I purchased an incomplete capstan winch for my Dormobile.
It's missing the driveshaft, operating lever and the part that bolts to the crank.
I'm looking to source these parts.

Thanks Jerry & Alex, I'd like to keep it fairly original so I'll stay with the limestone roof on the Land Rover, just trying to decide whether to eventually paint the Dormobile roof white or limestone. I'm guessing they weren't painted originally just left in the gelcoat which was probably white...

Was the Dormobile roof always white ? Gelcoat rather than painted ? On a mid 60's IIa you would end up with a Limestone roof with a white Dormobile top, is that correct ?

Hopefully you can salvage the seat frames, they seem to be the most difficult parts to locate.

Many thanks Michiel,

Wasn't quite what I'd imagined so thanks for posting the photos, off to the steel merchant tomorrow to buy some small angle iron.....
