Subject: Re: New Parts
I've got a pretty good handle on what is available and where from. Tyres and exhausts would be a good area for us to get together on, I am guessing we would need a minimum order of 3 to make a significant impact - as in three exhausts - 3 full set of tyres etc. I have my original exhaust which I am planning to get copied in s/s, should be much cheaper than Quicksilver. Aaron Radiator Co were doing an alloy rad for £350 last year but now they are £600, we may be able to get them to do the deal again...
Fuel tanks - AM Services Dorset will make them - but for a cost, fortunately mine have been renewed / refurbished at some point.
Carpets - I plan to buy Wilton carpet, copy the pattern from the original, and then get them professionally finished. A bulk purchase of 1" sound proofing felt could be required - it's more expensive than the carpet.
Pilkington will make the front screen for £450, I have mine already. Rears are available from AMS Dorset for around £600, probably from Pilkington originally.
I really would like to avoid putting cross ply tyres on, I have a few very cost effective ideas in mind but I am researching these at the mo...
In conclusion...count me in on batch buying!
