The list is growing for the refurb of Mr Pickles!

Anyone have some tips on finding:

Replacement door lock and keys
Rear light clusters
Rear number plate light
Front box for gas bottles/storage
Window locks
Side reflectors, not sure what these are but I have two, small triangle shaped set of three screws on the top edge of the offside of the caravan.

Look on Western Towing website for lights & reflectors, they have a good selection. I doubt you will get perfect match but it will be close.

Replacement door lock and keys - you need to measure it exactly... and the inside as well - and take note of the shape - but most are standard so you shouldn't have a problem replacing it.

You could maybe just replaced the barrel part of the lock.

And there are more how to do videos for replacing bits and bobs on caravans on YouTube.

Youd be cheaper to buy a donor caravan.

door lock; either a caraloc 400 or a 700 £19-25 on ebay
rear lights;£30 pair; ebay (square corners) rounded corners you will struggle to find now. the two reflectors you have would have been fitted in the middle of the original rear lights.
window locks I have a full set (price on request)
the triangle shapes near top of roof will be for an awning tube fittment.
I rebuild Sprites and other vintage vans. let me know if I can help.

Desperately needing replacement roof light for our vintage 1970s Sprite Compact! Wasn't fixed down and blew away somewhere. The space is 9.5" x 9.5".   Still got the inside piece for little wheels to run. Maybe one from similar age Sprite would fit?

Your best bet is probably a caravan breaker. There are quite a few about if you google.

Another place to try might be the retro caravan club.

Hi

I have just bought a sprite musketeer cd, unfortunately some of the window locks are damaged.

Just wondering if you still have any of the locks still in stock

Cheers
