Sourcing final parts

Hi,

down to the last few parts just after any recomendation for suppliers/specific parts

1. Sheet Black plastic 1m X .5m for boot lid(I usually use bay plastics but they only do sheets double the size)

2. SVA friendly rear view mirror

3. Handbrake gator

4. 10mm x 10mm solid ali or ali box section to pack the gap between my wing stays and wing

Cheers

Paul

Paul,
pay a visit to Leicester Aluminium on Freemans Common in Leicester. They have everything you could possibly want including offcuts and odds `n sods. I`ve used them on many occasions, always got what I needed.
I see you`re not far from me. Look forward to seeing you on the road in the summer at some local meets.

Got my mirror from CBS, and I think the gaitor I got came from Europa spares (Europa do the same mirror - I was buying a load of stuff from both on the same day, so I bought stuff where it was cheapest.) CBS do free delivery if you spend > 100 quid. The mirror needs the pvc u-trim around the edge for SVA...

I used Ali angle for mounting the body onto, 35x35 from B & Q...

seconded - they do 20 x 20 square section and may do smaller size.

She does lots of thicknesses and will cut to any size you want.
