Hi everybody, can,t do electrics so thinking of having it done for me anybody heard of a company called kitfinishers in aylesbury, anyone recomend them?

prawnabie - 7/6/10 at 05:36 PM

Its run by a member off here who went into meltdown

Thats a bit unfair - he asked a fair question, as all of us do, and a few people started questioning (and worse)his compency.
As far as I know I think he is a reasonable person. Look for past quotes by mr henderson.

MrH was rather forthright in some of his statements about a particular aspect of car building. Some others took objection about this and somehow it became a willy measuring competition (okay not quite but it was a bit silly). In the end Mr Henderson did a Calvinx.

He's active on the Haynes forum and on Pistonheads under singlecoil username.

That's because he actually had informative/factual/knowledge based posts to delete!!!

ETA - well, in some people opinions!

Spot the Irony!!!

I actually had a couple of healthy debates and although very outspoken, i think he was a resonable guy though i can see why he got some peoples backs up!!

Cant comment on his competency, as i havent seen his work, though he did ask some alarming questions for someone that practiced as a business.

like a lot of people Mr Henderson seemed to take things said online quite personally.

Perfectly upto him to do so really. it isn't how I would have reacted, but each to their own.

That has absolutly nothing to do with his company, nor the quality of the output.

Whilst we all know of the guy, I don;t think anyone who has posted above has first hand experience of his work - so bear that in mind

That's because he actually had informative/factual/knowledge based posts too delete!!!



Yep that's my point

CalvinX now thats a blast from the past

matt_gsxr - 7/6/10 at 08:44 PM

I don't know Mr Henderson, but....

Like all projects of this sort. If you explain exactly what you want (i.e. Electrics to a level so that you can get past IVA) and get to see an example of his electrics, and either arrange a price to completion, or plan to review progress on a frequent basis.

Then it can't go too far wrong. From memory his charges were very reasonable.

Mr H had some good posts, but none as entertaining as old CalvinX. Didn't he move to Cypress or something? His car was for sale again not that long ago.

How can stating a fact be unfair?

NS Dev - 15/6/10 at 01:24 PM

mmm interesting!

Don't know how much of a hurry you are in, as we are chock full with work at the moment, but take a look on our website (see below) and feel free to get in touch.

If you look at the CF V8 Van project you'll see the sort of electrical capability we have!!!

Maybe Hereford is too far but you can always speak to Mel at RAW Engineering.

They did engine conversions before they bought the Striker rights but have always done general kit car related work. Westfield also use them for customer builds. At least when Westfields actually have parts in stock.
