VT Automotive GMBH
Discussion
Has anyone purchased from them? They have a good website for navigation and I can find what I want (steering wheel boss), but I cannot see how to order, their contact form does not seem to work and there is no number for them on the website. I have also linked to their facebook page and messaged on there, but received no reply?
Alternatively, if anyone knows where else I might get a steering wheel boss that is known to fit, that would also be welcome.

I used them in their early days to fabricate some seat converter frames which made fitting XJS seats in my Chimaera much easier, I found Verpoorten Technik Automotive reasonable to deal with, although commuication could be slow and paying them was a little clunky.
Since then I have a feeling there was some sort of scandle between a disgruntled TVR customer and Verpoorten Technik Automotive
But I don't have any further details so to be fair to Verpoorten Technik Automotive this may not be entirely accurate and there are always two sides to a story, so I recommend conducting your own due dillagence investigations before using or condemning them.

Thanks COG. Did an external google search of PH and found some contact details for Odin - and he has now come back to me. I think they were just taking a slightly longer break for Christmas than I was!
In terms of scope, I am only after a stock item, so should be fairly low risk.
I did see some dialogue on their FB page about a dispute, but he appears to have defended himself appropriately. As you say, always two sides. For bespoke work I don't think you can beat being near to your contractor of choice, so working arms length in Germany (or Hungary) would carry some risk, but they do seem to offer some good engineering skills - occasionally outside of that offered by the legacy TVR network in the UK - or perhaps they just advertise better!

Well he certainly seems to be defending himself vigorously https://www.tvrcarclub-france.net/forum/viewtopic....
Looks like an acrimonious dispute
Being hungarian I visited Odin several times at their workshop.
They are still enthusiastic about these cars but they had enough of protecting thenselves when it was the customer who created the issue.
I can’t comment on who’s fault it was - Odin told me the whole story in ten minutes - as I didn’t hear the other side of it but I must say they were extremly helpful with me.
Odin spent 2 hours with the inspection of my car. They put it on the lift, we went on short test drive than he even removed some plugs for a quick check.
At the and he refused my money and offered his help at any time I have a question.
The last time I asked his opinion was this monday when my car was dyno’n 213hp.
He responded in an hour with useful advice.
I never paid them a penny.....
I am sure they are good people, it’s my bad luck that they don’t give workshop service anymore and there’s no other specialist here in Hungary.
