Does anyone have a Zender rear spoiler they would like to sell or know of a source to get one?

If you mean the foam rubber things, we had one on our 350 some years ago, and it accumulated a number of thumb prints where people just squeezed the material and broke the paint surface. Gettig them repainted is also a bit of a nightmare, because you need to remove all of the old paint. This is not easy on a soft surface without damaging it. I'd advise against it, or find a glass fibre spoiler.

Maybe worth getting a mould made of the rubber one and get some GRP ones made.

Thanks for the replies guys. There's one on a Yellow SE in the classifieds that looks nice - is that what you are referring to or have I got the type wrong?

Yes, that looks like a Zender. Odd in black though. It would look far better with the usual 400/450SE type glass fibre spoiler IMHO.

All those people who don't like the look of the melted plastic plank on the rear of the 400SE, for a start... wink

I was told many yonks ago that the factory DID make a mould to produce the Zender-shape spoiler as Zender weren't flogging TVR enough of them so they stopped production. Maybe TVRCarParts or whoever inherited it in the big sell-off...?

Agreed - I mever like to Zender before but compared to the wilted SE spoiler I think its better looking now than when it first appeared.
