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 Title: Re: Type 1 fibre glass flip fronts? Post by: Pas on January 06, 2009, 17:17:41 pm 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 Title: Re: Type 1 fibre glass flip fronts? Post by: Martin on January 06, 2009, 22:36:41 pm I think Luke at tbs still has a mold for the wik front end moody ran.

Post by: Jim Smith on January 09, 2009, 10:00:23 am 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
