Thanks Jim - and thanks for your offer of help as well!

Hey guys, Some of you might've seen my posts a couple of months ago - I had a small crash in my '72 Scamp. I went under the back of a pickup truck at about 15mph. It folded up my hood a bit and smashed the grille. I was absolutely panicking - They didn't sell Scamps/Dusters over her in...

...aaand good news. Insurance company has agreed to pay, including the UPS charge. will PM you.

Sorry to leave you hanging, mate - Insurance company is still dicking me around. I really appreciate your patience. If it sells before they get their act together, that's no worries. Also, I owe you a beer for wrapping it up and carting it to UPS and back for the quote!

Thanks JMacs.. Cleared it now!

Thanks JD - i wasn't on moparts. Will check it out.

I'd be grateful forever if you could see if they have a straight hood for a 70-72 scamp/duster.. If they do, i'll contact them and see if they'll ship overseas. I crashed my Scamp and am desperate!

Hey man - I'll take this, but would need shipping to Australia (Brisbane, QLD 4000) I know it's a pain, but I'd be so appreciative if you could investigate it. I'll pay all the costs, obviously. Crashed my Scamp today and they weren't sold here, so parts are a nightmare.

Wow, that is pretty close! Although I was in Omaha a few months ago, so it's not out of the question. Thanks for confirming those measurements.

I owe you a beer next time I'm in Nebraska.

Now I'm confused... Would you be able to give your measurements between spring perch centres (probably 43") and then distance from each perch centre to the pinion centre? By my calculations (if I'm understanding you properly), these should be 24" (43/2 + 2.5) and 19" (43/2 - 2.5)...

Mine is still left-hand drive, so my measurements will match yours! Would be great if someone could confirm the 2.5" offset to passenger side measurement though - I have been searching this forum and the rest of the web for days and have also seen references to a 1 3/8 offset. Thanks for...

Hey all, I'm currently building a Ford 9" for my '72 Scamp and am really struggling with how to set the housing up. My wife is using the Scamp as a daily driver, so I can't pull the current 7.25 to check measurements. I'm aware that factory is 43" between spring perches, so that's easy. I...

Pretty standard. I've gone down a different path and powered mine with a 200hp, 1441cc Kawasaki inline 4. What on earth do you guys power chainsaws with over there??
