Hiya the man you need to get friendly with is Peter Archer Forktruck transporter(near the belfery golf corse)he’s foden mad.
rush green have some. you’ll pay about £200-250 for a screen. mal sample at summerford nr congleton has 20 or so old fodens
plus spares then you have john…(i’ll have to come back with that name)he has foden parts remade (he’s near sandbach at arclid.)
where are you in the UK??
good luck John

Hi John
Thanks for the info,im based at Chepstow if your not to far away and want to come and see the lorry let me know.

Try talking to John Pearson in Coventry. He’s the leading Foden restoration man.

hiya has 717 got twin (chinese eye) head lights or the rectangle ones. is the screen one piece.
or better lets haave a front veiw.the headlights look round which would say a newer cab has been supplied.
i have a pal who run a mobile foden spares van he knows of wrecks
sitting to be robbed for spares.i know all the people mentioned so can cotact them as friends,
except Peter Archer. Asley Pearson will have a good idea of suppliers for Foden parts.

Hi John
Will take some more pics and put them on when I get chance, the original cab has twin round headlights but the whole cab needs lots of work.
Have a second cab which I plan to use which has rectangular headlamps.

Hiya… the name i was looking for was John Sanderson from Smallwood.the rectangle lights may be a problem.
if your fitting the round 5 inch ones. go to E bay key in 5 inch headlights it comes up with a capri conversion.
go for them, you fit 24 volt bulbs.i did with my AEC it only cost £60 for four units. the 24 volt sealed beams
was around £150 each if and when they come up for sale
