Being lazy I haven't got time to make them so want to buy some.
Struggled to find a reliable source for sierra uprights.
Anyone bought any lately from reputable seller (do westfield sell them, can't see sierra upright listed as an option on their web)
Thanks

Mike

I like the MAC#1 upright design, (as fitted to my MK)

Thanks, seemed a bit pricey though for what they are., maybe I should make my own. I'll see if I get desperate!

Thanks

Never under estimate what it cost to make something :-)

its not just materials, and yes i agree you can make them cheaper yourself if you have the skills for sure

for us its not just the metal,

Its the premises to make them on including overheads
some one to make them wages,
time to make a jig
postage and packaging them to the customer
and it costs us money to take your money

Best of luck though and I hope you get it sorted

No offence meant, didn't note you were the supplier in your first post. If I was running your business I'd charge at least that there a couple of hours work in there! I can make them but it will take me a good part of a day in the garage, so I might pay for convenience!

It was no offence in it, as you can see by the smiley faces on the Reply,

It was tongue in cheek reply,

But yes a home builder could make these parts cheaper we agree,

I was just advising on the expensive bit

Thanks and best of luck no offence here just trying to support the kit car world of enthusiasts like us

I think on this forum expensive is a very relative term!

I have some brand new stays I bought for my Indy refurbishment that are surplus to requirements if interested. Send me a message Sir.
