Does anyone know if there is a manufacturer that makes an ali nosecose for the book chassis (for a realistic price)

I don't know of any manufacturers, but any of the Cobra ally body manufacturers would be the first place to look.

What is a reasonable price? I think it would take a craftsman about 2 days to make assuming he already has a hardwood plug of the nosecone, I would think £500 would be reasonable for a bespoke item

in that case, how long would an accurate plug take to make, or if someone can supply a wooden plug for me to have a play with.....

only interested as it would be different

Chris,

Someone on here already has one

Took them about two IIRC

I have read about the other one on the forum, but have not seen any pictures as yet.

Would look good in ali, but is the extra blood, sweat, tears and expense worth it when I could by one from £50 in GRP

I think Chrisg's is aluminium but it's painted. Fibreglass painted silver would be easier. C@terham used to do one but it would not be locost.

yours, Pete.

Yep, I made mine in ali but painted it to fit in with my colour scheme.

or

because it took six months and still had to have a "skim"

You decide

Cheers

Chris

thanks for all your comments, the ali idea has been thrown out of the window. GRP is the winner
