For Sale or Wanted / Hillman 1600

Last post by Doozer - October 08, 2025, 11:23:09 AM

Greetings all, maybe some can help out.
I'm after either a hot cam from a 1600 hillman or a complete head?

If anyone has one sitting around or knows of someone, let me know.

Many thanks
Errol.

What are we talking about cost wise for the actual boot lid? The Tiger type spoilers are available here but I prefer the moulded type, as I think they break the lines of the car up less.

From memory, I thought they did a black rubberised version in the same style as yours (like the Escort and Capris) but I could be wrong?

Thanks.

only 11 years later Yeah the "Black rubber" was an addon available back in the 80's & 90's though I have not seen alternative recently (might be time for a deep dive into Google hah

2025 Update : mine is fine : putting it in the car when the paint was still wet probably is why it's flaked off the fan shroud..

I hear its around $600 these days the re-core according to new member Simon

Materials & Labour costs have risen etc

FYI I've also Commissioned these :

"Aunger Style" Screw on Caps for my Hotwire's



Gunna adjust to put the Avenger Logo on top (or Datsun / Toyota / Mazda)

yeah could 'just do a sticker'

will evaluate / test them a bit more before "releasing"

asking $15 each printed = $60 a set of 4x (Thinking 'free' reprints if they fail within 5x years etc)

or putting the STL online for a couple bucks

will also explore the Press in style for Cheviot / ROH's and Wards

utilising / "re-modeling" existing models like https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:703553
