Rather than repair and spray my bodywork (nosecone, cycle wings and rear arches) I thought it might be cheaper and easier to buy new gelcoated bodywork (no need to paint).
Any thoughts?
Where would be the best place to buy new bodywork?
Cheers

All depends on your chassis, scuttle etc. I had to make my own scuttle & bonnet as I doubt any manufactured stuff would've fit. You could always borrow some and see?

I made my own aluminium scuttle and bonnet, all I need is cycle wings, nosecone and rear arches.

I got mine from Triton Sportscars - aka triton on this forum. good solid grp, with a nice finish. I suggest that you U2U him for a price!

Thanks David.

"DOH" Helps if you read the post!

Got my nosecone and wings from Triton. Superb stuff.

Just out of interest, is the luego viento bodywork the same as +4?

I believe it's close enough to fit but they're not keen to sell it unless you buy a kit.

I widened an MK one.

What, by sitting in it Chris?

Blokes,
I don't do body work anymore.....well not at the moment.

Mark

Bet you still do seats though

Anyone know of any alternative supplier of GRP for the 'book' chassis?

GTS is the only one I know of.

I still do bits n bobs for sevenesques in between boat building, and still have wheel arch moulds knocking about, suspect the rear arches are wide uns though, the skinny rear moulds are past their best what width arches u looking for?

Shug.

To fit 185s.

GTS definately do grp bodywork to fit the book dimensions and they have both narrow and wide arches too.
They are also developing moulds for the +4 bodywork.
Most importantly for you, they are very competetive.

I'm a bit dubious about GTS. It took me over two months to get my shocks and I know someone who cancelled their pedal box order because it took too long.

Understand your concerns Jon, i have read some of the recent threads but i know from personal experience that the issues he's been having are getting resolved and he's taking on axtra staff to help keep up.

MK Indy bodywork will fit fine. They'tr the same width as a book chassis, the extra height is in the chassis.
