Hi Jimmy

Welcome onto the site and as another from the UK I have to say that if your looking for bits on Ebay, the UK sites is hardly any use whatsoever, use Ebay.com and there's masses more results on the US site.

Welcome! I lived in Northern England for two years and got the chance to visit Scotland many times. I loved the Highlands, even crashed a car there once. What years are your 500 and 250?
