i dont see it as badgering and am happy to update everyone as and when, i just require members to be patient, as i know in the past Simon has had orders before he was able to supply and that then can appear as if Simon is causing a delay, i know members get excited about new products and rightly so, but we are lucky to have Simon on board who is willing to listen to our requests for new additions and make them for us at reasoonable cost, he is a pleasure to deal with and a gentleman too


Simon originally thought the seat sides were bigger and would require more material which is why the price has reduced to around £20, no more news on the chrome yet but I will remind him and update you all

At last the moment some of you Wal ” nuts “ have been waiting for, the creation and availability of the Walnut seat sides.

Price for one seat side £20 + £4 delivery (either drivers with or without memory option/or passenger side)

Price per pair (drivers with or without memory and passenger) £38 + £4 delivery

If you are interested please order to Simon direct at [email protected] but please do not order for a week until I have heard from Simon that he is ready to go at which point I will post on here that orders can be sent to him

The reason I need you all to hold fire for a few more days is that although Simon has made one drivers side non memory option from the seat side I sent him (see picture below), he doesn’t yet have the passenger seat side or the drivers seat side with memory option and cannot make them until he gets them, but these were posted to him a few days ago and should be there soon

The one in the picture below was made by Simon for the non memory option and myself and Steve (Devilish) modified it to fit on Steve’s tourer by cutting the hole for the memory switch ourselves to make the first prototype if you like.

We did it by removing the seat side, fitting the template to it and drawing round the oblong hole for the memory switch from the inside, cut out the shape with a Stanley knife and refit the switch which pushes back in from the outside. ( even though the memory switch is oval in shape the hole underneath it where the back of the switch locates is oblong )

Details have also been posted at post 1 of this thread as previously promised so that all of the available products are in one place with the prices.

There is no “ how to “ as such as the seat sides are not difficult to remove and if you have the non memory option you can fit the Walnut by just unclipping the 2 switches without removing the whole side, but for the memory option you will need to unclip the memory switch from the inside before you can fit the walnut.

If anyone has any questions about how to remove a seat side when the time comes please ask.




Below is the Harmony radio, at the moment Simon makes a surround for this option which is number 14 on the schematic at post 1 of this thread. Presently it is an outline surround of the facia and doesnt go around the switches but Simon is now going to do one that does go around the switches, similiar to the Symphony options shown at number 14 ands 15 of the schematic at post 1 – there is a Harmony facia on its way to him so he can design a new facia at which point he will include it as an option in his schematic, so if you want one of these you will be able to order before long.




I have also asked Simon for an update on his quest to find an alternative way to make the chrome surrounds and will keep you all posted


Can i just say a big thanks to the members who have donated the seat sides ( trikey ) and Harmony facia ( suzublu ) free of charge on a non return basis

Re above Simon is going to make the memory option very precise so the walnut can be fitted without removing the seat side, i will keep you posted

All good news Rob, thanks for keeping us updated. I'll certainly be ordering a set once you've got it all sorted and Simon is ready.

Default Thank you

Thank you for all this good work.

Once the memory option has been ok'd I'll put my order in. Maybe a little christmas present to myself.

Have the door "cappings" gone any further? I like the type Avon used...but sculptured more for the 75 trim.
So it would go under the black top trim along the curved edge.

Much appreciated

Cheers

Paul

Coming in very late on this thread - are these items still available? Simon's ebay ID seems to list no items at all for sale.
