    Sprung shovel seat backs are not a problem. the "springs" are only 
1"x 1/8" black steel strip (galvanised of corse). Seat bases are the 
same for all 80's. The lamps are a bit more of a problem but they are 
around, just got to keep looking.
    To save a reply to your other email, re the swivel housing, yes, I 
do have a bottom swivel. How to get it to you on time is the problem. 
Another solution would be to take a whole axle assembly with you since 
you are not concerned with having brakes. Simply bolt a whole swivel 
assembly onto the diff housing. Which side is it? I have a couple of 
them too, bit hard to post though, you may have to swing by to pick up 
if you decide to go that way. I am on the right side of Canberra for you 
to swing by and head on out towards Yass.
    PS, did not go to the sale, lots of domestics etc. to attend to 
after two and a bit days down in Sydney. Did go over to Temora yesterday 
and took the Mk.III Auster out for a blast. Will be going over again on 
Friday afternoon for the museum weekend. Hopefully there will be time 
for another little run or some circuits.
    Cheers
