OK I HAVE JUST CUT AND PASTE FROM ANOTHER THREAD THE POST BELOW - I HAVE CHOSEN TO CREATE THIS NEW THREAD TO ALLOW AN ACCURATE FEEL FOR AUS INTEREST - THANKS !
![Very Happy :-D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Sorry to be the bearer of REAL BADDY BAD news I was informed this week that there are now no more Mk2 Brumby tailgates avalible from Subaru Japan - so thats fenders and Tailgates now off limits
Gets worse too....
The fenders will not be re-run by the Taiwanese copy cat manufacturer - so expect prices to rise for any originals still out there.........
However we are looking at commissioning a pattern for Composite replacement Brumby tailgates here in the UK along with front wings too.
Had a meeting yesterday (Friday) with the company who is to quote me for this.
I have accuired some brand new un-used wings and a new tail gate to form the pattern from so they will be as perfect as can be.
The chosen company already manufacture vehicle body parts and the quality is excellent and they have the working knowledge to make the parts we need.
Mr Frog could well be the Aus point of contact if things come together and we have batches made. (he doesnt know just yet though !!)
Please post any serious interest here so as to gauge if we can seriously export numbers to Aus. (the more we ship the cheaper each unit can be)
Makes economic sense to have one pattern only made so as to keep artomisation (spelling??) costs per finished unit as low as possible.
I am able to handle this here in the UK from a development and quality point of view and can then go onto orgainise shipments.
If there was a similar op happening in Aus then the tooling cost versus the numbers to be made each end would be very high = high unit sale cost.
Sorry - too early for prices just yet but will be pushing on this heavily as there is a paitently waiting group here in UK wanting these items.
More news as things develop.
