We approved the samples of the FE - EK sill panels today they are as per original price will be around $195.00 each expected delivery mid November

There you go i didnt know about the nasco logo.


Dont really care either the amount of NASCO stuff on ebay thats knocked off im sure im the least of their worries
Mines modified for the waterjet so therefore its more than 10 percent different so it doesnt breach copyright..

Thats what happened when a competitor copied one of my products that has a patent any more than 10 percent they cant do anything.

I think you will find there is a difference between patent and Trade Marks copyright

Did these items ever become available as Repro items ?  All of the threads on here about them appear to have "dead ends" ...

Any information would be appreciated ...

Cheers , Dave .

They are coming we had to remake the mould, don't have a date yet.

[10 set]

G'day Les

I put this to the WA members and got a 10 set response as well

Cheers
Gary

That's 20sets only 80 to go

rares or ebay has them.

We do not make them but if there is a call we could look at making them.
Les

Just to let everyone here we found an FC right hand sub frame in stock today ,it was found during stock take last week . It is NOS we brought it from Fiji some time ago and it got lost in the warehouse until stock take. the part number is 7410016 it should be at Roxburgh Park store this week.
Les 

Hi Les,
What sort of numbers are we looking for to make it viable ?
We should ask at club meetings as not everyone watches the forum.
Depending on the volume that needed to be made, I would of thought most of the work would be in the mould or die,
once that is made they could be pressed out to order in small numbers eg.400

Just my thoughts
Cheers Stewy   

Hi Stewy
The bulk of the cost is in the die, although most if not all manufacturers want to make at least 1000 units. If we could sell say 400 then it would be viable as we could sell the other 600 over a long period as we have done with a lot of other parts, some parts take many years to get a return.

any news on the caps to suit 14in rims

No news whatsoever we never contemplated making hub caps to suit 14" rims, it also looks as if there is not a great interest in the standard size hub caps.

is that for a set of 4 Les

FE 4 ME

I wish it was for a set of 4 that price is for one made from steel, Stainless would be about $75.00 each

How does $69.00 sound for new Hub Caps

I have been told that the container containing the FC door hanles arrived today they should be in stock next week
Les

we will get them quoted and see what happens

Is there any call for new FE FC hub caps
Les

[Change Supplier. How hard is that.]

Ken you should not read this mate as you will not like what you read and im sorry for that in advance.

Been waiting over 12 months for a front windscreen rubber (since sourced from ken )
Been waiting over 12 months for front screen mould screws.
Been waiting over 12 months for bumper bar bolts.
Rear door quater glass seals dont fit correctly. In the process of making new ones however are still supplying them in kits and individually knowing they are incorrect and are difficult to fit.
Bought a seat trim kit. No mounting screws or spacers. One side trim matt black in color. lower trim cracked.
Just been told after opening another kit that all are the same and will not be repairing/repainting. (will refund money)
Again asked about bumper bolts and screen screws. Still not available through their supplier. Told them a bloke on ebay has them. They tell me they are having problems with the supplier? Change Supplier. How hard is that.
My bitch for the day but if Rares is serious about keeping customers they need to take notice.

Hi Brett, Lance Corby 0419330941 here Les has asked me to get back to you with an answer to your issues.
We have stock of the Both Standard and Special Screen seals, part numbers WSF107 & WSF107A Screw for frontscreen moulding is in stock Part number CP1264 Bumper Bar bolts, we have had on going problems with Quality and I cannot give you a delivery date on.
Rear 1/4 seals, we have had these re made as original and they are in stock, Part numbers RRQS103 & RRQS104 As for the seat trims, I am looking into this issue.
Can you please either give me your phone number or call me to further discuss the issues.

Regards
Lance Corby

Yes I did pass feedback to rares and had ZERO replies on all 4 occasions I was dumb enough to purchase the stuff I even rang them and they said they would call back and still nothing so not only are thier gear well well well below par they have poor customer service as well to add the cherry to the crap cake they give. It is completely my own fault for not listening to others warning me against buying their gear so my apologies to rares and I accept all responsibility.

I am very interested in where you sent your feedback or who you contacted, we make it a priority to answer feedback wether good or bad. As for the problems you mention I have fitted FC floor pans and had no problems considering that the original floor has been in place for over 50 years and would have taken some punishment and would not be the same shape as when it was new. As for the shackle rubbers they are made larger than the spring and have to be compressed, if you cut them down then they will not function as they should. 
Les

We do not sell wiper shaft seals for FE FC so Spectrum’s are defiantly better, as for the door handle gaskets are they better because they have a raised edge unlike ours which are closer to original, I guess it is a matter of opinion or what you are trying to achieve.
Les

As I said Rare Spares are the only ones making these products, what you will find is people claiming to make these products and others when all the do is buy in from a Rare Spares Distributor

Rare Spares are the only company making FE FC door seals, windscreen seals, quarter vent seals as well as many other rubbers

Found out this is a RS kit and from RS is $94 as opposed to $89.

The one on ebay is a Rare Spares kit , If you are a club member you get a discount which would bring it below $89.00

Les,

I have headlamp harness sleeves in pretty good nick for the early FE Bosch headlamps.....but the ends of the later Lucas ones are bigger I think (the end that goes into the bucket). Which ones are you intending to remanufacture?

Jon

I did not know there are two types if there is enough demand we will make both
