Mel @ Raw or RawStrikerNorth?
pekwah1 - 26/8/10 at 02:16 PM

Hi guys,

I've just spoken to rob at rawstrikernorth and had a chat about a few bits i need for the striker.

I didn't go through raw themselves as i couldn't find much in the way of parts/price list which is very present on the RSN site.

Will i be paying a big premium through strikernorth, i.e. is he just going to source the parts through mel and charge me more?

Cheers,
ANdy

I would expect RSN prices to be identical. Otherwise everyone would just go to Mel!

What Prices are you after, I have some fairly uptodate order forms from when I orded my striker earlier this year..

Wiring Loom
Fly Screen
Front Bulkhead Metal

loom £149
Fly screen & fitting kit £38
Bulkhead - (do you mean Fabricated scutle face? if so its £82

(Prices are + Vat)

thanks. those are the prices as per the raw striker north site too!
just trying to find out exactly what you get in the loom kit..

As above, prices should be the same through an approved agent/reseller as from source. The source/agent should share the profit margin and benefits....in an ideal world

Precut/labeled wires and fusebox/distribution board IIRC

did you have the raw loom with your car? did you find it pretty good?


loggyboy - 26/8/10 at 03:00 PM

Dont know, im still waiting to collect it!

is there a raw striker south? I live south east london and am miles away from raw. Can anybody recommend a raw specialist?
Dont mean to hi jack your thread by the way!


pekwah1 - 26/8/10 at 04:02 PM

no probs mate, i'm actually near gatwick so same position. With everything car related though, it's all ooop north (apart from caterham)!


loggyboy - 26/8/10 at 04:11 PM

Im in Basingstoke, but dont consider Hereford that far!! Its Definately not 'North', its only just on the border of south wales, lol!
I should be collecting mine in next few weeks (allthough ive been saying that for last couple of months!), so if theres anything you want collected for then, let me know you can pick them up from mine instead.

I'm sure rob is good but I've never dealt with him.Mel was excellent during my build,couldn't of been more helpful even tho I only really bought his chassis and suspension,lending me bits to try and give him back etc when I decided I didn't like them,I.e front body work etc.I'm sure strikernorth must be just as helpful too tho or I doubt he'd deal with him.

Nothing in particular at the mo but I do need somebody to help me still with this knocking on the front left of my car.

Its either the upright or lower wishbone. I have checked both as much as possible without replacing and it still does it. Its such a P in the A.

Ill put a SOS post up soon when the can is back on the road. I can drive it to a compitent LCB and hopefully they will spend the afternon on it with me.

Andy Bates (Andy B on here and http://www.abperformance.co.uk) is a RAW agent, he's in Suffolk.

I spoke to Rob at rawstrikernorth a couple of months back (very helpful and friendly guy) as he seemed to be a lot easier to get hold of than Mel. However, he said anything ordered from him has to be passed back to Mels operation so you might as well deal directly.
