Just searched the forums but couldn't find any suppliers for this item. Mine has perforated on one side so intend replacing it rather than welding rotten metal. Take it the usual TVR dealers might have one?
It's for an S3. Any recomendations?

Will try fabricator first - not many up here in N Scotland - mainly over in Aberdeen (rig work!).
Looking for price for replacement in order to see how fabricated one compares. Will try RT tomorrow, ta

I bought a new fuel tank cradle last August from David Gerald. It was delivered the next day and from memory cost £65 including delivery.

Cheers guys - no hurry to fit it yet so will check around for best deal - While I was bored waiting to find out how much one cost, took out headlamps to change bulbs.....Now, does anyone know who does cheap headlamps....?!

Try www.s-v-c.co.uk I just got a new set including chrome rings, delivered in two days. I was advised not to go for the Crystal type but use halogen bulbs, have a chat with them the are very helpful. The only problem fitting was three of the existing screw heads snapped off - just pilot drill some new holes slightly further around the circumference. I can actually see in the dark now. Cost circa £100 if I remember correctly.
