I have one that I could offer up to someone to try and replecate however it has taken me some time to obtain it so it would need to be looked after and I would want it back

Anyone had any joy sourcing these at all?

do you think this will start to happen to many parts for the 5 gt turbo ,and soon you will not be able to get much , when i used to spend my life in renault you could get anything this was 3 years ago shame
I've spoken to my guys and can get a silicon tool made to produce some resin units .I just need an original part to take a cast from .
The only issue with resin is the strength of the clippy bits on the rear but until I see one I can't really make a judgment .
It's not coming on and off a lot so it may be OK ,if not I'm sure we can sort something to beef it up ...

I'll join the queue for one of these too please!
BUMP , any progress here ?
No one will send me a cover
Thats not good news about the piston and liners, is that just with GSF mate or are the manufactors stopping production of them?
I'll have a word with my local engineer i use as he can supply me with pretty much most parts, see if i can get a steady supply of them if peeps need them. I'll see what else can be sourced mechanical wise, word was a supply of brand new heads could be in the pipe line i'll see if i can out more on it.
Al have 2 aswell mate. Same as the rest PM me the details for payment
i havent spoken to the supplier yet, as GSF got them via a company who were a perfect circle distributor.
BUMP > is a cover on the way from anyone yet clee
Nah !!! is it feck ...It's not even that I'm bothered ..........I don't own a 5
I've offered to get it sorted ,I'm not gonna beg
Think Dale Jarvis in on Holiday in Egypt atm... alright for some.
somebody out there must have one??
are have a look for my towing eye cover chris its in the garage at the mo only thing is that 1 of the clips on the back have come unattached at 1 end but im sure it would be good enough for a patten 1
Yeah sorry, as stated was rather busy sorting everything out for my holiday in egypt, great to be back to 0 degrees and snow, was 30 degrees plus over there all week and not a cloud in the sky, even got an extra day out as Luton was closed all day the day I was due back, they put us up in their platinum hotel all inclusive I love those holidays, ill sort it out when back though, kept meaning to do that.
glad u had a good time tho Dale

Well wouldn't you like to know why is it, you leave Essex to go on holiday, but you always find essex girls wherever you go or pretty much close to essex.
A Group of girls were from Canvey, 1 from Leigh on Sea, 1 from Harlow, 1 from Bishop Stortford, 1 from Welham, and the DJ in one of the pubs was from Chelmsford, Im sure I leave the country to get away from all these sort of people
how could you tell? were their white stilettos scratching your dashboard?
Thanks to Chris ( Old Skool Turbo Power) I now have a cover ,hand delivered ,Top Fella
It's a bit simpler than I thought and the clips on the back look OK .I'll create a 3D model from it and send that off to my laser dudes for a quote as well I think .If we get say 100 done it might be worth looking into but the cheapest option will be a silicon tool and resin units I think .
Done !!!
You all owe me @ £100/hr
hows about that clee that looks good mate top darts also as you dont even own a gt
This work looks stunning
Well done clee , good work , what will be the lead time do u think ?? im sure you will get plenty of orders i want 1 lol
i think big thanks should go to Chris (old school power) for actually getting off his bum and helping us get the ball rolling.
hope this works out Clee!
Top Darts Clee & Chris, when these get done i will want 2 or 3... lol.
I'll take one too
good stuff clee and chris
majic!
I've put out some initial feelers on tooling for this .Vacuum resin tooling and proper injection moulding.
Bear in mind these parts will be almost identical to the OE part .I can even put the part number and ****e on the back face
The only thing I can't replicate is the material they are made from ,unless Old Turbo says I can set fire to his original and sniff it
I have some figures in from two sources but these are dependent on quantity and production method
What price would you pay and how many definite sales do we have guys ???
I have made these prices known 'tcommittee so there is no ulterior motive
£() each sounds reasonable. "edited"
Even though its obviously a lot more industrious to get the proper tooling made I have done some repro work myself with resins etc.
I'll start the list

Well yes £5-£10 sounds reasonable if we get 500 made and actually sell them all
Speaking to clee the price is obviously going to be higher than my understated wishful thinking due to the time and tooling involved.
Just so I did'nt set the expectation I realise it will probably be more ££ (ill edit my post and get the ball rolling again

Not another bloody name list!
Good work chaps
I'll take one, price dependant. Handy to have a spare.
lol so wheres the name list then...??
Difference is I'm taking note of the names but I see no mention of desired price
If I was to say £25 ish max, maybe less ? This is based on 100 initial units ???
yup from me clee, keep me on the list
What was the price when they were available from Renault?
