    Re: typical rust is setting me back!!

    jhezz this has got rather heated since i was last online

    good news is that i have taken the sideskirts off and the sills are virtually new which im very glad about, soo wont be needing for a gd few years, or thinking about it, if they hard to get now maybe be wise to stock up sod it ill let the next owner worry about it

    and thanx for everyones input with advise, much appreciated!!

    Not even the OE ones have the mounting pins they are sold separatley. I keep them in stock. Well done to Dan, lets see what kind of fit they are and then see what a large order price they can do.
    Thanks

    Re: typical rust is setting me back!!

    ok then.. well your sorted then.. however.. my advice..

    when you cut that rust out from the inner sill (nice big hole), fill the sills with waxoil or dinatol.. give them a real good lashing before you weld it up.. that way the chance of the outers rusting are minimal.

    Well done for getting on with this

    btw.. got the package today buddy, thanks a lot!

    Re: typical rust is setting me back!!

    Just to let you know, as I was a bit annoyed at the comments from Raider GTT after I posted that there were some sills on ebay, I contacted the seller and bought them!

    They were very helpful despite their shocking 99.7% feedback and were posted same day I paid for them (Wednesday) and arrived by the weekend.

    All in, posted to the Isle of Man, I paid £97.99 which I thought was good as apparently the going rate is £199.99 plus post? This would have been £90.99 if I lived on the mainland!

    Anyway if anyone needs the sills it is worth contacting them to see if they still have some, I put a best offer in on each sill of £41, which I know is not much under the £42.50 asking price, but every penny counts!

    I would definately say contact them first to make sure they still have some, I found them very helpful. Also dont pay straight away as postage for 2 sills is only original postage price plus £1.

    If they are all gone please contact me as I will send these back to someone for what it cost me plus post, I am not wanting to make a profit on these as I really only bought them to prove a point!!!

    Thanks

    Steve

    Re: typical rust is setting me back!!

    Maybe you should get a list of all the different cars the wheels will fit and get buying!! a different type of car for each set sounds like the thing to do!!

    And maybe while your at it purchase some kind of air craft hanger/industrial unit to keep them all in!!!

    Re: typical rust is setting me back!!

    I have spoken to Ellie at national spares and informed that there might be some interest from the club and asked how many sets she had, this was my response:



    Hi Steve,
    Thank you for that, Very much appreciated.
    We have 10 plus on either side at present, I think possibly Steve your help may already be in the swing of things,
    So far in the last week, We have had yourself and also another 3x pairs ordered
    If it would help at all, My email address - ellie@nationalspares.com
    I will do my best to help on any queries, Parts required.
    We are also in the process of building our own site, nationalspares.com
    No items are on here at present, A working process..........
    Thank you again Steve, It has been a pleasure.
    Thank you,
    Ellie

    - national-spares


    I pointed out I was nothing to do with committee or running so if Clee or anyone wants to take it from here or leave members to sort out sets for themselves!
