    Well, these beat cars are a good game! The exhaust is proving a pain. While waiting for "mamook" dave to let me know i thought i would try a honda dealer in france. I rang my nearest dealer (100km+ away), spoke in my best french and tried to explain what i was after. "do you have a chassis number sir" the receptionist asked, i duly gave her the number. "sorry sir, all chassis numbers should be 17 digits", "are you sure its a honda sir". I asked if she would like the part number, gave her the part number. "but these cars were never sold in france sir". i know that, i said but can you order me one from japan. "but why do you want one? these cars are not in france sir", because i'm restoring an old one i have here in france, i said. Sorry sir, and the phone was cut !!
    if i dont manage to get dave "mamooks" old one, does anyone have any good good uk dealers contact details, where they have successfully ordered one?

    most Honda dealers are ok for parts i think?
    my local one is Brindley Honda 01543 330714, Richard i think is parts guy
    i seem to recall 6-8 weeks waiting time but i was in no hurry anyway, wasn't fitted for over a year!
    i'm not over again until last week of July but can bring over if needed?

    planned to but need to bring some materials over, the usual stuff that's cheaper in UK than France...oh hold on, everything!!
    washed clothes, mirrors, screws, sealants of various kinds, small PVCu window as in 600mm wide by 470mm high, double-glazing glass unit 800 x 500 and may need to get some Placo and chevrons as we're fitting 3x Velux's so need a trailer when there so it's the CMax again.
    we do usually drive the Beat for Summer over there, Belgium first for a week at Ypres rally then down to cottage but not quite practical this time
