Aluminium / Metal benders

[docevi1]

anyone know of someone who could bend some aluminium to make a scoop for the side of the marlin?

It needs to be split in two due to the curve of the bonnet hence why no off-the-shelf product will help. At the moment I can only find one company (Aston workshop) who suggest they can help, but I have a feeling when I get their quote it'll be out of my budget.

shows the carb mouths, about 1/2" will need to be trimmed from the side panel to allow the 4" filters to poke through uninhibited.


the shape needs to me moulded into the the curve of the bonnet in this pic.

There are a few places that would do it in fibre glass but that costs £££ due to the length of time, I'm hoping the Aston garage call tommorrow with a reasonable offer, but personally I doubt it - it's not an Aston Martin I might try the new owners of YKC and see what they can offer (the guys who make the Roadster now).

Aston Workshop just called, they quoted £1,551 to modify the side panel, bonnet, make a scoop, fit and paint it all.

Thankfully the chap who rang understood why I wouldn't be doing that to a £2,000 car!
