Cheapest = DIY. Material costs for a hood are around £100 retail from a trimming place you normally see at the shows (I forget their name). You could probably get it for half of that if you find a shop that sells that material for some other non-car purpose* (boot awning for example) Second cheapest is to find a decent sewing place and take your old hood and ask them to copy it, price around £100 labour + £100 material. You'll need to work a little magic on persuading them, but it can be done. The orginal supplier was about 25% difference from Quantum. I arranged us a bulk buy and we got it a bit cheaper again. However since then the prices have met somewhat in the middle. (I'm not sure if Quantum dropped their prices or the other way around) Final option - grab a kit car magazine and phone the trimmers in your area or ones you are willing to travel too. With crunchy credit and christmas coming up and the natural drop in people wanting cars trimmed you might find a bargain somewhere, however you need to put the effort in and use your best haggling skills. Yes I am available to haggle on your behalf, guranteed lower price than Quantum, all yours for a for a 25% non refundable deposit. final Final option - repair the old one. Matthew *A big big chain from one of the bike suppliers cost £150. I took the picture to a lock smith and asked him for something similar, slightly heavier duty £50 and I even got him to throw in a 'free' 3rd key. He also warned me not to loose the keys as that was one lock he needed an angle grinder to get through. the moral - find somewhere that sells it for a slightly different purpose without the premium price, be nice and ask them for the best offer they can do. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
