Fabricator

[Dean]

I need someone to fab me up some alloy cooler piping.
Northern suburbs,
the car needs to be towed there so i dont want to fork out 5000 in towing fees.
anyone had any experience with anyone?
I've just given JPC a buzz, awaiting their return call, they said they do that sort of thing, but i know they are flat out.
Possibly looking for a dedicated Fabricator only.
want to try and get the car in and out.

the catch i guess dean is that the uys that do the good work are busy and take time...it sucks really

have you spoken to ERF? but they are in bayswater too

 

[DOUGMO]

Trickfab do awsome lightweight custom piping, but dont have the number on me

Dan (GSRSOL) should have it

 

[Dean]

Their just too far some of them that the problem!

Otherwise ill see how JPC goes

I've got a mate in Kyneton who does great tig welding and fabrication at a very reasonable price, however I'm guessing that's too far to tow the car.

My mate and I got aluminium piping, routed it all out in the car, marked and scribed the ends and then took him the piping to weld together. We then took it all home and fitted it up to the car - easy peesy. Saved a whole heap of cost and mucking around, just took a bit of time routing and marking it properly.

Theres an idea! where abouts did you get the piping from?
reckon you could shoot me this guys details?

I got the piping from Boss Aluminium:

http://www.bossaluminium.com.au/

Take a look at what they have, find out how much etc and if you're happy to consider going ahead with that option. If you are I'll give my mate a call to find out if/when he will be available to do the work. Hardest part for him will be quoting you fairly (not ripping you off, but not losing out with his time) without seeing what work needs to be done.

I'll give you hand planning the piping if you like, that way I can give the details to Simon and he can work out a more accurate cost (rather than guesstimate).

Is the car all togeather and running apart from intercooler piping if just make a U bend out of the turbo to the IUP and drive it there easy cheap and wont harm your engine, for the sake of getting the job done think outside the circle

I got my car towed from springvale to coburg north for $80 by performance towing.

TRIKFAB does AWESOME quality stuff, if you are prepared to wait for it.

 

[Dean]

Nah its not running Wick's.
CBF waiting for Trikfab.

Thanks Shayne, that sounds pretty good.
Please let me know how you go.
