Vmax's humble pie

[vmax1974]

Most of the seconds i have produced has been dodgy/ thin gel i didn't consider that as an option thanks for pointing that out i will in future i will pop a list up once i work out whats what

[norton]

I'd happily finish and vinyl wrap some bodywork or even trying my hand at spraying but crucially, it needs to be the correct shape.

[vmax1974]

The only shape issue is the wide scoop bonnet as the mould was made badly it is on my list of new moulds but like everything else they take time

[norton]

How does the plain bonnet without scoop look?

[vmax1974]

This is the standard bonnet but it does not fit with the mx5 plenum although a power bulge may look ok but the fit is much better i will be making the new wide scoop mould from this mould with the wider scoop blended in

Ok I have dealt with Dave and also can vouch for him as a person
I am not going to make excuses for the communication or his personal situation but will clarify a few points re the mounds I have had a previous set of bodywork from these moulds ( Gilliam) and there are issues with them the "current" wide scoop bonnet requires @ 1/4" removing from the centreline in front of the scoop opening, reinforcing and refinishing. Only do this once you are able to clamp it down on the car .
There are and have been some " marks" in the mould on the outside edge of the o/s rear arch
I know that he is working hard to sort these issues and I wish both him and all waiting the very best
As a wee pointer anyone taking seconds with a view to wrapping them , don't use red vinyl as it very quickly fades to pink .... I know from experience

Good luck one and all

Has anyone heard from Dave and/or come to a conclusion with regards to their orders/refunds?
