Hi HRG Any news on the rack refurb

[350Matt]

These chaps are supposed to tackle TVR racks

Can't say I've used them myself but others had with mostly good results, I remember one chap had a to wait awhile and wasn't too pleased about it but they did the rack in the end.

^^^^ That's where mine has gone on holiday, they found a loose piston. It's due back some time this week so I can't comment on the workmanship as yet but I do know they've done a few now.

Yes - They are supposed to, whether they do or not to a satisfactory standard is a complete other matter!!!

In fact, if anyone else has had a similar experience to me (hopefully you can work out if was good or BAD!), i would be interested to hear from you.

Tim - did you ever sort out the exact contact details of the people that put your rack right in the end?

Feel free to post a link if you would be happy to use them again

[HRG]

Yup, don't keep it a secret.... I was recommended by someone who was happy with the results, but it's always good to hear more about experiences of a particular company.

For the record I have had loads of stuff done by "them" in the past and never had a single problem.

Tim's problems however were more recent than my good times, so things may have changed - or he simply may have been unlucky?

:Phew:

It's due back in the next few days.... And everything is crossed now

Let's hope that doesn't end up including your front wheels
