You may also want to contact Forrest on the site here. He goes by forrestkhagg. I think he fabricated his tins out of CF for his new 3.0/6 conversion

Patrick Motorsports in Phoenix makes a set also.

But the site says NLA.

Thanks, this seems to be the problem everywhere at the moment. I can't even find anyone who has anything in stock.

I've not had a reply from Rich yet. Does anyone know if Rich supplies to any anyone for resale?

Thanks, at this stage I'd prefer metal. I have a source for GRP in Germany.

Did you happen to check with RD to see if their tins are ready yet?

I have a couple sets of factory tin, both used and NOS and a few single pieces. Send me a PM and we can possibly work something out.

It's in the pipeline but no eta. I've emailed a couple of times and haven't been impressed with their comms unfortunately.

Do you need the entire set?

I have one out of 5 pieces ready. 2 more will be ready shortly.
These parts will be the closest to original you will be able to get. Other repops don't have the embossments that originals had.

Hi Pete, yes I do need it all. A few guys have kindly sent me messages offering individual pieces and other have offered other options.

Individual pieces are all very well but being in the UK the separate postage will add up and be cost prohibitive.
