I'm afraid I don't subscribe to the 'it's got to be ugly to work well' school.
|
A lot of trailer queen vehicle owners I have seen have this approach in my personal opinion. Full stop.
|
Helbus, I think you'd be mightily impressed by some of the "ugly" things Liam66 has built. I certainly was...and none of them were trailer queens.
Think tough truck challenge and you have the idea. 
|
That is what I mean. Things don't always have to be pretty. Working well (like a tough truck) is a fantastic primary function.
Then I suppose ugliness is in the eye of the beholder.

Hi
No worries, a second group buy maybe in order.
I may take a while to get mine fitted, I'm really having a push to get my car ready to go to the painters then I can concentrate on the mechanical
bits. I've realised that my modified Subaru engine mounts will be in the way, so I will need to redo them.
Maybe you could do a step by step on the fitting of the sump.

Hi guys,
don´t worry, there will be more of them! I regularly do these sumps. Just am doing some on my CNC-mill. Have two available of this batch, all others
are sold again.
The bottle neck is mostly the faundry. They have a lot to do currently and most of the time I get less than I ordered.
MickH, thanks for your positive comments and for what you did by taking the risk of a group buy.
Another group buy would be the cheapest option for those who are interested, but I also send single ones to Australia.
Thanks again for your trust in me and my products.
Although there is discussion on my parts at the moment there have already been some good orders from Australia the last 2-3 years.
