fuel Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Sorry to see that! I too was sad to see the sight of a busted Eager knowing that it would probably be hard to find a replacement - would look so dumb if the insurance co replaced just one tyre with a Linglong or something. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Worst thing is those tyres are a particularly cunty one to replace. They are a GR width which has no direct metric equivalent, they came off an American import with next to zero miles on them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63Ragtop Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Oh Bugger! damage don't look to bad kk, shame about the tyre. Don't let the bean counters fuck you over! insist it get put back same for same. Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Argue the collectable tyre aspect, not dissimilar to a fine cuban cigar, as long as you don't put them up in smoke they are covered 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â That said the boss got a side cut for his XE ute privately because PT failed at coming back with anything. Â Give the young fella you got it from a ring, he's probably got some hookups/connections. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Yeah they've had it on PT for 2 weeks now and managed to get a tailight but I think he said it was scratched and a corner is broken off. I think he has got that at least so when I take it away while trying to find the bits it will have working tail lights. Could just leave it to the panelbeater to find the parts but I'm fine to help out where I can. Will pop in and see him Wednesday and see how shits going anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Found a taillight it seems (see Clints reply above) tyres look to be sortable and the mirror is the next sticking point. Â 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Did you manage to find another tyre the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Nah, going to get a pair of 245-50-14's (the only size Eagers are still made in) and fit them to the front then move the 2 front GR-60-14's to the rear and keep 1 spare GR-60--14 in stock for just in case. (eventually I'll put the GR-60-14's on the 9" rims) Still waiting to hear if insurance is going to pay for a pair or if I'm going to need to pay for 1. Hopefully they pay for the pair because it's considered impossible to match them. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
