I know, I just prefer the look of the carbon ones to the coloured ones.

Personal choice I suppose.

The stickers will come off easily if you remove them before the cans get hot. However, Carbon Can Co have just started to produce cans for the Speed6, and as it's different from standard we'd like everybody to know where they came from.

(At present we've got stock of components to build cans within a few days or orders)

To order your cans Tel: 01253 877900 Simon or Roy

Simon,

I got a set of the cans from you. Can you re-sleeve existing cans if we want to change the colour etc?

Also, any plans to do some in Titanium and/or carbon-fibre like the original finish?

Hi Andy

Second answer first.

Yes we are planning to do some in titanium (plain finish and coloured). We need at least five orders to order the titanium in the correct sizes for welding.
As for the carbon, we didn't think anybody would want the standard look, but I'll work out the cost of the sleeves and let everyone know how much.

We're in the process of designing the next lot of cans so that they are rebuildable (damage or colour changes).

Hope this answers your question.

Simon

Must admit when Andy first showed me the pic I wasn't too keen.

But after seeing them in the flesh at the w/e im most impressed :-)

And sound VERY VERY nice, even though he is still running it back in.

Mind you Andy allways was one for whipping the standard cans off now and then for that roar!

Received mine a couple of days ago very pleased with the quality, can’t wait to hear them the only problem is the originals don’t want to come off! they have been on for over two years and seem quiet reluctant to let go, and at present are being soaked in WD40 to try and release them. Any one else had a similar problem/any advice?

Fitted my cans a couple of weeks ago, and they sound the dogs.

There's a few shots at the following site for anyone interested.

Nick, did you get the old cans off in the end ? What worked and what didn't ?

Cheers,

Andy.

I still have the orignal cans on, I could not get the to move even with loads of WD40, taking up up to MF cars in Gent this week for suspension mods so I will let them have a go ,it must be eaiser with ramps/pit.
