Speedo Binnacle Covers - Group Buy Feeler - P12 - Prototypes fitted, all OK!

[Jim 1]

Hi folks..

 

Thanks to diarmaid16 very kindly loaning me a pair of new speedo binnacle covers, I'm making enquiries with a company I talked to at the NEC Classic Car show, who reproduce obsolete car parts by 3D scanning and 3D printing them. They showed me a demo of the hardware they use, and I also had the chance to check out some items they'd already printed - it was all quite impressive.

 

At this point I have literally no idea on possible prices, and lead times for getting them made. However my intention would be for them to be no more than something like a tenner a pair, bearing in mind that the cost for the covers will need to factor in the scanning, and any tidy up work on the image that's scanned as well as the manufacturing costs. The benefit with the 3D printing solution is that there should be no tooling costs so the prices shouldn't be insane. If they do turn out to be expensive, we'll need to get a consensus on whether there are people who want these parts so badly they're willing to pay more, and decide whether we still go ahead.

 

So at this point, I just want to know who would be interested in a pair (or pairs), subject to them being a reasonable price. More details will follow as soon as I have them!

 

Thanks.

I'll have a set as spare if this does go ahead. Would they need painting or is the colour correct from the printer?

[Jim 1]

My hope is they'll be a gloss black plastic and won't need painting!

[dragon green 4]

Yes - but I was under the, clearly mistaken impression, that these were obsolete and no longer available! Already looks like there's not much point in doing this group-buy?!

[paddy26 3]

Since you already have around 16 interested people you could maybe see if arz will give a forum discount for this part, or maybe all corrado parts?

 

\Paddy

[Jim 1]

Indeed - I might see about dropping them a line. Maybe arrange a group buy on these parts and see what they can do on like 20 pairs. I'd suggest folks keep registering their interest and we can go from there!

[Jon_vr6 1]

The ARZ tuning ones were the ones that were made by some chinese company and they were a rubbish fit so keep with your company Jim

[dragon green 4]

I bought a set of the ARZ ones,as stated earlier,they are the same as the cheap Chinese ones,and don't fit properly !

[Jim 1]

Ah OK - good info! We're back on then! ;)

[robrado974 1]
