New front crossmember on ebay

[Simon Jones]

This ebay listing is nothing to do with me & I wouldn't normally highlight an item on ebay for fear of pushing the price up, but as its a Buy It Now, I thought that it could be of use to someone who needs to replace a rusty / damaged front crossmember:

Unless he bought it at that price a few years back when the pound bought more from Japan .. Why not get one from a dealer and save the £10 post ..??

You could be right about your assumptions Mike. I've not heard of a Bongo specialist or parts supplier in Stirling, Scotland before.
Campercraft in Kirkaldy, Direct Campers in Kilmarnock, Campers Scotland in Tillicoultry, Calder Motors near Livingston and Highland Campers near Inverness are the only ones that spring into mind.

im with you on this one simon. if you know your going to possibly need parts in the future, buy them as they pass you, saves being in the position of stuck waiting or sourcing parts that may start to be more expensive or diff to obtain later.


up the hoarders .
funny though my mrs see's things differently.

I recall seeing these listed on ebay a while back from one of the Bongo parts suppliers for round about £60. Bongo spares are going to become more scarce as time goes by and the prices will naturally tend to go up, especially if they have to be shipped over from Japan. This chap seems to have bought it for his own use (he's possibly even a forum member) and it is no longer required, so is just trying to sell it on for someone else to use. I will be doing the same with some of my accumulated spares now I've changed from a diesel to a petrol Bongo.
