Title: Type 1 fibre glass flip fronts?
Post by: Jim Smith on January 06, 2009, 16:27:25 pm
Does any one still make them? Anyone got a good used one they want to sell? Anyone got a mould for one?
  Would be perfect if some one in the UK had one, but no problem to jump on a ferry!!

Thanks   Jim

Hi Jim

I have a pre 67 one piece front.The guy I bought it from said it was an old Wizard of rods moulding.It has never been fitted on a car,just mocked up,there are no mounting/indicator/bumper holes at all just the headlamp buckets.It has been sprayed and is in very good shape.I was going to use it on a car but have had a change of plan.

Cheers Pas

Rob, I had a look at the advert and I think the price you've put down is for the master cylinder above - the price for the flip front is £200, that's the way I read it anyway! ;)

Thanks Jason/neil, have had a look at creative, one of their fronts will be a plan b, dont want to imagine the price of shipping one over here yet!! You are right Neil, £200 for the front not £60 :D

There is one in Belgium as well, if you want to I can contact the seller, it's actually a brand new one as sold by BBT in Antwerp.

EDIT: after 1 day it has been sold  >:( Sorry to get your hopes up. But it seems they are for sale brand new at BBT's for 300 euro. I don't know the quality, but below is a picture.

Cheers,
Tim
