stainless steel and alloy parts

[cooper_nova]

ok a friend and i are seriously considering going into bussiness making stainlees steel and alloy componets for vauxhalls...what sort of items would people be looking for?
things that have been talked about are items such as:
s/s exhaust manifolds
top hats
rose jointed quick shift kits
spark plug covers for xe's/let
cam belt covers
chassis plating kits
5 stud hub converters
the usual interior bits i.e. sill trims,gearknobs,handbrake covers,tax disc holders and the like
header tanks
expansion bottles
oil catch tanks
washer bottle tanks

thats a list of the few items i can rember at the moment,any other ideas/thoughts please feel free to post,and think of this a market research :thumb:

anything that people would like as one off items feel free to pm if you don't want them posted up

[bigbened]

Go for it mate just make sure you advertise, id go for other VXs aswell, cant be a bad idea, do the same parts as other makes but cheeper

nipple rings

[dave.gsi]

could you craft me some stainless steel trainers?

[Driver]

dont just stick to vauxhalls either the DUB and ford boys are big on that sort of stuff so do it for them

maybe show cages ??

[cooper_nova]

show cages now theres a good idea!

any other sensible ideas instead of trainers:wtf:

[Dan 130]

yeah sounds a good idea if you could replicate fearless cages and strut braces at good prices you could be onto a winner

[tom_beverley]

drool... fearless strut brace, now I'd have one of those

[General Baxter]

posh TD parts lol

stainless tube manifold,
a more direct inlet manifold,
alloy rocker cover,

[craig green]

How about a stainless steel bodyshell for a Nova? LOL

Usual tanks & stuff tbh. & a strut brace to suit XE & LET conversions is long over due.

[RJM25R]

XE/let braces-watch this space!

[Aamir]

Functional Rear Brace ?

[SRlew]

yeh ford stuff aswell is where its at ; )

sounds a good idea tho mate!

[Ojc]

Stainless bolts and bonnet pins, bonnet stays, bonnet springs etc etc etc

[Welsh Dan]

Aluminium doorcards, dashes, half-dashes, rear quarter trims would be nice aswell, especially if you offered a flocking option.

Edit: Scuttle covers, airboxes like the Irmscher ones for twin 40's.

[draper]

anything that unbolts

[bigbened]

id be interested in a cage

[bump]

Stainless / alloy plating kits are pointless as it makes them a PITA to weld on, as you need stainless wire and pure argon. The alloy would depend on composition as to method of attachment, but at the end of the day it's going on a mild steel shell, and the total weight is negligable.

Right, i will soon be able to offer a series of stainless steel covers for most engine's, just sorting a few niggly bits out, then ready to go.

Price will be very sensible, as im not a greedy @unt, but obvoiuisly im not a fapping charity either! :thumb:
