    LB build. X1/9: duel rear canopy release levers, column shroud, ign barrel ....

    Ok so it's probably 9 months from my LB kit delivery but starting to collect the donor parts. Have quite a few parts already but looking for: X1/9 Double release lever for rear canopy. Boot / Bonnet catch. R/H side Targa canopy Latch. Steering column top and bottom shroud (suitable for LB stradale (X1/9 1300?)), ign/ lock barrel with keys
    Cheers
    Neil

    I might have the steering column shroud. Will check tomorrow.

    Thank you. Would you still mind if I popped over for a chat some time. My Capri 3.0s is now sold and I've just bought an Alfa 166 3.0 manual. My plan is to have engine and box built before LB kit arrives c March 18. Regards Neil

    If Leigh doesn't have a column shroud, I have the correct X1/9 item for the Stradale dash.

    Hi Neil,
    I wasn't happy with the condition or asking price for the X1/9 boot and engine cover catches so I picked up a couple of these instead
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fiat-Coupe...1/272266909135
    Dimensionally identical except for slightly longer actuation lever - brand new still in packaging

    I needed to replace a broken ignition switch on my 1300 steering column and (I think) I got one of these after convincing myself it was the same item (various part number cross-referencing lists)
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIAT-DUCAT...8/190631841494
    There were plenty of new X1/9 items listed for sale but all seemed expensive and van parts were cheap

    I struggled for the 1300 column shroud and ended up with one from these guys

    Hope that helps,
    Graham

    Also, I may be wrong (and someone will correct me if I am) but re your need for a RH targa canopy latch, once the mounting brackets are machined up I think the LH and RH are interchangeable - you just push the pins through from the other side to covert LH to RH and vice-versa ?

    Graham - good finds there on the catches and ignition lock . The lock is much cheaper than I paid!

    Graham. Great find. I have bought the catches and ign. Thank you. Interesting on the Targa catches as I bought 2 x LH from mid west bayless and 1LH/RH pair from elsewhere so probably have what I need then.

    If you haven't already found it - targa catch modification and refurb is covered in great length here

    I made my own springs when I did mine which was "educational" and I'm going to try the "chicago screws" pin replacement on a spare one I picked up later
