Price dependent but I'd be happy with either option. The stronger the better though. No chance of developing two mounting methods? I like the look of them being clean cut but if I had them they would be used off roading and the last thing I want is for them to fall off (like my standard ones are!)

Thanks for the feedback guys
It would be possible to do both options but this will
make the overall cost more, so would rather just
stick to one set . The more sets we make the cheaper it will
be over all .B) B)

All,

It looks like this is coming together. I have just been speaking to Nick and the plan is to produce a further prototype as a quality check and then to move to production.

As you can tell from what Nick, these will be properly produced, therefore there are elements such as a "minimum viable production run" along with economies of scale. Therefore it is likely to require some upfront commitment to enable the production to happen. Nick is going to sort the production costs out and will come up with a price which will be posted here. We will then sort out the best way for you to then purchase the items, so you need to start to consider whether the tentative thumbs up you gave earlier is going to turn into a commitment.

Thanks

Martin

Well Ill give you a definite here and now.

as for fixing method .. as far as Im concerned, the easier the better ... remove originals and swap for these is the best option for me.

As i said more sets means cheaper for all.:cheer: :cheer:
As soon as the group list is in we can sort out a price.

As for fitting i will try to use the Suzuki fitting option (The general consensus)
if this proves to be a pain and (more costly) i will go down the
bushwaker route,This maybe the best option as it will be more secure
but please let me know what you think.
We are trying to do the best deal for evey body
Hope this anwsers your questions

cheers Nick

I'd like a set but I'm still waiting to go back to work after my new knee in January!
Have now got nerve damage to my foot. (Dead foot)
So until I'm back at work I can't comit to a set. Sick pay running out. Oh well. :(

I might have to watch for them coming in to the Jimny shop.

They look well in the pictures, good job.

Keep me updated on costs and I'll have a set off you. What if you had an up front cash commitment that helped you do the initial batch and then see how demand went on ebay etc? If demand on ebay was good then work out a lower cost due to the higher production and then give back the difference?

It might provide a higher number of initial investors willing to stump up a higher price...

Otherwise just give us a price and I'll shut up!
