Stainless Steel accessories: Split Rims Racing

[CJ]

I know some of you have met Karl Sheehan before at the Mondello Meet last year, he asked me to let you know that he's branching out with regard to producing stainless steel accessories specifically for the FTO.

As the moment, the following items are in production:

1) Radiator Cowling (mirror finish with logo cutout)
2) Battery Bar (brushed finish with logo cutout)
3) Exhaust cover (brushed finish with logo cutout)
4) Heat Shield (brushed finish with logo cutout)
5) Badges (brushed finish with logo cutout)
6) Din plates (mirror finish with logo cutout)
7) Keyrings (brushed finish with logo cutout)
8 ) Floor mats (brushed finish with logo engraved)
9) Towing eyes (mild steel arm with brushed s/s cover)

You can see some pictures of Karls work at the following URL, more to follow as they become available:

My understanding is that he is looking to prototype the following items:

1) Fusebox cover (mirror finish with logo cutout and engraved)
2) Spoiler (Billet aluminium polished & carbon fibre look aerofoil)
3) Bonnet vent (fiberglass, ready for painting)
4) Replacement brake pad contact plates.
5) Wheel spacer kits (aluminium polished)
6) Speaker mounting plates (Fits any speaker to any door)
7) Some install stuff like made to fit enclosures, etc..

Personally, I welcome any local initiatives in this regard. Its rare that we have people with a business focus on our small community, support them if you can!

I'm not sure what Karls pricing policy is, best to contact him directly for the time being.

well i can vouch for all Karl's stuff, i've seen all this stuff in person and it;s all top quality stuff, none of that crappy thin bendy stuff and a perfect finish every time.

sounds excellent - nothing like some shiny bits that can be removed and transferred to a new FTO should the occassion arise
