As above 109" SW ones will fit, though there are differences in the tube hole depths etc. Nothing insurmountable, just means using different clamp bolts for the side panels - and you may have to drill a few more/fewer rivet holes. 88" ones are the right length too, though the shape at the front end would be wrong. Nothing that can't be solved with a grinder and a bit of attention to tidy up the cut edge though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailysleaze Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I've only seen 3 pairs of galv 110 SW cappings on ebay this year. I bought one of them and paid £150 for the pleasure. I feel your pain having been through the same conundrum myself. Although you may be in luck with these right now: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3ccbb318cc *Kicking myself* There was a rumour that the puma ones were galvanised as standard?

Landy-Novice Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 galv' ones are just over rated IMHO i just replaced my non galv' one which lasted 23 years.. non galv' aren't rare, just where to look.. the ebay link above isnt for a CSW, but if your obsessed with galv' ones, buy these (below), sand blast them and get them dipped. bob's your uncle, fanny's your aunt. http://www.johncradd...tion-wagon.html http://www.johncradd...-wa138480-.html and like pat-pending, i have some rear cappings for sale.. hope this helps.

Adam001 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Think going by this I'll just go non-galv, can do it for around the £100 mark. Not a fan of getting them galv'd myself as the consensus seems that they will warp and £300 from ashtree seems a bit excessive (much like their other prices, guessing they must be excellent quality!) My current ones lasted 24 years so we'll see what a new set can manage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 you could strip the new ones & give them a few coats of galvafroid paint then a coat of p[rimer & preferred colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam001 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Yeah I'll buy them and see what the current protection is like and go from there. Lots of other things to do on the car so don't want to waste too much time on these retched things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4444244 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 if youre worried about warping get them plated, my bulkhead cost £40 to get zinc electroplated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
