Can anyone help?

I know theres a place in bendigo that does fibreglass jobbies that dont fit properly (a mate has purchased some), but is there anyone else that cranks them out?

Also after a MK2 wide set if anyones got any idea where i could locate some of these also!

Ive seen a set to suit Clubmans on ebay a few times, but the fronts are definately different, too hard to make them right...!

Ive got some old ones but the plastics really breaking down... dont want to try and fibreglass them up!

Thanks in advance!

Cam

Mini King has the molds for the original "S" style flares, give John a call.

if you're good with fibreglass I have a set of original wide ones you could copy... I thought Mini King had the wide ones as well, but I must be mistaken, but I did buy two sets of the skinny ones off him some time ago.

Simon,,, if you`re keen & if you`re not going to be using them for a while,,, send em up here (i`ll pay freight etc) & i`ll have some moulds done so everyone can get them again

fiberglass would be far better than the original plastic anyways

let me know "K?

Edit--> i have only just recently sold my last brand new full set to Dodge so i only have a couple of odd ones left

I think we could come to some arrangement Matt - something mutually beneficial..... taking into consideration the current scarcity, the captive market, the number of sets you'll sell in the next 20 years, inflation..... hmmmm

Yes, pretty please!! :) There would bee demand for at least one set (of the wide ones) from the other end of the world! ;)

They are too pretty to not re-make them :)

I offered just a month or so ago to get flares made up but was ignored.
A very good mate of mine Alan Haeslip (think its spelled correct) would do it for me.
Many, many moons ago he used to make all the full body kits for the mini kingdom (at least I think thats who he said! :lol: ).
Shame he hasnt got the molds anymore.

I've got a few things on the planning board! Some original, some not as original!
If all goes to plan, then happy days for all! :D
