    Re: Targa Catch refurb kit

    Ok I really want to do this as part of my build so need a few more before I commit. I accept I won’t cover all costs initially but confident will sell over time, just need to reduce financial exposure a bit more. I have been reading up on bending spring steel even small diameter. Metal work at school in mid 70s came flooding back. (Annealing, tempering and hardening, Cherry red, blue, straw!!)

    I finish work on Tuesday having taken early retirement and feel like an expectant father waiting for the LB kit. I know this should be in build thread but had a play in garage today cleaning up a few bits. I have both types of steering column so lightly blasted, wire brushed etc.

    Bit of a thread hijack, but I can get stainless steel versions of the door handle plates made (shown in Neil's last post). I got some done and my local place will still have the files for doing them.

    a very fine mineral powder. It’s only good for light paint / rust removal. I then finished them off on the wire brush wheel on my bench grinder.

    The price would definitely drop probably to sub £25 it’s just standing the cost with the risk of not selling them. It’s the clevis pins that are the killer and only one company has come back to me prepared to do them.

    Ok. I’ve decided to go for it. Springs, e clips and wave washers ordered. I am doing one more loop on the pins before ordering those. Once I have started putting together I’ll move to a group buy thread.
