Pity , i just ordered (DMGRS) and had fitted an upper arm .

BUT its easy to see why they rust away ( mine apparently from the inside )
The two large ventilation/drain holes can never drain properly ,because the holes have upstanding rims which retain water instead of draining it away . This upstand seems quite large and must retain plenty of water.
So I suggest if you are getting them made , to get these holes punched from the other side , so the rim points down instead of up.
Probably too late now , but another example of masterful maldesign .

They can't be worse than the Indian ones and are priced correctly to sell in volume. I think these and sills are the biggest reason for scrapping these cars now. I suspect they will fly off the shelf, but everyone is feeling the pinch of Christmas comming.

Yes, I’m thinking of pre-ordering a full set, just been too busy trying to sort out the welding on my sills

The time of year isn't ideal - summer is our peak time, so it would have been much better to have this post then.
We just didn't want to make promises until we were absolutely sure they were on the way to us

Just remind me what delivery options you have for when the customer can’t be home to receive parcels? Was it a collection point?

We can do anything that suits you - we have a world of delivery options.
We can deliver to a nearby Parcel Locker for you to collect, a local UPS Access Point (usually corner shops or petrol stations) to grab when you're passing or we can of course send to a place of work / friend / relative as needed.

That is very helpful, thanks, will pre-order later. Currently those options don’t appear on the website. Does it go in the “add a note” bit when ordering?

Yes - just add any requests to the notes and we'll sort it for you.
We also have our new number live - 02380 001133 - Scott is on the other end, and can deal with queries / take payments etc as needed.

Now ordered a set. Wedgie will soon require them. I had a set from your first batch on my other car so have every confidence in this new batch if it is from the same source.

Please note that when i ordered, i added a note about shipping, but during the payment process the note dissappeared, so if you could add it back in From your end it would be appreciated. I will want to use a collection point.
