Aprilia (possibly Ardea) wing/body strip

[lancianut666]

I need something similar (vaguely) for my S1 Appia but it is of a different profile.

Whilst on subject of body strips , I have just put a 2.0 Lancia hpe ie back on the road after 19 years in a barn , I’m looking for passenger rear wing body strip and aluminium decor strip to hatch . Any help would be appreciated thanks

Hi Yarni
Good luck, IMHO, I think the HPE is the best of the Betas (cat among the pigeons ?) and I am sure a Beta specialist will help. However, remaking these trims will be possible, as with any part or fabric, so long as you can get enough people interested .....

I have just signed the tooling order for this and have agreement from enough people to justify the first batch, this is a last shout to say that if anyone else is interested, PLEASE let me know because it will be a while before I am likely to get another batch made

Thanks

A final note on this one, I have just received the trim, cut into the various lengths and ready to pack and send.

It is a perfect reproduction of the original and I am very happy with it .......

A big 'Thank You" to everyone who joined in and made it possible, because this is the first time the trim has been available for many years (and at a sensible price) and it is unlikely that I will make any more for a while

Having sent out the batches to interested parties , we have started a trial fit on a rear wing on the Cabrio

The photos tell the story !

Good work. Not planting today then??

My question is why the drill chuck in the drill chuck?

[simonandjuliet]

Tim , still waiting for it to dry up , but I have finished pruning for this year , so every cloud and all that

David, the big chuck is too big for the small drill, so, step-down chucks !

I would be interested, as well. I did try to have some made and found that extruders just were not interested, even when I offered to pay for tooling and agreed to take the huge minimum amount - some 1,000 metres. I also tried another avenue that I thought would be better - a polished aluminium-coloured vinyl. This would not corrode, as the original aluminium piece did, and would be much easier to fit. In the end, I gave up and used the rubber one from Cicognani. My plan is to try painting it, using aluminium- coloured paint. I expect this would eventually wear off or require renewing.

Hi Peter, I have sent you an email, but if anyone else is interested , please let me know to see if I can make another batch

[simonandjuliet]

Just to let you know that I have had enough interest to make another batch - I have made an extra set this time so if anyone is interested please contact me asap
