now then, you can buy the rail that the rear view mirror fixes to also you can get the side and rear rail but i cannot find the corner to join the front and side together.
obviously this is the piece I need!
Anyone have any input?
I need someone with a scrap shell that I could cut the corner out of maybe.

Which side do you need or is it both ?

I might be able to help, having replaced adjacent panel work on my pick up by using sections of a scrap shell and drilling the welds out to separate the component parts.

Its the drivers side, any help would be useful!
Just starting my project and hit depression, got to keep going! Arrrrgh!

I'll see what I can find tomorrow Dan and let you know.

If you want some inspiration at what can be done, have a look at my '75 pick up project thread. Unless its as bad as my shell was, don't worry too much

I would say mine is very bad, but I can see past all the panels I need to replace.
Something like that rail corner are hard to make if you cannot find one! I've ordered some panels for the front end to get me started.

Pretty sure I can help with that, but will let you know for sure tomorrow PM.

hi Dan
there are two types of corner piece , early up to sept 64 are rounded in the corner and the later hydo shell ones have a flat area where the swinging visor goes .you say yours is 65 then it should have the flat with holes
I have just bought the only bmc nos one I have ever seen for my 65 shell that I am going to build .

If I have one, it definitely won't have the hole in it.

Update...

Looks like I cut through the corner piece in order to separate the remains of the cant rail from the roof and pillar sections

I'm surprised nobody makes them, seems a few people need them.
I think I'm going to have to find a later one and modify to suit! The cant rails seem a similar profile?

Nick, where did you get yours from?

There must have been two of those !
Only the L/H wiper hole to weld up , pity there's not an image of the back , fingers cross mines a 65
Did you try him with the post?
Mind you most of its the international part, they will just post them to a depot .I bet they put them all together, so should give a discount!

Just had a trawl through his items, can't see any others.
Gutted.

Looks like most the mk1 panels have gone since that link
To be honest I wasn't sure if the screen frame I bought came with the panel you want .. So I may have a spare for you also
