Market Place

It is in members’ interest to include engine and/or chassis numbers to prevent fraud. Advertisements in this section are free to members, unless business orientated, when a nominal charge will be levied at the appropriate rate. The AC Owners’ Club Ltd holds no responsibility for the items or services advertised. These advertisements will appear on the ACOC website by the middle of this month.

FRAUD WARNING:
A number of sellers have been approached recently by fraudsters posing as potential purchasers. Sellers are cautioned that their internet advertisements reach a wide audience and that they should beware of scam and “phishing” approaches. Under no circumstances should confidential information such as bank account or credit card details be divulged unless there is certainty about a purchaser’s credentials and honesty. When placing your “Market Place” advertisement please make it clear if you do not want it to appear on the ACOC website.

AC Parts
Re-built AC Ace/Aceca/2 litre & PVT Water Pumps all built within a new cassette that is inserted into the original nose body casting. This cassette incorporates two ball bearings and one roller bearing, together with a modern ceramic bellows seal. A new non metallic (no electrolytic corrosion), high output impellor is attached to the new stainless steel shaft, which now incorporates an Allen key facility at the pulley end to assist in tightening the pulley nut.
Externally the re-worked pump is indistinguishable to the original but has been completely re- engineered internally with a significant improvement in the pumps output. All as previously set out in the May 2021 issue of ACtion magazine.
Price £400.00

Greyhound Rear Windows

We are now down to the last screen of the last batch and as there is little cost benefit in numbers we will not be doing another batch. 

In future screens will be produced to order using the existing former. 

If your rear window is crazed or cracked contact. 

Contact John Goose: johngoose@btinternet.com, 01799 523202.
