5 - 51/2 weeks is quite quick. Im surprised you dont give yourself more time Marc. I'd say that is pretty good service. It only just gives enough time to get the donor stripped and the bits prepped (which incidently is what i wish i had done before starting my build).

Billy - id recommend a visit. You will be impressed and will want to get your cheque book out there and then Get directions first - MNR are not exactly on the main road. There location is stunning and the roads will give a good demo run if Marc takes you out (if you dare!!!). Take some spare cecks!

5 1/2 weeks is slow for us at the moment due to lots of orders.
with the staffing levels we have we are currently producing 2 / 3 kits per week and have been doing since last september
our only slow point is the powder coating process which is done as standard for all kit components, this normally takes them 2 - 3 days but it is well worth it as they grit blast the components first then do two coats of powder coating the quality of there work is amazing !!!
with the new tube bender arriving tomorrow ( now three weeks late ) productivity can only increase
in the last two weeks i have invested around £35000 in equipment and tooling to enable us to make everything in house apart from bodywork which we now have done elsewhere as we have run out of room
we are currently sorting out a phone system and computer network to enable us to be more easily contactable and deal with parts orders more efficiently, as i know somepeople have tried for two days to contact us via telephone without sucess as the phone has constantly been engaged.

we hope to have these measures in place by the end of the month so please bear with us

best regards

marc
