roy53 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Has anyone tried the replacement panels ? I see that they vary in price between suppliers so wonder in quality. Rimmers have 2, one handmade . £250 and £350. Moss£300 Have been told poor fitting and a lot of cutting and welding required to make fit. Wondered if Bastuck made this part as there outer wings seem a good fit. Views please Roy Edited October 29, 2023 by roy53 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Replies re the Baskuck and hand made Rimmers ones may be interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roy53 Posted October 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I have found that Bastuck do sell these panels. But as Mike posted they will not send to UK . Would like to know from the eu members if these fit well? Roy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Boyd Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Roy, We have fitted several sets of the Bastuck ones, they are a good fit!! Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

qkingston Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 I had understood that some of the UK retailers are selling Bastuck panels, TR Shop eg David Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is this the fallout from Brexit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenda Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 As above, I had a price and delivery cost to the uk, and when I went to order the part they told me they could only sent to a company, I looked at this as we can order this through our company but I felt that they were asking to meany questions about the company. I have just purchased a new wing from another supplier and it is the same colour as the Bastuck one so others could be getting them from Bastuck, it’s also looking a good on first fit.

stuart Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) TR Shop supply the Bastuck panels as do TRGB and others. I suspect the problem with them supplying to individuals is the new VAT rules on import/export.. FWIW Be careful welding in the Bastuck panels as theyre High carbon steel and dont take well to MIG welding. Stuart. Edited November 1, 2023 by stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elclem1 Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 These inner panels were delivered no paint on them so i had to etch prime them for the journey to France, I asked moss why and they relied "as they came from the supplier." Definately not bastuck ones they normally come in a beige colour I think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s correct Stuart, Companies can defer their VAT on imports, individuals have to pay. Also Customs will clear goods through an official business to business transaction with charges as per the agreed Brexit schedule rate. For individuals it gets much more complex and costly, with many items delayed by weeks/ months. This of course being a Brexit Benefit. :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
