Haynes chassis?! Armoto contact.
Hi there my man is looking to build a haynes roadster. Since he got the haynes book. Does any
one have the contact details for armoto. I have seen alot of people buying the flat pack chassis from him.
It's his birthday and I would really love to suprise him with it, maybe he will stop pestering about building it lol it's all he seems to
talk about!
Thanx
Thanx

have a search, the phone number is posted somewhere on here.
proved useful with mine! 
EDIT - infact looks like they have pulled both their chassis packs! maybe i was not the only one having problems!
i know it was jason that used to deal with the packs, and he left, wonder if the other guys have got sick of them and dropped selling them!

if you can,t get a flat pack chassis, you could always buy him the steel so he can then make his own chassis from the plans in the book, as i did.
cost for the steel would be approx £130.
good luck with the birthday surprise.

I was about to point out that you do realise he's going to disappear into the garage for the next 6 months to 2 years ..... but if you're
a qualified mechanic i guess you've already figured that out.
Suppose its one way of getting the house to yourself - although remember, if you buy it him, its your fault

there just phoned armoto and Jason who deals with the chassis's is off for a month.
Which spoils the suprise idea...
Would any one be willing to cut the chassis pack to size I would pay for your time?
Thanx

Hi, as i said in a previous post, why not just buy all the steel he needs, its part of the fun of building a Haynes Roadster, a big achievement when
you can say "i built that from scratch",
the cost of the steel will be approx £130 so you could buy him something else with the money saved from the cost of a flat pack kit.
there is a Haynes Roadster forum too that would help with his build.

Think it could be an option but does he not need the right tools to cut it etc
