to make the tub you just need the material, dimensions and a sheet metal bender that can take the dimensions required. Can't recall if you need the spot welder.
Yes Mike B had the ability at Geelong road to do it but that location is now a set on units.
i wonder how much the materials would cost i have never looked into it. i dont have the machine to make it anyway but i am interested in the material cost. has anyone on here made any panels?
Really ! I was there about a year ago .Quote:

hehe - can't really blame him - there is no door to that shed! It gets a bit chilly... but, yes, I have seen his workshop and the various dies and bits he has made for the work - and, of course, I have seen the finished product on his 1948 S1...Quote:

Why did I dragged this thread kicking and screaming back into the light of day?
I want to repair the fire wall and make a few other parts for my series one collection, using copies of the original blueprints.
Some time ago I did read that the collection of those blueprints were kept here in Australia, in turn were scanned onto a CD and then it was taken back to the UK.
What is the chance of obtaining a copy of that CD and does anyone know anything about it or is it all hush stuff?
