Dreaded Outriggers....

[R11chard]

Well just had a service on my 1999 Chim, and as I feared the outriggers need replacing, has anyone got any recommendations for somewhere to do this, close to Essex, and what sort of price should I expect to pay ?
Thanks

Try Matt @ Sebring .They build their own chassis for their own cars so they should be OK

Had mine replaced by carizma in melton

did a great job, body off and replaced for 1350 plus vat.

It is possible to DIY for a couple of hundred if you just stick to what you intend to do... oh and if you are handy with a mig welder and are confident enough to do it...

Sportmotive say £1565 + VAT for both sides including fitting.

They did my Chim service last year and I was able to have a good chat and check out the place. All things being equal, they'll be doing my Chim outriggers this year.

Thanks guys, I will give Hilton & Moss a call and see what the damage is.

Try Techniques Motorsport and speak to Brian, they are very very reasonable

Offords near Cambridge - £1600 inc VAT for both sides.

Strongly advise going to somebody who has done this before ...

I have done mine both sides and had the whole chassis, wishbones, ARBs and all brackets etc double layer powder coated.
It cost £400 for fabrication and £300 for coating. (Although i may have spent many ££££s more in typical "while I'm there" fashion).

how many hours did it take you? do you not factor that into the cost ? i would have to count the cost of the hours. i am so impressed how many TVR owners are so competent :-)

Dan Taylor did mine - about 2k. He's in Kent, not Essex, but easily got to via M25.
