App K FIA parts and group purchases
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2018 8:30 am
Good morning all,
I have noticed that we are very good collectively on this excellent Forum in comparing / sharing information which is very positive.
I have a fairly long list of parts that I need to buy for my 1965 S2 (GTS/26R App K) in order to go rallying / racing and I wondered if folks at a similar stage might like to club together to buy certain parts from certain suppliers.
I'm not talking about readily available parts but more expensive items where in return for a longer production run a lower price could be discussed, for example:
- latest FIA approved roll cages (Andy Robinson (welded up) / Kelvedon (welded and unboltable)
- Tillett race seats
- Bag type fuel tanks (I would not feel safe with even a foam filled aluminium tank in the boot of an Elan).
- Race manifold with a quiet exhaust that actually fits without being fettled or looking like a Cuban cigar from the rear!
- Avon tyres
The easiest case would be for say Tillett seats, perhaps if we we able to place an order of 10, Tillett might be able to make an effort (I have not asked the question).
Ideas ?
