The descriptions are often a bit strange, I guess due to the translation. They list both the gearbox x-member and front chassis section x-member. They are listed in different sections. It sounds like lots of people have struggled with motomobil. I was just impressed with the parts I managed to get that I just couldn't find over here for my diff. I guess the proof will be in the pudding when I go to fit them.



any idea where the proper one is then as I couldn't find it.


My Bad, its a front valance, not the complete cross member, sorry :(

Front spring hanger sections arrived within 48 hours of ordering, they look decent quality too.
Front spring, rear shackle bushes worked out less than £4 each, again in stock for dispatch, look good quality.
Diff pinion oil seal, crush tube, half shaft gaskets, orings, diff housing gasket etc all in stock and all arrived within 48 hours of payment.

I know people have been disappointed by them, but i thought i would let you know my experience, its an option at least if you're struggling to find the parts in the UK

cost me just over a tenna postage, email is the way to go, swift replies, very efficient service indeed.
Ive not fitted the parts yet but they look a lot closer than the diff pinion seals and crush tubes sent to me by british suppliers, that i know dont fit, dont ask me how i know :evil:

They are very good I've used them myself but alot of the panels are listed but not available and they have no supplier for them. They list the front valance but don't stock it and can't supply it either. It's another panel that im planing on fabricating.

+1 here so far, I blundered across their site while googling for parts, prices look good and so I ordered some very similar bits as you did for my Type 34 read end; half shaft gaskets and the big axle orings (both seem to be a bit hard to find elsewhere), pinion seal and rear hub seals. Took a wee while to get to NZ by slow post, but parts here and fitting them at the moment.
I reckon the website is laid out quite well, it's easy to follow the parts categories and Transit models.
