Hello,

I was wondering does anyone know where i can pick up a new bonnet/drivers side fender. Preferably in white?

Mine are pretty banged up and i want to replace them, unfortunately i can't afford to buy a carbonfiber bonnet yet and the dent in the bonnet is to big to bog up unless i carbon wrap it.

Any online wreckers to suggest? I emailed http://www.nisswreck.com.au/ about them and they quoted me $1000 for them with no dents/rust and such. But wouldn't show me pictures until i paid for them, Has anyone used them before?

Any suggestion/ideas or links to places would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Zac

$1000 for a bonnet and driver side fender? That is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over priced. There aren't any if not very few online wreckers besides ebay due to the fact that there are so many parts to list and the time invested into putting it online isn't worth it. Rather just put it up on gumtree and ebay.

It's unethical for a business to not supply photos to a prospective buyer, but then again many buyers waste wreckers time by simply not responding etc. Nisswreck have bought off me before and I know a few people who hasn't had any problems using them.

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
