Bits needed for Grace's ute

Not in any rush, but looking to get hold of the following. Not particularly looking for mint-Nasco, more like well-worn and useable. Happy to pay a decent price and postage.

a) ute towbar. Note that sedan and wagon towbars do not fit.
b) ute jack and jack handle (if I understand correctly these are a squat jack, square drive, foldable long handle??).
c) vanity mirror (I know... gimme a break... its a ladies ute after all).

Cheers,
Harv

Harv I am pretty sure I have a later wibroc one - chrome back not hammertone paint like the earlier ones. Mirror cracked but if you want it it's yours gratis.

Thanks Dan. The one I am thinking of clips to the sunvisor, similar to the attached file. Is this the type that you have?

Mines a wibroc Harv - having said that so are all the nasco ones in the holden catalogue (same factory). I would think it's not period correct and probably 1968ish. But pop a mirror in and polish it up and she will be great.

I have the correct nasco one in the EJ and I just sold my spare a few months back. If you can get a nasco one (most are unstamped too btw - add a premium if the nasco logo is there) it'll run you at least $150 on the bay.

Thanks Dan. Yep, that’s the type I am after. I’ll shoot you a PM.

Harv, If you can't find a ute towbar closer to you, I can take a look at 'Early Holden Spares' if you like?.....He's not too far from me and has an extensive range of early bars.
