Hi,

first of all... its been a long while since i have posted here... i just cant seem to be able to mix work with the build (i really dont know how some of u do it )

but anyway, i am preparing to continue my build for this coming august and i'm at the bodywork stage..

right now i have almost all the parts except the nosecone and front wings, and the nosecone is proving to be exceptionally difficult to source.

A thorough search (involving a couple of hours on the net) has led me to this website http://vicfibretech.co.uk/NoseCones.aspx

does anyone know them (or him)? i have read different experiences from places like greatbritishsportscars or m-88.co.uk and pretty much all were bad reviews. so pretty much this is the only option i have found that supplies a decent (by the look of the photos) nosecone and that is willing to ship it to spain...

i'm bordering on desperate for a nosecone right now

thanks..

The problem is the packed size as cones are quite big.
I've just done a quick search and nearly £100 to ship

Is there particular cone you would rather have ?
I'd be willing to forward it on if you buy one and have it delivered to me first, but it wouldn't work out "Locost"

Does the +4 description of your build refer to the McSorely plans?
Are you looking for a wider nose? or will a standard one fit?
Triton does fiberglass and if you specify a thick he'll coat then if you are not totally happy with the Finnish then a bit of work with wet & dry will give you a mirror Finnish

no idea if the nosecone will fit your chassis (there are dimensions listed on the website so i would measure up. but i can vouch for the quality of their stuff i have a set of front cycle wings from them and the quality is superb very well made indeed.

I have a nose cone from Vicfibretech. It seams pretty well made.
When tried to fit it to the standard book width chassis it seams OK in width but a few inches short in height.

I recently purchased a nose cone, rear arches and cycle wings from Vicfibretech for my locost and the fit was perfect. Excellent quality, finished in super black gelcoat - I would definitely recommend the products to other builders out there.

After visiting the kit car show in Exeter last year, I was worried I wouldnt find the quality of GRP that I wanted, nose cones in particular hard to source. After reading about Vicfibretech I contacted them and I found the guy to be very helpful and he produced me a set to my specifications and was impressed by the service.

I have recently bought some cycle wings from Vicfibretech and was very happy with the quality and service. Nice and solid with a great gelcoat finish. Communication was great too, I needed them in a hurry and I received them well packaged and on time. Would recommend!
