Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Murcielago

[BigPines]

I continue to make updates to the first post. I found lots of new info.

I hope String chimes in on this eventually. He is the master of this sort of thing and probably know all kinds of stuff we have missed.

Guys, there is a really good post on the third brake light here: http://lamboclone.com/index.php?topic=994.msg9491#msg9491

Please advise the OEM part number that you found on another vehicle and which vehicle it is in and I'll add it to the list. For now, it looks like the MG F High Level light is the only drop in part we are aware of.

Thanks for sharing the picture Jay.  I'm also going with Watson now and I was wondering what to do about latches.  I have two different sets of Mercedes latches and one of the set's looks like what is in your picture.

Anyone building a Watson or Extreme body and used a donor door latch other than one from a Lamborghini?  Can any of the Mercedes door latches be used on a Murci / LP640 body that's splashed from an original body?

Thanks,

Chris

I have an extra set of latches for anyone who needs it. They're $150 shipped.

Are they Mercedes and if can you post a picture?

Thanks,

Chris

You make a great point Eddie. That should be noted for G28 builds. I'm planning an OEM coupe build but I don't want to exclude G28s and roadsters for this list. This should help everyone.

I'll add the G28 latch/catch in there but I'd prefer more specific information if possible (years, models, etc.).

[Tallon]

g28 and oem/watson bodies use two different latches, g28 door jam isn't like oem
we usually call it W126 for g28, inner mount

[eddie]

pardon me for asking ,don't they use a pre 73 Mercedes latches?? outer mount

Also, look at the top piece/blade, it is a completely different shape. I had a hard time finding pics of them closed as well.

I think you are onto something with the Maserati seat belt adjusters.

I gotta run right now but I'll come back and update this more when I get back later today.
