1968 FWD 1300's

[Philip Jordan]

Are there many, if any, interchangeable parts between the FWD1300/1500 with Toledo or Dolomites or other models for that?  i.e. suspension, exterior/interior fittings (light clusters, particularly front sidelight and rear), chromework, door mechanisms for eg) Basically mechanical or bodywork that is compatible please?  I believe there isn't much but would appreciate thoughts on how other owners have faired sourcing what are now scarce parts!!

Thanks

Very little shared I think.

doors are same shape,

Toledo rear end very similar to 1300fwd.

Front if 1300fwd is unique

Some lights are same.

I remember reading about them, we have some nice models locally, and I've found they're bitsers from all sorts of different pre-existing models (including some GT6 switches!) but a goodly number of parts are unique.

I expect you're aready aware - but the Rotoflex drive couplings are the same as fitted to Vitesse Mk 2 and GT6 Mk 2 and early GT6 mk 3.
