Leven stalks for the S..!
Discussion
Roy and Simon
Very interested in alloy replacements, seems like there are 3 seperate sources now. How about a list of the available parts from each supplier in an 'alternative shiney parts list' style. This might give us and the makers an idea of what is already avaible as I don't know about anyone else but I'm a bit confused about what you can get, from where and how much

Good post sif! I agree entirely; what with leven, leebee and others now its becoming a bit of a minefield now. I'm all for competition but anybody care to summarise who does what for which s model?
Look on Leven's site.. they have a little grid thig that shows what they do for the S...

Right my current alloy parts include
Air vent bezel and centre knob
Steering wheel bezel (allows Griff horn push)
Fan/fog/dash illumination switches (replace black rotary items fitted to S1/2/early S3
S1 alloy heater/clock panel with alloy sliding knobs
The alloy stalks are almost complete only needing a couple of holes and slots milled.Other projects drawn up are the alloy clock bezels and heater control panel for the early cars and a surround for the later cars
There are many other items that I have designed but at the moment I am concentrating on getting the current items manufactured.I am also setting up a small machining area in my workshop to tackle the prototype parts myself as it now looks as though I am going to have all the parts from now on CNC machined (hence it is not worth programming the machines until the design is finalised), they will also now be clear anodised unless a polished finish is preferred.
I would also like to point out that I am not trying to tread on anyone's toes with the parts I make, i.e alloy stalks, I have always tried to make things that are not available from anywhere else (that's why the original set of alloy switches in my car were made 5 years ago) nor do I copy anyone else's ideas (that's why I have a few Leven parts in my own car) hence why you will not find me making gear knobs and handbrake handles etc
Anyway at the moment I do not know what the prices of parts will be as I sent the drawings off yesterday, if anyone wants any pictures etc please email me and I will get some to you
Happy Christmas!
