Does anyone have a pair of front r5 jacking points that could be borrowed for reproduction?
Hey matt,
I might have one in France in my spare cardboard box which is down my garage and have all spare bumpers and parts for my GTT.
What does it look like? I can dig it out mid november if interested.
cheers
I am going through my shed (this weekend) to find my spare sets as well as a battery tray and clamp and hopefully get to a local company to see what they can do.
well, it is not what I thought, sorry about that.
Best of luck for the following, I assume you'll find one soon ;)
Worth doing fuel tank straps whilst at it? Anything else, just trying to think what else I have in my shed
Dale,
These could be excellent for the club shop. :D
Everyone needs jacking points!:D
Got a N/S/F, O/S/F already welded on car. Cant believe price and availability of these now. :eek:
iv been looking at doing this, but no one iv asked seems to have any!!! don't think many want to admit stashing them away, its going to be the parts that I think will defo get reproduced somewere
Well it should be RTOC to reproduce these. I'm happy to try and help but we need to source some. If it's viable I suggest the club could purchase what's available? I think they are £139 a side from recent eBay ads.Quote:

I have some in the loft somewhere.
Liam/Dale,
If we have a set to replicate then that's great news! :D Are we now looking for a firm that can reproduce these and get a cost for maybe 10 sets?
i am in need of a set right now so will happily stump up some funds if it means I get them first :-)
Lets make this happen guys. The future of the club would really be boosted if we can souce and replicate parts like this, it keeps the cars on the road and also helps keep prices down. :agree:
I need a set myself. I guess we could do a group buy and the remainder for club shop?
If you can send one to me, I can have a look into copying it. 👍 I wouldn't be able to make exactly like OE with all the pressed shapes, but it would be close.
Matty. Could you do this exclusively for rtoc? The reason being is we would not want to be stuck with a load of stock if available elsewhere.;)Quote:

Matt. That's great. I guess we just need a set for you to copy...........
If they are identical to each other just mirrored then just one should be fine. :agree:
Pretty sure these are indeed mirrored. :agree:
Would mine get damaged during the copying process???? I wouldn't be that keen on posting them if I am honest....

Not at all, it will only be used to measure from to get some parts water jet out, to get the holes in correct place etc... Then it will be used to check against once the bends have been put into place on the new ones. More of a comparative part than anything else. :agree:Quote:

I reckon the Phase2 front bumper rub strips could be made on a 3D printer.

Shouldn't be a problem to post but obviously damage or loss paid for. Bumper strips are being done by somebody in France
:agree: Just put it in a big box with a lot of padding.Quote:

I've seen the bumper strips being done in France a while ago but nothing has come of it so far?
Awesome!:agree: Matt can you send Dale your address? I guess from receipt of the part it will be down to cost and timescales?Quote:

Ok will do. :agree:Quote:

I will have one mines rottenQuote:

Just as the dummy build?Quote:

I have a pair Matt, let me know if you have no luck pal 👍🏼Quote:

We just need to get one to Matty so he can measure it up and give us a cost on replicating them.
Matty can you drop the guys a pm with your address?
I'm not sure about postage costs but no one should be out of pocket. Ian, anything we can do to cover costs?
Could they be made from stainless steel and still have the strength and weldability and not be too much more expensive?
As these seem to be one of the first of the original parts to corrode away. People doing repairs now would be wanting these to last indefinitely, not just a few years as Renault likely intended.
I suspect that'll bump the cost up quite significantly and welding SS to mild is a bit more difficult?. To be honest if new jacking points are fitted and sealed correctly they'll last for years anyway.Quote:

The other option is to go for a heavier gauge material, although this will make it more difficult to weld to original gauge panels.
Update on this: a bit of behind the scenes discussions and James has kindly agreed to send Matty the jacking points for assessment. Hopefully Matty can get these reproduced at a decent cost. If so, who ever wants a set should watch this space......;)
Any news on the jacking points:agree:Quote:

Thanks
Oh my.........:sad2:
Just waiting on matty to assess them and see what he can come up with........
Who by?Quote:

No price listed.
Can't tell how strong they are.
They might be in stainless.
Hello,
Thanks for the link I have spoken to the seller he said it will cost for a set of front jacking points £135 with delivery. There made of 1 and 2mm steal.
He will however do a bulk buy 10 sets for £100 each and total of £18 delivery.
Would anyone like to do a bulk buy?
He also does the rear jacking points £65 a set so he says.
Thanks
Thanks for that info :)
Sorry about the mess with the like/dislike. I wondered if the 'dislike' would cancel the 'like' as I wanted to do a 'thanks' instead. But no, and I just found we can't edit them either.
We very briefly mentioned having some for the RTOC shop but didn't discuss it.
We'd need to have a hands on feel, look, measure, before investing £1018 in what might be scrap. Or excellent, but can't discern from those photos and write up.
Anyway, we have to add the packaging and postage to the buyer, maybe £10, and the PayPal fees we pay on £101.80 + P&P, so maybe about £118 would be our cost.
