Look guys, all I am doing is trying to supply a few bits and pieces nobody else does plus a few others that I have used and rate pretty highly but are not sold by the big two VX tuners (TMS and Courtenay) This is never going to make big money and at this stage I am working hard to build up lines and stock and all "profit" (I say the word loosely)is being used for new products. I am ordering steering wheel badges this week and will work on a supplier for some Supercharged Rear Badges. All prices I have stated are RRP on all products that I buy in. This way I upset nobody but can offer advice, experience and even a fitting service on some bits. On the bits I source or have made, I am adding a very small margin to cover time and P&P to me of the bits plus artwork or development costs. So far I have sold one harness, two suspension bush kits, three French Hens, and a bagful of Hub Carrier Bolt sets. All but one of the feedback I have received via posts, phone calls PMs and emails have been really positive and the support terrific. I thank you all for the encouragement.

You didn't mention a price for the set of French Hens on your earlier post, are they cheaper on eBay ? - Actually I don't need any French Hens until later in the year anyway.

any French Hens

sold to me by cliffy last week,collected and now gone

[darronwall]

i would rather give a few bob extra to someone on here than some "business"

[rsg]

For those who DO want S/C parts (charger, manifold, actuator, gaskets etc), I'm sure I can always contact my guy in US and see what he has.

charger and mani for me please

price on 8 lords a leaping.... Jimmmmmmmy, its £2 cheaper but inc everything as opposed to plus vat/delivery, but thats irrelevant as you say and you look a dick now Mike, I found a company on ebay, near Sandy selling grpA cossie ARB Blades (just the blade) for minimal cash...... perhaps you could look at having an ARB made up with said blades for some mucho cheaperness/less "some company doing it"

Sorry but I only had one set of French Hens and they were second hand. I will let you know if I get anymore in stock.

Is there a common fully synth oil that we could get a barrel of. I would certainly prefer to swap more often, but can't justify having 100L of the stuff could do with a pair of those mechanics gloves if you get some in

Just found myself a pair of skin tight mechanics gloves, very handy.

Not a bad idea on the oil drum thing. We have 55 gallon drums here of engine oil etc, doesnt take up much room. Not sure how much discount you get if you buy a massive drum like that though

[Mike (Cliffie)]

I can source the gloves no issues as they come from the same company that does all the Nimbus and Thermo Tec stuff. The issue about a 500 litre drum of oil is getting 5 litres to people, Jiffy bags aint that good as yet. No issues if people want to pick up but a beggers mess if I need to post it out.

These are the gloves i now have. Never seen the ones cliff mentioned above so dont know how they compare

are you lot talking about my work gloves? if so i remember everyone wanting a pair!!! just for the record they come from cosco!

[chris_uk]

Cliffe, the harnesses, are they wrap around or are they bolt in? also what catch do they have?

[Mike (Cliffie)]

Either wrap around or bolt in, up to you but I recommend wrap around.

At the price I have quoted, they will have the road legal and MOT friendly push in seat belt type buckle. You can have twist aircraft type buckle but I think from memory cost £20 odd on top.

8 lords a leaping would be £450 plus delivery to you. I am sure you can get them for half that on eBay and they will come with a free partridge in a pear tree as well as free delivery.

Too early to think about such things as ARBs. My time to develop and test such a thing is unavailable at the moment and I simply do not have the working capital to put into development costs.

I won't sell something I haven't used and therefore can't recommend either.
