Chassis plates
Hi all,
Still in early / research phase of my build & have managed to get the following prices for the different chassis plates from a company called SCISS LTD in Kent. The prices are for all the parts of the same thickness, but they will do the individual parts if required, with delivery in 7-10 days. They are laser cut & finished to exact specs from the book. 1mm plate £30.40 + £4.56 VAT 3mm plate £460.20 + £69.03 VAT 5mm plate £118.40 + £17.76 VAT 10mm plate £76.00 + £11.40 VAT I found out the prices because I don't have the facilities to cut the metal, but I still want to 'build' my roadster. I think they are a tad expensive, but if someone 'higher up' the forum foodchain contacted them they may give us a discount. I'm still trying to find a pre-cut chassis from somewhere, but still no joy. Any ideas, as Armoto don't seem to have them anymore? I hope this helps someone, as I may take the plunge if I can find the funds. Let me know if anyone else has a dip or knows of a better deal |

Very expensive
That's more than a tad expensive
Log onto 3GE's website 3GE Or contact John at 3GE he'll sort you out a much better price than that

What is wrong with 3GE, quality lazer cut components. Not had a problem with them at all for quality.
Chassis plates 1-25 Engine Mount Kit Diff bracket kit Rear Upright kit Front / Rear Wishbone Kit You get the idea...... Also a 10% discount when ordering as a member of the forums (all prices on the website + vat though) |

Going by the above prices I think that is the understatement of the year.
I fully understand they have to get the job set up and so forth, but when a full (2.5x1.25m) sheet of 3mm steel is about £100 (without any discount) then that is quite a markup!! Sean |

I don't understand how you guys see 3GE's prices as low. The nine 5 mm plate pieces will cost in the vicinity of 50 quid, add delivery (27 pounds to the luckier parts of EU), and you're in the same ballpark! 50 pounds for two mushroom inserts? Insane! It's not like they're reprogramming their CNC machinery for every order. </rant> Last edited by alga : 22nd August 2009 at 12:04 AM. Reason: noticed in a post above that 3GE prices are VAT exclusive |

3GE Prices
I feel I must say a few words in defence of 3GE , I know that John would be far too modest to do so
I don't think anyone would say that their price structure is cheap, I do however feel that the quality of their parts & level of customer service need to be taken into account. In further support of the price structure, give a little thought as to how much it costs to run a small buisness in the UK In the UK we are taxed on tax and then taxed again It will cost several k's a month for the running costs of even the smallest industrial unit & that is before you pay any staff wages. The products that 3GE sell are of a low volume nature There are about 60 Roadsters being built at the moment ( Forum poll ). If every person buys from 3GE over a space of the next year, it is not exactly going to make them rich. I don't think John will be rushing out to buy a new 4x4 or house any time soon The shipping costs from the UK are what they are !! 3GE have no controll over the prices that Royal Mail charge. Yes there are cheaper parts out there, you have to ask yourself, why are they cheap, what is the quality, will I get the parts once paid for & will I get any after service if there are any problems. Do a quick search on the forums on GTS Tuning , youll soon get the general idea.
