Stainless rear wishbones

Postby Stef » Tue 01.07.2014, 16:21

Only used for a few months.

Off old Blipi and as good as new.

Can't remember what I paid for them but remember they were not cheap. Better than standard replacements!

Looking for around £700 or offers.

Thanks

Chris says Gareth told him you'd paid £500 when he picked it up from Donington for you.

:shock:

Wow, that sounds like the bargain of the century - I doubt a person could even get them made for that price!

Goeff,

I think you're miss-informed....

...Having been in the group buy from the earliest of stages (but then voluntarily dropping to the second list when someone else needed a set urgently), I can say that they were more than that!

As with any such projects, various figures were bandied about during the development, but at some point, material costs increased, and costs went up a bit....

I don't believe that I ever received a full invoice from Gareth, but IIRC I paid nearer to £600 than £500.

Either way, costs have increased over the years, and to make a single set now (to the same spec) would probably cost significantly more.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

I'd happily pay £500 for them AND give the difference to Gareth!

Opportunist if you don't mind! :D
But at least I try to make sure nobody loses out.
