But you will need to modify them by drilling a couple of extra holes / elongating the existing holes to make fit. Modifying them to fit took about 10 mins.

I have them on my wedge. IMHO they look far better than the originals and are far more solid.

[matt-man]

Yeah, they look so much better. I already knew they were from the chims and grifs, but cant find any!

I got mine from Douglas Valley breakers but they ain't cheap!

.....It might be cheaper to buy a cheap chimp, remove the alloy bars and then bin the chimp! ;-)

TVRcarParts were selling new ones a while back, but not cheap.

[matt-man]

i tried tvr car parts but no go....

i think it could take some time!!!

[mikeb]

Douglas Valley or Bell Hill usually got 'em in stock.

I've just ordered some from Bell Hill. They were £80 plus VAT and carriage. The only other place I know who has had them is David Gerald, but they were £180. Could still be worth an ask if you wanted new ones?

Thats a bit steep... they used to go for £50 plus postage a few years ago

[mikeb]

Keep up with the time Jas - TVR bits are all trendy again! Especially the shiney variety.

They were only ever £50 when you could find a scratched one shoved down the side of a filling cabinet at the factory. ;-)

Couple if tins of Humbrol 11?

IMHO they are great and make a big difference aesthetically and functionally and are a much, much better option than the shiteola black ones.

Sorry Mike, I still have 2 years of Wedge forums to read up on to get back with things. The Black ones were well, crap .. the alloy ones, being slightly bigger also seem to be more positive in their closure.
btw Mike, I paid £30 for mine in 2000

[mikeb]

What the car or the roof struts! ;-)
