TR Tim Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Does anyone have experience of the replacement chassis available through Rimmers? It is made in the UK by Britparts and considerably cheaper than the CTM option. I am considering buying one and would welcome any comments from anyone who has used one. Equally if you have used another option I haven't mentioned and can recommend it please let me know. Many thanks Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave McDonald Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 There was a thread on the Forum around 3 months ago (but I can't find it) about a Rimmers new chassis where the front main diff bridge had the semi circular recess incorrectly located in the centre causing problems with the diff fitting. Not a good recommendation. Dave McD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roy53 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Did we not hear from Colin that he was still in business but moved it to France ? or wishful thinking on my part ? Roy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roy Yes I believe he is, might be a tad expensive carriage though, not sure if he is still contactable through the original CTM email though. Stuart.

ianc Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 And Revington is now producing chassis for all TR models. Saw Colin at the 50th celebrations - not sure he has yet re-started production in France, but said he was intending to do so. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

elclem1 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I think Colin isn’t far from me, I do come over with an empty car trailer from time so could carry a couple to deliver in the uk? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

elclem1 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Could be a little tricky now with brexit happening tomorrow I may need paperwork to accompany and goods brought to the UK! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

71tr6 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I believe Mark (FlyingEnglishMen on eBay) may have one. I saw a Perfect chassis at his place when I collected an eBay purchase from him. I thought was a new CTM chassis or a nos one as it couldn’t be faulted. He told me it was off an Arizona 76 TR6 that had been on the road for a few years then stored. NFI in the chassis. I would have been in the market if I hadn’t already brought a ctm chassis.

MJP Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Colin is going to start remanufacturing the chassis from his place in France. I went to see him back in October 2019 before he moved out of his premises. The chassis is a very nice product and you won't go wrong. I am still debating on ordering a new one and emailed him two weeks ago. He stated he will be setting up the tooling etc shortly and will be producing in the not too distant future. You will though need to provide him the front turrets of your existing chassis. Thanks, M. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
