    Re: What do people want/need?

    Heading over to my local pipe supplier Tueday to collect some parts and have a chat. I've got a couple of manifolds to finish off then I'm on it.

    Is there much demand for the devil strut brace? I thought everyone was going OE these days? Lol

    Think devil stuff is considered virtually OE mate. I think it available from your local renault dealer back in the day.

    Repair panels. Common bits that let go like bumper mounts, jacking points and things.

    Or am I on the wrong lines?

    What about copies of safety devices or OMP roll cage? Or do they need some kind of certificate?

    Depends on what you intend to use them for. If you want to use them in any certified racing then they will need to be made to the correct standards and fitted in the correct way with re-enforcement plates welded to the car body. Most of the off the shelf cages are already made to FIA/whatever standards which makes it a bit easier, but I think as long as the cage is made to the correct standards it should be ok.

    If its just for show, i have (believe it or not) seen people use plastic waste plumbing pipes bolted in with self tapping screws etc...

    ok so im gonna be get dimensions in next week or so to make devil brace replicas, Will let people know price once i sort this as to getting materials, roll cages could be done possibly as the place my bars were bent are certified/approved.

    Brackets etc could be a possibility too! anything i can try and make for people i will make.. Just trying to kick start something off to see how it goes..

    If you're going to go down the route of producing roll cages I'd make it absolutely clear they are for show only and NOT intended as a safety device.

    Haha. Yeah def not hitting the bonnet would be a bonus.

    In all honesty, I'd like them to look exactly the same, even down to the sticker that was on it.

    I think if Devil were actually still making them they might kick up a fuss, but as long as it's sold as a replica I don't think it will be an issue. The slight dimension change would be belt braces though.

    Either way, I'd have one! Come to think of it, if you put an adjuster somewhere along its length (a bit like the OMP version) I'd prefer that, but for those who want a close copy for the aesthetics, I can understand that too.

    Thanks for them pics mate, i can lower the hole height slightly and the height on the up-piece..

    and they will be sold as replicas anyways, if i have to il put a slight difference on them, and an adjuster is something i may be able to do can let people know when i finalise it all

    Bare with me peeps having a brace sent to me to get dimensions etc.. will post up once ready to get numbers and see whos interested
