Well done, some positive news there (except for the lead time), but nice to hear of a company with full books.
I think Rimmer's still have some new side panels, or perhaps if Tom is too busy to otherwise help, he might be able to fabricate a pattern for them to use. Minimum of 10 is absolutely no problem, I reckon I could shift 10 just for local members, depending on price & shipping of course. However I'm not interested in a whole sill length, just the rear section between the wheelarch and slightly forward of the jacking point: unnecessary work, shipping costs Next question is who has the resources to proceed, DMGRS perhaps? Regards & thanks |

Me too.
They've only got the RH panel now (ALA500140) and it's on clearance at £180 so they probably want to get rid of stock as soon as they can. The LH panel (ALA500150?) is no longer showing - it would be tricky to make an LH pattern without it. Or the 12 clip holes for each finisher - https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-ALA500140.

Perhaps.
If repair sections are needed and Tom can't find time, I might just have a go at making some, I do have some fabrication skills...

Rimmers seem to have the LHS tourer body panel(including sill)pricey though. https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-ALA500370
I would imagine the sill section is the same as the saloon. Having said that,not meaning to blow my own trumpet,having done one of my own sills last year,using a little cardboard engineering to get the template,,i was very pleased with the results.And that was with a cheap gasless MIG,bought for £78,Yes,there was a little weld splatter,but the grinder smoothed that off and a slight amount of filler ,just to smooth and blend in,everything was fine. It is worth a go,,just practice on a bit of scrap,and have a friend stand by,in case of fire,although I did pull back the carpet and trim in the area above the repair,just to be safe. Hope this helps,,Ken. |
