Just had confirmation from Protech Dampers to let me put the new Protech Dampers up for sale for the Haynes. Please have a look, they are not cheap but are oozing sex appeal. Two knobs to play with - what more could you need.

Slightly cheaper than direct with VAT on...........

Will SSC be offering a wishbone kit at all in the future? Just the bare minimum, so all of the seamless tube (without fishmouths) etc?

We were just talking about that today Tatey, thought is that by the time we have bought and cut the steel and the customer paid postage, they would still need to make the jigs for the wishbones so maybe it would not be viable to the builder. Maybe be wrong though, certainly open to other thoughts.

Hey Guys

Good to hear of a company that actually passes on the savings and puts the customer first. I've been involved with model engineering for years and it's amazing how many companies don't care about the customer. I now tend to use a few suppliers who despite not being the cheapest always guarantee me good reliable service.

Out of interest a few thoughts for the staurn guys -
Are you planning to sell the bits from the bunldes seperately - e.g. brake hose, pressure switch etc?
Have you thought about adding a 7 piece package to the bodywork kits i.e. the 6 piece including the bonnet?
As the suggestion has been made regarding wishbone jigs - how about making a set that are rented out on a refundable deposit basis with a small rental charge?
Have you thought about adding some of the ancillary bits - e.g. i'm thinking about things like brackets for the polo and clio rads etc.
Finally - something that would be really useful to those of us who plan on getting bodywork but cannot afford it yet would be a drawing showing where the nosecone sits, either end of the bonnet and the scuttle position. Also at this point it would be useful to have the cross-section shapes. The reason I ask is I would like to make cardboard templates to tape to the chassis while I finish the engine bay so I can ensure that everything will fit under the bonnet.

Cheers

Any updates/more info on the alternative 'cobra' style bodywork previously mentioned?

Daves idea of the bodywork dimensions/template is a good one. I am fitting a tall BMW motor and it would be handy for me as well.

I would like to see an ally panel set eg seat back, sides tranny tunnel sides, floor and optional back panel. If that could be supplied at a sensible price I reckon lots would be sold as I bet not many people have facilities to handle / cut large sheets.
Just my 2p worth.
