ebay seller Greg Page from 4WD_products sent me a parts list for the items they sell for Patrol 60's (1960-1980)
I am attaching it.
There are a couple of things I need that I haven't found on any other lists. If this has already been submitted, I apologize for duplicating. I haven't seen anything from them yet.
This ebayer is the one selling the brake cylinders. There communication is fantastic!

What a very promising list! If they can actually supply everything on that list that's a Patrol gold mine!

There are some parts that have no price. I am assuming they are the items that aren't available. The prices are in AUS dollars. Actual price is a tad cheaper. But then you have to factor in shipping

Antiquecycles, you were concerned about asking too many questions... and know, you are giving us all these answers... THANKS!!! Great list.

OMG! WOW! If this list pans out, this has got to be the find of the century!

I think I've talked to this guy befor. Don't think he actually has all the parts. Just a list and prices. I could be wrong but when I first got my Patrol I had them send me a list of parts But they stated they may or may not actually have the parts. Will look back through my emails and see if I can find it.... hope i'm Wrong.

Yeah- my red patrol has an original locking cap and one day I shoved the key in there and it locked, and then unlocked just fine.

Then a few weeks later I needed to add some gas and I shoved the key in and nothing. It wouldn't budge - wigggling, jiggling, WD-40 I tried everything I could to get the darn thing to unlock. Finally, I carefully pried it off, and went ahead and ground off the locking tab.


Now I have an orignal LOOKING, but non-locking gas cap.

Never had that problem was the tabs bent or something, when i got my 66 it handnt been filled up in the tank for years and ran just a jerry can, Gas cap was locked, but it unlocked first go, and hasnt played up, i have opened it several times since

Good info with that list of parts in pdf form but I would be wary. They don't seem to understand the G60 didn't come with a P40 but rather the P engine. They also are listing timing chain for the P40 which is way wrong. P engine does not have a chain it has gears, P40 has a chain though. P engine is 1960-1979. P40 is 1980-onward. You would think a supplier of parts would know this and if you bought the timing chain stuff, had it sent all the way over here that would be a big waste of money.

Absolutely dislike the stock gas caps. They are cool looking and I like original but I opened up a box the other day, NOS cap in it that was not cheap at all and the key cover fell right off. Disassemble the cap to find it has hardly any flaring on the pin that is supposed to hold the cover on. After 50yrs, sure they wear out and need help but an NOS cap that cost mucho $$$, big disappointment. Now I have to drill and tap it, not looking forward to that since it is so darn small. 6-32 tap is even to big, going to have to try and order something smaller.

Great info here

But NOS cap I have has a leather sealing seal not cork or rubber. There is a place that still sells NOS caps, I believe they are for the roadster but they are very expensive and you may end up dealing with what I got to deal with after shelling out big bucks for a new cap.
