Thread: BCC & HRA!

A transfer case/handbrake drum, exhaust pipe guard would be great, a few times I've been worried about ripping the exhaust cross over pipe, or damaging the transfer case.

Second that. Better to protect both than just the handbrake drum like I said.

Thanks Steve. I looked at that but forgot about it again. Have sent them an inquiry.

I'm assuming all this talk about bits and pieces for the P38 supplied by BCC/HRU is the preliminary investigation and deliverable of any items may be a while still?

Thanks Gary!

I deliberately left the lift out to see how long it would take for people to want to add it to the list. It's unfortunate, but I am quite certain there are some legal implications around testing and engineering cert. that need to be met (mainly for satisfying TAC and private insurance purposes) with road going P38's adopting these suspension lifts.

At this point in time, when it eventually does come back to life it will ONLY be sold for Off Road and Competition use. Unless we can gain the appropriate cert's with minimal cost.

Of course, we couldn't be held responsible for where people drive their vehicles after we sell them the upgrades for off road and comp use...

Could we?

That would be my preference too.

If a decent product is out there for a reasonable price then I would not bother putting it high on my "to do" list... especially if its another AULRO'ian. Perhaps we would source/stock their product instead.

YES. BCC have only just started working out a deal on HRA with the PO's.

This thread is really about scoping. The brains trust here at AULRO is always a good source of info and sounding board. Without sounding smarte have a pretty good idea about what we want to do... but it all takes time... and unfortunately that ugly thing called money. We want to have something visible happening within a couple of months, however that is just punting at this very early stage.

The positives are that the HRA PO's (Paul and Andrew) proved it could be done. And different people in the US (like Rock Rover) and the UK (there are quite a few) have really good P38 product ranges selling within their (admittedly larger) markets...

We will do our best anyway... small steps for now.
