Can anybody tell me what BMC model had parts numbers beginning with 24G? I
have a chrome door sill kick strip I would like to identify - whole number
is 24G3754.
TIA

part numbers like that carried through a whole range of BMC cars, don't
look for just a particular model. |

I don't think the parts numbers have any significance model wise. Might be
worth putting a pic on a free site etc and posting the URL here - someone
might recognise it.

When I figure out how to photograph something 6 feet long and about 2 inches
wide in enough detail to make it recogniseable, a picture will be put on
flickr so you can all feast your eyes on it and say "Aha! That is for a
?????".

That description should narrow the possibilities somewhat. I was thinking
of individual to each doorway kick plates. But I can't think of any BMC
car with one that wide. I'm seeing my brother tomorrow so I'll ask him. He
had several large old BMC vehicles.
Possibly the Austin 3 litre - based on the 1800 bodyshell?

Digital camera ?
Just do an overall then a closeup of an important part for the detail.
Now I'm thinking estate wagon, van, rear opening. Wondering if that part
goes into Rover, Disco, Range, etc

I am wondering whether it might be something that goes across a vehicle |
rather than along it. 6 feet is enormous for a passenger door, but
quite feasible for the rear door of an estate.

I was assuming it went the length of the sill.

That was my first thought too, but it was described as a "chrome door |
sill kick strip" and I don't know of any door that is the same length as
a sill. 6 feet long and 2 inches wide doesn't remind me of a sill
decoration either.

A more accurate measurement today - its about 5foot 6inches in total length.
Square at one end, tapers at the other for the last foot or so. Flat face is
about 2 1/2 inches and has 3 lines of small indentations, and there is a lip
at 90 degrees of about 3/4 of an inch. And I only have one, not a pair, and
its definitely a sill strip, not a tailgate fitting.
My current thought is A60 Oxford/Cambridge. Possibly...

Not A60 series, and not A110 series, though they feature part numbers
very close to this one. The shape sounds very similar to the A60 kick
strip, but much longer. Also, the A60 kick strip was aluminium, and you
said this was chrome?

It is quite possibly aluminium - it's in a thick plastic protective wrapper |
stored in an unlit attic so most of the weight is quite possibly the
wrapper, and "chrome" could be "shiny aluminium". The digital camera should
be available soon, picture posted online asap.

Willy Eckerslyke <oss108no_spam@bangor.ac.uk> gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying:
Those pics also look like the front and rear door plates would be split
at the A-pillar, which the OP's description certainly doesn't mention. |
