I'm now going to be very generous and offer out the last two that I have at the price stated above. I will definitely be getting some more made for me, even though it will be more expensive. The question is does anybody else want some? Sadly the price goes on area volume, not quantity, so no savings to be made there but there is a minimum charge that can be surpassed with greater numbers.

I fully appreciate people have made their own and that 'turboade820' has a product but these are far and away easier being a perfect fit replacement. There will be about a month before I place the order, so let me know and serious takers only please as otherwise it could have a knock-on effect to price for the rest of us.

So, form and orderly queue and lets's be knowing...

I will have an investigation of my fleet and work out how many cars need them. It's at least 1, and possibly 3!!!

Well, there are two available now (£25 posted) and/or wait until the next batch.

I'm glad I've had any response, genuinely didn't expect to really... :)

Know the quality of the sills. :)

Considering getting 3 Fuel Fillers too!!!

Then I am probably going to Polybush the 2 Vitesse's and the 2.7 coupe.

Could be an expensive year. And a busy one!!!
1st, gotta finish the Fastback Vitty before I do the sills, engine and box on the Coupe Vitty!

Any more bumper brackets available? TGM is going in for a bit of a tidy up and it will need some. A set of four please?

Couple of options there if you have no response from here. :wink: :D

If you bear with me, I am looking to develop my ideas. I personally don't like the metal ones you can get on eBay, mostly because they don't fit, and yes I have tried them. Furthering the design at the beginning of this post, using SLS or newer MJF manufacturing, I could very soon have a very cost effective product better than anything else out there.

What are SLS and MJF manufacturing Mark? Not heard either of those terms before!

Selective Laser Sintering and Multi Jet Fusion.

SLS is what the first lot were made from and MJF is a newer technology that apparantly has huge potential.

I have modified the design of the bracket to remove redundancy and improve strength and grip. I am just finalising prices and will be able to report back soon.

I would upload a CAD and a prototype but right now I have a broken link. Hopefully later.

Essentially they are different types of 3D printing as well as the common, inexpensive Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). These are the ones you can buy from around £250 or so but even then can deliver very usable parts.
