[kennybgr8]

Ok another simple request, I need 2 silver bits that go behind the boot hinches held on by mastic who sells them,,,

I would use Araldite Precision rather than mastic. The one with the blue cap.


ETA
If yours were held on by mastic, that would probably explain why it / they went missing.
When I had to re-stick one of mine, it was apparent that it had been stuck on originally using fibreglass resin.

this is the part I need the tear drop shaped piece not the ring circle in front of it thats the hinch itself,,,

[Goaty Bill]

Ahhh.
Mine are full round. i.e. two halves of a full round like they are selling.
Not sure exactly what years they did your style, somewhat earlier than mine though.

Those may be more difficult. I have never seen them for sale, and suspect that the breakers may be the only place to find them.

That said; I would try calling all the usual suspects though; Racing Green, TVR Power, Racetech Direct, ML Performance Parts, and even Fibreon.
I have found that there are often quite a few things that haven't yet made it onto their web sites.

Many thanks GBill I will start phoning around ,,,

I obtained some for my earlier Chim from Harrogate Horseless Carriages, so it is possible some long term dealer may have some in his store room. Try Tony at Hexham.

Would it not be easier/cheaper to simply make a template and get a piece of aluminium cut and polished?

[kennybgr8]

Have phoned around and no luck yet, maybe have to make ones doh,,,

Hia,

These chaps might have some. Worth a call.

Without wanting to highjack this thread, does anybody know if there is a place where I could get some pretty shiney gas rams to replace the scabby rusty ones I currently have?

I'm sure I've seen some chromed ones before?
