GRP bodywork
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 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.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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

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.

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