Over riders

[clyde]

I know some of you folks are after some, and i just spotted this on thesamba and wondered if youd be interested. They are quite cheap.

Its only one aint it.....and looking a tad knackered

"I was going to straighten it, but never got a round tuit"

LMAO - I'm sure I have a round tuit in my toolbox.

 

[Araon]

Can I borrow it, my missus is always complaining I never got a round tuit...

 

[lobus]

I'll swap you for some Lerts, I'm always being told to 'Be a Lert" so there must be lots of em round these parts.
As soon as I can get my hands on one I will know what they are and then I will start trading. :lol:

I'm surprised no one makes these they dont look to difficult to manufactor and you'd never be able to tell they werent original as there so simple in design!

Maybe if we get these hinges working that could be the next venture!

 

[Joval]

Plus no chrome to worry about, should be easy to make even in fiberglass.

...not that I care - I picked up a really good set on thesamba for $150 :wink:

 

[ddffrost]

Only tricky bit would be the rubber i guess!

Prob be easier and better to make in metal though!

 

[Araon]

The rubbers are no problem to buy so all you need is the overriders for a blank and your away....

 

[ddffrost]

cool i dont think they'd be to difficult no moving parts or anything!

 

[Joval]

If anyone has any ideas how to go about this, like I said I have a good set on the way that can be used as a template.

 

[ddffrost]

After about 6 months of trying to find a good metal work fabricator for these z hinges i have found a good place so if the hinges go well might branch out and put the overiders into production to.

..have you got a round tuit?

 

[ddffrost]

first re designed set are expected today so i'll let you know lol

if these are in today i'll be fitting this weekend so fingers crossed i guessed.

i'm expecting a few teething problems with the first set so hopefully we'll get those fixed this weekend and can start making sets for sale in the next week or so.

 

[Araon]

:wink: nice one...

 

[Araon]

I'm building a furnace in the back garden may have a look at casting some overriders.....see how they come out nice simple shape should cast really well....

 

[ground hugger]

FLAT PACK OVERIDERS sounds good :lol:

was talking to steve :wink: about this idea a few weeks ago,laser cut bent into shape and welded,welds polished smooth
haypresto 1 overrider obviously a better template would be required :lol:

 

[ddffrost]

they must have been cast as one whole part originally?

 

[mark__gti]

so if someone started to make these can you still get hold of the rubbers??
