Outrigger question(s)
Discussion
Sorry but the outrigger are maded from stainless steel which for the material is the best solution. But to make a new chassis of stainless steel is very expensiv (7000€) and mostly not neccessary if in right time you make the protection with galvanizing.
Certainly we would be happy to convince that quality is the better solution as only quick and cheap. We can clear the transport. But we do our job in quality with the whole car and not only with the frame.

all looks very good and nice to see a UK car nut ;-)
did you also get old Vixen's and Grantura's?
and do you or cab you also build them ala Griffith 200/400 or Tuscan V8 but then better then the "originals" and say updated/stronger chassis etc?
and you're also in Aachen Germany? near the outermost South of the Netherlands?

A good job need to try that everything will be optimize....for example here one refit clutch. Here we dont exchange only. We analyze the parameter and take so toghter components which will work nice toghter and balance for this the whole clutch kit incl. flywheel +/- 2gr. (0.011oz). 
Its amazing what you can do with cheap labour ! i surpose that`s why you are operating in Hungary! Don`t think the stainless steal will work well because of less flex ..Edited by SILICONEKID340HP on Tuesday 16th October 00:54
Yep our office is by Aachen/Germany but with our workshop we stay from 1990 in Hungary. And here we found over the time good guys which knows they job very well.
the restriction of stainless steel with their brittleness has been repealed by the new compositions over the last years. For example the chassis of the german sportcar "Falcon" is produce completly from stainless steel. Also some cross bike
and motorbike are produce in stainless steel.
We also ws thinking to replace one outrigger from carbon composite material but the
german TÜV didn´t let it without the make an expensive study. I´m sailor and we repair also boats and know both materials very well (my boot comes from Netherland).
And dont forget which developmental leaps in the material development of the last
10-20 years were made. You can find today stainless steel which are closed or better
as this material which you find on TVR-chassis.
