CP Kits, opinions please
 

Hi fellow forum members,

I've been having a think about how to make things easier to do, i have had a look at the CP plates to begin with and this is what i have come up with. Other parts will be looked at to help help make things easier & reduce costs where ever possible.







The parts that make up the suspension towers, CP3, CP4 etc etc have been designed to key together to make life a bit easier. The shock brackets then slot in and when in place are 19mm away from the edge to correctly locate tube RS15. CP14 is cut to the correct length and I have put a small cut out in it to point out which way up it should go. Other little tweeks here and there have been done too.

So what do we all think?

Cost will be for a full set of plates (CP1 to CP25) including the shock brackets is a very reasonable £75 collected, or if you require it posted £79.99

If you are interested in one of these kits, drop me a PM,

That is a very cool idea my friend! Quality products making life easier for the average Joe.

I'd have bought that if I was back at that stage;)


Thats a good innovation -I particularly like the idiot-proof bracket location:D

Well done

Regards

Hi I like that idea and would not mind buying a set the only problems is I'm all the way in south africa so if I may ask would there be drawings for this kits or will that not be possible ?

Brilliant idea!! Too late for me but maybe when I go to on to the 2nd build.

There's certainly the posibilty to do that, but there would be conditions obviously ;)

Drop me a PM and we can discuss it

Yes of course what will those terms and conditions be

Nothing sinister :D just the usual ones that keep my Intelectual Property Rights safe.

Yes of course I understand but its just for personal use not sharing it with the world I believe that respecting a persons ideas and not exploiting it

So if you don't mind to share those drawings you can email it to me if you don't mind my email is rjt.correia@gmail.com

Great idea!!! any chance of applying the same concept to a kit for the pedal box? I'd be interested

Smart design :cool:

Ricky, I get stuff sent to the USA from the UK. It is way easier to pay a little postage than to spend a bunch of time trying to save a nickel.

Hi I understand what you saying but to get stuff sent from the uk to sa its expensive and I can save much more by getting it done here its a lot cheaper to make it then import it

CP Kits, opinions please
 

I don't know how they charge from the uk to the usa but from uk to sa you have to x whatever price the person is selling anything by the pound which in sa its R11 so that will be way more then just getting it made here this is example of what it will cost for me R11 x £79.99 =R879.89 and that's a lot for those few parts it will cost a lot less here

I bought a pedal box w/ master cylinders from the UK, shipping to me by DHL was £54.99. When I see something that is exactly what I want, it is worth it to pay a bit for shipping. It all depends on what your time is worth. How many of these little things that take extra time add up till you add another year to the end date?

I have been working on my car way too long, I wonder sometimes if I will live long enough to finish it. I have decided to quit trying to save a buck and just buy the parts that have been stalling me out. I recently bought a windshield frame and stantions, I bought the pedal box. I will probably soon order the coilovers.

Good luck with your build, it isn't easy for those of us who aren't in the UK with easy access to the preferred donors.

I know what you mean but I wanted the drawings cause I think its a cool innovation but its not like I can't just make the ones in the book cause I can just that to import something that will cost me three times more I don't think I can do that I am limited in cash so in my heart I always believed if I can make something without having to go buy it then I shall do it unfortunately in sa things are bad money is a issue for me my passion is cars love it with my heart and soul I admire what you guys in the usa do it drives me wild seeing the things you guys do in the usa and wish I could get into that and working with cars but here in sa its hard to get someone to actually let you into a panel beating company to work and learn but its not easy so like I said in my heart I believe in making something if I can without having to import it

Would be nice if the uk and usa was few kilometers away that we could just drive there :-)

Now they are very nice indeed and without a shadow of a doubt lift the quality standards considerably.

Certainly, It's next on the list, along with the rear uprights, and host of other items, stay tuned ;)
