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
well, it is not what I thought, sorry about that.
Best of luck for the following, I assume you'll find one soon
Dale,
These could be excellent for the club shop.
Everyone needs jacking points!
Got a N/S/F, O/S/F already welded on car. Cant believe price and availability of these now.
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
I have 3 sets of these as was purchasing them for both my cars for future and for a local member who hasn't asked for them. Local member and myself managed to get into the shed and start sorting out the parts. Didn't quite get to the brand new parts shel but it's now easy accessible so hopefully need weekend will be start of sorting out those
Liam/Dale,
If we have a set to replicate then that's great news! 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.
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.
Yeah no problem. I would rather do a batch and send them to whoever to sell/dispatch from the club shop, than be stuck with a load of them to try and shift myself. They should be relatively cheap to make if made in bulk.
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.
Pretty sure these are indeed mirrored.
Would mine get damaged during the copying process???? I wouldn't be that keen on posting them if I am honest....
It would be good to get bumper strips made . As people are trying to sell the for 350 on eBay how would we do that?
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
i could also do with a few sets of jacking points there just crazy prices!
I've seen the bumper strips being done in France a while ago but nothing has come of it so far?
I also have a new pair if needed ?
Ok will do.
Yeah it as i have an abundance of sheet ally, I will make a template out of ally and bend it all up and see how it looks. Then I can draw it up and get a price from my laser cutter for different quantities, then it will be a case of making a few up and see how long they take to do.
I need one new bumper strip any one got one for sale but not for stupid money
Great club spirit all.
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 can get a price for both mild steel and stainless, in all honesty it wouldn't be massively different in material cost. You can weld mild steel to stainless fine, just use different gas when using MIG.
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......
Oh my.........
Just waiting on matty to assess them and see what he can come up with........
any update on the made up jacking points?
Someone in Holland is making them.
Scroll down the page to them:

No price listed.
Can't tell how strong they are.
They might be in stainless.
