I have recently purchased my A5 Mule in the UK and intend to restore it to its former glory ready for the War & Peace show in July. Im after some spares to make my Mule 100%.
Parts needed are:
Engine guard
Steering access hatch
Side and rear rails
Lifting handles
Data plates
Im also hoping to add a passenger seat & basket if i can source them.
Can anyone suggest a supplier either in the UK or a US supplier that could ship these into the UK?
Anyones help or suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks!
Mule Newbie

Re: Mule Newbie
A5's were 2-wheel steer and did not have the steering access hatch in the deck. Is your deck magnesium or aluminum? Need to make sure what model you have before you order data plates. John Emery has rails and data plates. Engine guards are almost impossible to find now, along with the steering covers, can't remember when I saw one last. You might want to look at the passenger's seat foot basket that MMA offers.

Re: Mule Newbie
Thanks for your input. Has certainly opened my eyes! Its definitely a two wheel steer model but looks like some items have been removed as there are studs in the rear axle where the rear steering arm sits. I have an electric start and the A0-42 engine. Possibly have a hybrid of a few variants.
I shall do more research before purchasing any items.

Re: Mule Newbie
There are couple of us on this forum that are going to start making engine guards, if that's helps you.
I'm in U.S. Kentucky.

Re: Mule Newbie
Ok, so re-reading my first post, I feel slightly embarrassed about my lack of knowledge!
After lots of reading and a detailed inspection of my Mule, I have discovered that I own an A2 variant, which has had lots robbed off it. Missing the complete rear steer system, poorly made steering box bracket, etc, etc.
I have a very good engineer here in the UK who is fabricating various brackets and linkages for me, so fingers crossed I will be ready for the War & Peace show in July. I'm going to attempt making a set of rails myself, and if successful I will try the engine guard and foot basket.
One piece of information I an't find is the cubic capacity of the A0-42 engine. I desperately need to find out to complete my registration application. (Yes, i'm crazy enough to register the Mule to go on the roads)
If anyone knows the CC and could share it with me, I would be a very happy bunny
If anyone is interested in my progression, I can take photos as I achieve each goal & post on here.
