1980 Australian hood frame and roll cage.

Post by Barnetbaz »

Hi,
Can anyone help me source hood frames and a roll cage for my 1980 Australian moke. Is the front hood frame the same as the english moke?

Cheers
Baz

The cage has a dog leg to clear the filler cap

Thanks for that, they may well still work because someone has previously ground off the attachment lugs, so in essence I can weld them back on where I need to. Where about a are you, maybe I could come and have a look?

:lol: I was down in Lincoln last weekend, visiting the out-laws. I’m around most of the time, just have a look in the latest copy of Moking for my contact details. (Or your members directory if you got one :wink: )

I have only just renewed my membership of the moke club and only have the September edition. Now, unless I’m being particularly blind and stupid this morning (which is completely possible!) I cannot find any contact details for yourself. I don’t have a members directory, 😐
