Hi hedd,
I beleive they are aftermarket accessories for the ruby bulkhead? But my intention is to try fit it into a future special build.
Always good to see stuart and his lad there. Hope you are back in september.
I know I cant give full reasons for prices in one thread, it would be a mile long.
But I bought some bits a month ago from a local club member, there were 2 nice petrol gauges I paid £25 each. ALL OF THE RISK if they work or not is might. They tested ok. And both sold on saterday for £40 each.
I've also been offered some stuff in Kent, I'll have to pay a sensible price. So my money is on the shelf until it sells. If things dont work or are cracked etc ALL OF THE RISK IS MINE. And only a small amount of what is bought is good quality, I'll have to pay the £120 in durv to get there and back.
So I really dont see were prices are high.
What I think the real problem is here, is people see prices on the day they buy a seven. And dont think they should ever go up.
It looks like john came into sevens in 2002, so in his mind his expectancy of what prices should be are 20 years out of date.
Were the reality is it's not just YOUR gas and electric bill that went up by 50% last month. Or even YOUR petrol/durv bill that has risen by 60p a littre in a month. Its everyone's.
EVERY business in the country has just been hit with that, and like myself they are left with the choice, PUT PRICES UP or if you feel you cant sell at a higher price. STOP MAKING IT ALTOGETHER.
For 50% of what I make, it's the latter choose of the two.
This is why, when I picked up the ulster engines block earlier. I wasnt complaining about the cost. I was overly thankful those business are still there in the seven world. Giving prompt quality and service.
