I'd love a pair, what would be the best material to do them in so I can spray them the same colour as my dash?


what colour is your dash? im guessing orange, the best thing to do would be to powder coat them, which i have othe facility to do, but dont have orange.

OMG id love a pair of these!!!

Would even pay extra if you could make them shorter for me as i have a tiny 10 inch steering wheel and i think the current original ones are too long and stick out to much when used with my current wheel!!!!

unfortunatly you can really make them any shorter, if you wanted to make them stick out less you'd have to cut the actual arm down and re weld it.

Even more perfect!

So have you got a final cost for these? I'd imagine I'd pay a little more to have it coloured?

No thats exactly what I thinking. Surely the bit on the end slides onto the arm so therefore could you not just cut the end of the arm shorter and then slide the bit on the end?

haven't got a final cost just yet but the powder coating would be included in the price, as they would all be powder coated, the alloy ones will be clear coated for protection.
