Shame you didn't pop up 6 months ago when my work was sourcing a fibreglass shell and panels for an élan !

What parts can you do on an élan ?

I'm sure it will soon be in a gravel trap at brands in many pieces .....

Don't suppose you allow the moulds to be rented?

Hi,

I have just checked with Lewis and as the Mk2 Roof Mould is not booked in for anything else this week so we could have this ready for collection for Friday...He doesn't mind working through the nights :-)

Hi Andrew,

Right, I'm sold but don't worry about pushing the boat out to get it done for this weekend because I'm not going to be able to get down and collect anything until the weekend between Crimbo and New Year at the earliest.

I'll give you a buzz tomorrow when I'm on my lunch and we can have a chat about it all.

Cheers,

Nick

No problem at all, might be best to email at info@lwsdesign.co.uk or give me a call on 07980 859857

Regarding renting the moulds, sadly not they as you can imagine are very precious to us and one scratch or any damage would render the mould useless for perfect products...im sure you would take good care but if sure you understand our risk is too great.

Thanks

Sorry for late response, been travelling all day! amazing how a 3 hour flight can take all day travelling!

The bonnets are stiff, they do have more flex in them than the standard bonnet but they are very strong and in particular when the full carbon option is made then it is quite strange to handle them as they are so light yet large and feel very sturdy....but light!

See I am tired, even missed a question, sadly we do not currently have the Mk2 Wings, as with any product if there is enough interest then we can produce but to justify the time typically we need 5 orders for the carbon product before we can justify making the mould.....and supply of the perfect wing to mould from!
