it would not have a gated try like in my pic, that would cost more than £300 on its own.

I have nearly the same one, it is a Mountune one but you won't belive the price I paid for it. Will take picture tomorrow.

Martin sold the last one he had for £275 to Ben, which he fitted into one of my big wing sumps.

Here's pictures of the sump before the baffles were fitted:











Danny,
How much were you thinking of making them for?

Not sure, matters on the numbers really.


Thats why i posted, as if someone's making them, and selling them for less than a fair wage, i won't bother.


What do you userlly sell to your customers Mike?

I've never sold one, as Mountune used to do them (they only list the Grp N ones now), but I think they have now discontinued them, so you should be able to sell them okay for £275?

i was thinking about £300-£325 if done in 3-5 at a time,

could be cheaper,
as if i did start making them, and once i have a system and a jig, the labour time will decrease.

Vic,

I have a DJR (super, super trick) sump baffled and gated if you need to copy.

Will get some pics.

P.S. - my mobile not working.

Lincoln,

looks like I'll be needing your services once again!

I actually have a cast motorsport item, but no drop in baffle/gates as such.

Did you get my SMS today? PM me if you need to.

Lincoln,

that is AWESOME.. I may have to get you to take the baffle out to copy

Perhaps my baffle is for a speedway race car? Reason why I say that is that the gates are not 'centred'. See what I mean:







looks rather wrong!!!
