Carbon Binnacle
Carbon Binnacle
My carbon fetish continues - does anyone know where I can get an S1 carbon binnacle from? I don't want just a cover for the existing one, that doesn't make much sense to me, I want the whole binnacle. All of my other carbon parts are from Elise Shop as the quality is excellent, but they don't seem to do one at all. I know I've seen them before somewhere online but can't for the life of me find them now.
Cheers

Re: Carbon Binnacle
If you have no luck in sourcing one, you could possibly find a motor sports company who would make one up for you.

But I know I've seen them somewhere, as it caught my eye at the time. Damn sure I should've bought it there and then!Dominic wrote:If you have no luck in sourcing one, you could possibly find a motor sports company who would make one up for you.

Fair enough - I know that feeling! May be it is no longer in stock.... You may also find that a friendly carbon fiber maker would be a cheaper option too.jimbo wrote:But I know I've seen them somewhere, as it caught my eye at the time.

Re: Carbon Binnacle
Yeah that's a possibility, I contacted Elise Shop to ask the question but it's not them, though they did say they were in the process of producing some new S1 carbon goodiesDominic wrote:Fair enough - I know that feeling!

There's a company on eBay that have popped up with good looking carbon parts, it may have been them that had it initially. Might drop them an email and see, and if not then like you say they might do it. Just want to make sure that it all matches, as mismatched or crap quality carbon just looks plain wrong. The one thing I can say about the ES stuff is that the quality is great, and it looks expensive!

And bits for space satellites and stuff as well. The carbon bits he has made for his Ultima are just WOW. Far better than the standard factory stuff.chrisdb wrote:http://www.performancecarbon.co.uk/
