TTRickeh Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Complete units sell on egay for about that Complete units? There seems to be a lot of people on the net saying you can get the mast from Honda for ~£30. Can't find any genuine ones on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 It's fairly clear that this guy of yours that was going to make the brackets either isn't interested or doesn't have the time, if this is the case then what about taking the thing to a small engineering firm and getting them to do it. With the quantity you want it will bring the unit cost down. as soon as i am off this exercise and i catch up with him, and he hasnt done anything then i will take it else where i am on leave from the first so should have all the time in the world to sort this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 UPDATE and its not good news , the fella i asked to do this hasn't bothered to do any of what i asked, so Ive got the design back off him and i now have 3-4 weeks off work ( perks of being a soldier ) so i will now look for some where in Newcastle to see if I can get these fabricated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 woh hang on ........... you think thats stopping me ?? i am already looking into a company to make the extension bars and brackets, ive found a few places, thanks to google, that may very well be able to make these ............... but the price may go up, we will just have to wait and see , i need to get up north and get on the ground in Newcastle first people............ dont lose faith just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 update: I will be popping out to day to a local metal fabricators to see if they can knock a few of the extension bars and brackets this may put the price up also ive found some even shorter aerials that may look better, any opinions on the stubbier stubby? i think what i will do is the group buy in batches of 10 just to keep the mayhem down and manageable until i get things sorted with the suppliers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I think the s2000 aerials are about the right size but tbh i suspect everyone is more concerned with reception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I prefer the length of the S2000 aerial myself. I'm happy to provide a test car for whilst you're up in Newcastle if you need it. If you get one knocked up in time, any chance you could bring it to the meet on the 15th for us to have a gander? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 If you get one knocked up in time, any chance you could bring it to the meet on the 15th for us to have a gander? Great idea And I'll be test car number 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Right guys been down my local fabricator and it looks like they can do the extension bars so that's good news, price however will be going up due to the cost of the stainless being so expensive at the moment . So all is looking good As for the bracket to hold everything down to the car I've been pointed in the direction of a company that do high pressure water cutting ,....... But they are shut today i will drop by them on Monday I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
