    Re: Genuine Renault towing eye cover

    I dunno. I assumed that because we're getting copies knocked up, they're no longer available from Renault? If that's the case, my previous question stands.

    Re: Genuine Renault towing eye cover

    You have to remember that that £25ish figure includes the TOOL to produce the part in the first place .
    I've always wondered ,being in the industry ,what happens to all these mould tools when they have gone past the 10 year parts supply legislation It cost something like 150 million to design and tool a new car .
    Do they throw them all in the skip or crush them ???On the whole they should be good for producing thousands of more parts but obviously there is little call for 20 year old bits of Renault plastic.................

    Re: Genuine Renault towing eye cover

    I'll definately have one also!!

    As for the material by the look of it i just think it's a filled Polypropylene?? It looks to be the same material as the bumpers themselves but they're GRP impregnated?

    Whatever you have them made of Clee as long as we all etch prime them before we paint them with the colour i'm sure it'll be all gravy!

    I'll try and get to the local guys this week and take him the sample .I think I may be able to get it a bit cheaper and lose some tooling cost .

    Re: Genuine Renault towing eye cover

    I won't

    Just throwing my toys out the pram and I've got the reaction I wanted

    They should be under £15 each .I'm beefing up the clips and guide ribs as well .Once I get a first off sample I can see how strong the clip area is .If it turns out a bit fragile then my man says he could easily cast in some metal clips that will do the job .They do this on some of the train models for that authentic look and feel .

    If it all turns out well I should be able to get other things knocked up ......

    Re: Genuine Renault towing eye cover

    I've just picked up the first off samples from the silicon tool
    The locating ribs and clips have all been beefed up .This is fine as the only reason they were delicate on the original was to stop sink marks on the visible face ,a common issue with injection mouldings .
    I shall be needing a 5 to test fit but I reckon I should see one or two knocking around Pod on Sunday

    Re: Genuine Renault towing eye cover

    These will be direct from me personally .
    I did ask the committee if we could look at the injection mould tooling etc but it was getting on towards £1500 to produce 100 units.It might have sat in the shop for ages and that sort of money is better spent elsewhere ( we have a lot of 5 parts in the shop now )

    It all went a bit dead so I've just got one done in silicon through one of my customers for now .It will produce around 35 I think ...I can get another one done if needs as and when

    I've let them know it fits and am just waiting on a reply for the delivery .
