Ah, no. Mine is the earlier type with the std rubber gaiter and steel hold down ring (oblong). Mine has a split in the gaiter, but I can glue it up, just would be nice to have a mint one. Ta for the photo though.

As the bus is still not back I thought i´d make the most of the decent weather and I "popped" down to the Westerwald area (400miles there and back) to pick up this little beut.... ![](http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa102/oldbus64/Bus/3008003.jpg) Front axle off a MKII Grananda 2.8i Now all I have to do is get it to fit the van! ;D ![](http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa102/oldbus64/Bus/3008002.jpg) We took ripped it out in about an hour and as we´d set off early were back home for lunch, which gave us the afternoon to get stuck into the Capri ![](http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa102/oldbus64/Capri/3008005.jpg) but I think i´d better start another thread for that ;D 1978 MKIII Capri

Funny you should ask. I was away yesterday and today with work and got home this afternoon to find my van had been delivered to a local workshop..(they won´t recover to a private adress for some reason..) so dragged it home with the misses. ![](http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa102/oldbus64/Bus/0209002.jpg) So all is well at oldbus castle, the van made it back (after 17 days) in one piece,well except for the few bits i scattered all over the M25 ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) No pics of "hole in sump" yet but i think i´ll keep this sign though........ ![](http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa102/oldbus64/Bus/0209001.jpg) As i´m knee deep in Capri bits at the moment i´ll weld up the Capri floor before i get stuck back into the van... i can´t get the van into the garage anyway..... ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ![](http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa102/oldbus64/Capri/0209003.jpg)
