MQ/MK Patrol parts source

[RMP&O]

I am looking for a source for some parts for my 83 Patrol project. I can find a lot fo this stuff on my own but it comes from various places at various prices. I also have no idea on quality or the type of people I am buying from. So I am kind of looking for a good one stop shop to supply me with some things. Didn't want to use Nissan unless I have to...

These are,
-front and rear rubber flares
-gauges, 24v
-rear window shocks (hydralic pistons for the window)
-air cleaner upgrade
-turn signal assembly
-rubber body parts like the seals for the rear window and weather stripping
-long range fuel tank
-tail lights/turn siganls
-side marker lights
-aftermarket manual hubs, prefer AVM's
-electric fan upgrade for 24v SD33

My project is currently in the interior stage and some body stuff. My interior is stripped and soon will be getting it Rihno lined and then all interior panels made from diamond plate. Body is going to be cut down low and tucked. So during all this I could use the above listed parts....

Thanks

If you already have the rear window struts but they have lost their gas you may be able to get them recharged locally...
Thats all i did, got sick of being hit on the head by the window
Only cost about $30au

I have them and yes they are toasted. Did you have it done at a suspension shop. Local for me is not local at all...I live in the middle of nowhere. Nearest town of size is 100 miles and only 50,000 people. So sometimes traveling for stuff is more expensive than just buying new....it can take two trips to get things done and that is 400 miles.

Yea I know about it and check the site few times a week. Thanks for the link though. TraderNZ is a good one too, seen evreything on there from PTO's to diff's to trucks to turbos, at cheap prices. I was hoping for something along the lines of the OffRoad shop.com for new parts but with more parts and better prices. I need body rubber, few stock items and so forth. I suppose that just may end up being Nissan which is not better for prices at all.

na, ive got a mate a work who does it for a bit of a sideline, there are other places about which can do it tho, his business is Ballarat Strut Recharge, and i guess they do just that, I think it involves putting the struts into a sealed chamber and pressurising the chamber, the gas goes in through the shaft seal but cant get out when the external pressure is dropped.
A good suspension shop may have the gear, but im thinking it may be a specialist thing...

Measure the two lengths ...
1: extended length
2: compressed length

ring wreckers and get a unit that measures up the same.... I replaced mine with a "Ford bonnet gas ram " for $15 the pair

Right...this dawned on me today while working on the truck. Looked at them and went..duh I can get something just like this at a junk yard! I am just so used to having to source parts for the G60's to keep them stock and also because not much else works on them...this has made my thinking a bit narrow.
