2redrovers 21,400 Posted September 5, 2016 Viola! Just ignore the missing corner, this is the first prototype and was made from a bit of scrap so I could work out what was going on. 3 XTREME KARTS XF, SLO247 and Thom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2redrovers 21,400 Posted September 6, 2016 Yes sir Can you take a measurement of the opening in your bar? Want to verify that it's the same as this one, my patch panel is 157mm side to side at about centreline which allows 1mm either side for clearance. Opening should be about 159-160mm.

SLO247 1,713 Posted September 7, 2016 If I could like more than once I would. Throw some on ebay, you should sell a few easily. 2 bear351c and 2redrovers reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hendrixhc 10,920 Posted September 7, 2016 Id just like to say that i have the number one sample on its way! In twenty or so years this thing will be worth a fortune! Thanks Rod. 2 Thom and 2redrovers reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2redrovers 21,400 Posted September 7, 2016 You're welcome mate. Hopefully it fits they way it should, I made it so it can easily be tweaked for individual bars. Just need to drill a couple holes in the tabs to suit your bar and screw through the plastic to keep in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XTREME KARTS XF 1,212 Posted September 7, 2016 What this Bloody Mark Head doing? I heard that he's abit of an engine guru?

2redrovers 21,400 Posted May 30, 2017 Selling a pair of repair sections for xp sedan These are the standard shaped ones I made first for the white xp. Think xm is the same shape. $150 ea plus postage. If you know anyone who may be interested, please spread the word. If you're on Facebook and know where to post it, I'd be very grateful if you wouldn't mind doing the honours on my behalf. Cheers 2 deankxf and Thom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPArKy_Dave 8,875 Posted May 30, 2017 I'll put them up now, on the XK-XP facebook page, and see if you get any bites. 1 2redrovers reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPArKy_Dave 8,875 Posted June 1, 2017 There seems to be a healthy amount of interest, just from the basic info I put in the FB post. Over a dozen people interested at this stage, with a couple wanting to make contact for panels right away. Shall I direct them here, give them a phone number, email? What do you want to do? 2 Outback Jack and 2redrovers reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2redrovers 21,400 Posted June 1, 2017 Wow cool. Maybe direct them here and get a bit of cross promotion for the forum tooAt the moment I'd only aimed to sell the pair I've got made. Hadn't thought about people wanting more...maybe I made them too cheap lol. 2 Outback Jack and SPArKy_Dave reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPArKy_Dave 8,875 Posted June 1, 2017 I think $150 is a good starting point... seems to be a fair price, as it's attracted reasonable interest right off the bat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPArKy_Dave 8,875 Posted June 1, 2017 I thought about directing people to your workshop thread. I've suggested to one bloke who PM'd me directly, to check it out. But this is your show, and I didn't want to overstep the mark. I wanted to seek permission first, so as not to do the wrong thing. 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2redrovers 21,400 Posted June 1, 2017 Congrats, you got the job of sales repI did find where you posted them up and I'm cool with what you've said. If this pans out into actual orders for parts, I'm going to need to borrow an xp for a few hours to make some good templates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottly 475 Posted June 2, 2017 Hey man, have you thought about making a replacement beaver panel to suit xd xe xf's maybe even stepping up the thickness of the sheet metal to make it that bit stronger. I'd be keen for 1 maybe even a spree one 1 2redrovers reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
