Rare Spares

[HK1837]

Guys

Awesome day. The scale or RSP'd operation is huge, repro parts is only a part of it. The quantity of ehat they have in stock is mind blowing, and to walk around and see NOS stuff there ready for sampling is very interesting. Seeing repro HQ nose panel samples for instance....

As for quality issues, I am semi-convinced they are now heading in the right direction, and I now have (meaning you guys also now have) a direct input right to the Directors of the Company with feedback on what is not right, and what we want to see reproed.

On top of this, I looked through their new product bulletins for last year. They are going to provide these to me, so I can post them up here for all of us to see what is coming and what is now available.

I'll post more later, but we should not miss this opportunity to be involved.

Note, new GTS wheels are on the way, very hard to pick from original. Unfotunately they are only going to be thin spoke, but hell it at least helps most Sandmans. As for wish list stuff, we are in now on the ground floor with this, at least they'll now listen.

We discussed upper tailgates as a repro item for consideration. I'm also in Les's ear about modifying a HZ fascia mould to make HJ examples.

I made it quite clear to him in front of his partners and senior persons that the Sandman resto movement is growing fast, and is probably going to be the biggest growth area in the Holden resto market for the next few years.
I also encouraged them to look into selling restored, exchange front control arm sets. If they are done right it certainly makes our lives easier, especially if top balljoints can be riveted on. All they have to do is go and buy 20 sets off Greg and overhaul them and away they go. I also suggested they make quality repro balljoint rubbers as per original GMH balljoints and tie-rods.

How about lower ones to suit vans?

I've asked Les about that numerous times.....to no avail. I hope it happens.
