I know theres a few people chasing these, and I've found someone in Adelaide who can make replicas of these for us off my standard originals.

There would potentially be a choice between fibreglass and carbon fibre at different prices.

I don't have the quote yet, but what I want to know from people is...

  1. Are you interested?
  2. Carbon fibre or fibreglass?
  3. How much are you prepared to pay?

I don't remember how much these were available from the Russians for, but I'd like to get a ballpark and an idea of interest to see if this is worthwhile.

Ok so if he can't do them for less than $140 there's no point. He did say fibreglass was much easier though, because you could sand it down and clean it up and you don't have to worry about the weave, so I'd expect them to be cheap.

Remember you'd have to paint them too...

I think you and Dale are possibly the only two people, but I figured it might be worth chasing anyway to see if it was worthwhile, even for just the two of you. Hardly going to be a profitable venture... ;)

I'd say he'll struggle to do much better on price for a small run; maybe if there was big demand. I'm happy enough with the Russian price; fairly reasonable I thought.

Thanks for investigating Ryan :thumbsup:

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
