Hi All, As some parts become more difficult/expensive to obtain, I have noticed some great suggestions on the board here that have helped and saved me £££.......i.e Ford Ka wiper Arms, picked up a pair with blades for £5 off ebay a couple of weeks ago. Also recent topic re Wiring - Mk1 Range Rover rubber cable protectors, do the job!...... from that link posted re electric window switches. I know not original parts but I think we all agree the objective is to keep as many Matra's on the road as possible. I would rather save the money on these items and have the ££ available for parts when I need to use a Matra Specialist. Is there anyway we can keep track of these alternative parts, where they are correctly documented with photos etc? The MEC has an alternative parts list and part numbers but these are mostly for service items. http://www.matraclub.org.uk/PartNumbers.htmlCheers Derek

In my quest for alternative rubber, I have been busy with this one. ![](http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/8239/p1000837medium.jpg) I couldn't find a possebillity to make it fit, besided that it is not hard enough. I replaced it for a aftermarket one from Carjoy/Simon. It is a bit harder then the original, but be carefull with what you put there. The rubber is very specific, and to much play or wrong rubber can kill the mounting or leave you with unwanted vibrations, and then you have a expencive problem. Also see this topic. http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/index.php/topic,1417.0.htmlI have a defect spare to experiment with alternative rubber. Stil couldn't find anything that has good specs.

I remember the topic as I had commented there myself. I read it again and saw that Anders had a new style mount, where the holes do not go through all the way, but are offset 90 degrees. Anders. Did you get that mount from Simons? and did you pay 117€ for it? Also I have tried to measure the exact diameter of the hole in the mount, but with the bushing in place I could not be sure I got it right. Has any of you got the exact measurements written down?
