SPARE PARTS

THIS IS A MEMBERS ONLY SERVICE

The Riley Motor Club of Victoria stocks spare parts for Pre-war and Post-war Rileys, and has access to many more. The parts are sourced from local and overseas manufacturers, the UK Clubs and the Riley Motor Club of Australia (N.S.W.) Spares can also be purchased directly from these other clubs, but you may have to be a member to purchase their spares.

Three spare parts officers handle different categories of spares, Post War Spares are handled by Bruce Dobney, and Max Robe, and Pre-War by Colin Dennis.The Riley Motor Club of Victoria has many special tools for RM Series cars, that can be borrowed by Members to assist in the maintenance and repair of them. The photograph below shows the various extractor tools, a torsion bar setting gauge, special spanners and other tools to assist in the maintenance of your RM Riley. Contact Bruce Dobney to inquire what is available.

It is recommended you contact the relevant spare parts officers when seeking spare parts. These people will advise you on what is available, and if the part you require is not in stock they will advise you on potential sources from which the part might be obtained.

Where the total cost of a request for spares that are not in stock is greater than $100 a pre-payment of 50% of the estimated total cost may be required.

Post War Cars

Engine Components including Radiator Hoses and belts, Brakes, Body Rubbers, Chrome Trim and Used Parts are handled by Bruce Dobney. Please ring Bruce, rather than emailing him.

1. Suspension including bushes, Carburettor, Electrical, Ignition, and Regalia, are handled by Max Robe.
2. The club does not carry stocks of parts that are readily available from retail suppliers including belts, bearings, filters and electrical items. Details of some of these parts are in sub page Routine Maintenance Spares.

Below is the Post-War List.

Ordering Post War Parts

We use the naming convention in the RM Workshop Manual for RM parts eg AA10.40. That is:  page AA10, item 40. The pages are the diagram pages; not those where the items are listed. Please use this convention when requesting a part. It will help the spares people a lot.

To assist you identifying part numbers, The Riley Motor Club of Victoria’s Library has many technical books and manuals that can be borrowed. (See Library tab on main menu)

The following new RM spare parts are now available from the Riley Restorers Club (Qld) www.riley-restorer.com

The NZ Online Library also has Spare Parts catalogues and books for Post-war and Pre-War Rileys for viewing or downloading. (A link to the site is a the bottom of the page)

Used Parts, from October 2024, these are being relocated to Queensland to form a national repository for second hand parts held by the Riley Restorers Club. They are provided free to members, but freight will be the Members responsibility. The club carries no responsibility for the condition of these items and they are used by members completely at the member`s risk. Members are therefore advised to assess the state of the item or get it assessed and use it accordingly. It is your responsibility not the club`s if something goes wrong.

Pre-War Cars

         All spares for pre-war cars are handled by Colin Dennis. Colin advises: “I carry a variety of gaskets for 9s, 12/4s and 6s, front end parts (kingpins, bushes, ball joints etc), some brake parts, pistons, valves, speedo and distributor drive gears, some rubber bits, water pipes, some generator brushes, to name a few”. Not all of these parts are available all  of the time.”
