FRP style splitter

[grogee]

+1 for me too, Richard. If it helps I will be at Ford Fair 8th Aug so to save on P&P I could pick up then. Only if production run dates fit in with that, of course.

Hi.
I went to visit a fiberglass company who have for many years specialised in automotive products. They can make a new mold for me. The cost of a splitter will work out to be £129 plus what ever the delivery costs. To deliver to mainland UK works out to be about £22.

Is there still intrest at that price.

I'm interested at this price Richard. Thanks.

Alex

Yeah I'm still interested in buying one

Hi!
I’m interested to buy one, but i’m in Italy, you can send it?

 

[RICHARD MANSFIELD2]

Hi,
Yes I can send them anywhere, I have in the past but I must point out deliver charges from the carriage companies have gone up drastically over the last few years. I don't know if it is because the UK has left the EU. If you would like an accurate cost please pm me a post code and I will get a price for you.

Regards,
Richard.

The brackets for holding it up in the middle, where can I get a couple of them? I got a splitter from someone on facebook last year. I have removed the valance and am just weighing up attaching it, but I dont have any brackets.

 

[RICHARD MANSFIELD2]

Hi.
If you are referring to Puma fitment and assuming it is one of mine I stopped fitting middle brackets after the first six or so as I increased the stiffness of the splitter so it did not need any additional support apart from the four bolts each side.

Regards,
Richard.

Hi.
I have found another manufacturer who I will be seeing next week. I am trying to get the price down. The splitter will go into production. I can give you
definitive information next week.

Regards,
Richard.

I have took a couple of photos of the splitter. There are no identifying marks on it that I can see. Its got like a metal bolt at either end.

Yes, Richard, very much interested in the splitter

 

[RICHARD MANSFIELD2]

Hi.
I have been to another two potential manufacturers. Unfortunately they can come no where near the first price I have put out. I will be going ahead and the first splitters should be available in early November. I know this is quite away away but they are very busy and I know from personal experience that jobs tend to fall back in that industry.
Regards,
Richard
PS I will keep updating on this topic thread.

I'm looking forward to it

So, how is this working for you Richard?

Have you placed a number of 'provisional' orders ready for November, or is November when they will take orders?

I'm interested and think November would certainly be a better time for me financially..

 

[RICHARD MANSFIELD2]

Hi.
I will have the first batch made then when I have them ready to send out I will look to take the orders. I have to place a minimum run of three at a time, so with paying for the tooling and the first batch I can cover it.
Regards,
Richard.

Hi.
Good news after two and a bit years the original splitter mold has been found and I picked it up today so that's one hurdle less. I will start planning how I will now go about production. I will post updates here.

Regards,
Richard.
