Hi
....the dress rims for the GTS wheels have a severe sharp edge on them, and we will have to grind them or loose our fingers when we wipe them. Other than that most of the other stuff has been quite good....the tyre placard was not as good as the one stickthis supplied so we will return it....if they let us, it wasn't much so not a drama...I will check about other stuff when Rodney gets home, and update this thread. We ordered some armrests 8 months ago, and they are still on backorder, maybe they are trying to make them a better way, am not sure of that one.

Okay Rodney home now, there was some problem with the side rear blinker inserts, I had to grind a lug off one, so it could be turned over because they didn't make a right left one, also therere was a hole in the red clearance light end of this insert so I had to cut a small piece of steel and glue it on so the lense didnt fill up with dust...

Jennie,

I got my reproduction armrests from the dashboard doctor in Melbourne and think they are very good quality. As for the dress rims, I found out the hard way recently as I sliced through my chamois and fingers!!!:hurt:

Thanks for the pic, [MENTION=711]Q set[/MENTION] was interesting to see that it is all in one piece and includes under the glass to include vents. All those good spots that moisture, bugs and crud gather that the vacuum doesn't reach!

How are the arm rests coming along?

HQ armrests are a long way off we have just made the HK one using injection tooling as soon as the HK ones are on the market we will start making the HQ ones using injection tooling, If I had to guess I would say we will have HQ ones in about 11 months.

Excellent to see Rares are listening to their customers and are making the full panel rather than the half arsed one that was originally proposed. well done Les and Big Cav......

Any word on the replacement cowls? for the HJ -WB?

[gregbark]

The HQ cowl panel sample required some minor correction and the tooling is currently being modified. It was very close but not 100%.We will test a new sample soon. It will have the dash pad retaining strip. Then then HJ one will be finished on the tooling and again a sample tested for acceptance. We have vehicles for testing of both HQ & HJ.

Any idea on timeframe? Trying to figure if it is worth waiting for (looking for one to suit wb)
