rear wheel arch

Post by timmyK » Wed Aug 26, 2009 10:53 pm

Sorry to cover this again, I know some have been ordered for BFury, but does anyone know the ETA in the UK and/or likely cost of a nearside rear wheel arch. Alternatively where I might be able to pick up a SH half decent one...

I'm doing some work on the beast before I pass her on and move out to new zealand and am trying to locate one...

any help much appreciated...

Hi Timmy, pending the club shop getting hold of some, ring around your local bongo dealers, they may just have a breaker that you can take an angle grinder to... £30-40? [-o<

These should be arriving in the shop any time now, they are still "at sea". The price will be £140 per pair for non-members, £135 per pair for members. Price includes shipping & VAT. More details to follow.

lovely news Ian...

are they only going to be sold in pairs?

it's just my nearside that's taken a bashing over the years - guess I could always resell the DS arch though, so no biggy...

Yes, they will only be sold in pairs as they are a slightly different shape than original panels.

Good luck with the wheel arches.When you get here (new zealand) bongos are cheap, no one apart from the rental companies value them as they are not a toyota, so you should have no problems finding a replacement.If you need anything when you move over dsrop me a line;where about are you going to settle over here?

well I'm heading to Gisbourne first - I've got some work lined up at the Rhythm and Vines festival if you've heard of it...? Then just take it from there... My backrounds in events work, so will try and tap into that industry... The Bongo has proved to be the perfect festival vehicle for me, far more practical than a Hilux or a Land Rover...

I used to live in NZ many years ago when I was still a boy, so I'm looking forward to heading back...

Where are you based?
