Bellypan

Hello all,

Recently got this fibreglass bellypan from a friend but without fixing brackets.
Anybody know what 'make' it is so i can contact the manufacturer and get the brackets sorted.

Many thanks in advance,

Trev.

Just got a reply back from Pyramid about the brackets for the bellypan,Â£117.25 total.....

I cannot believe that price,Â£92.43 plus vat plus Â£8.95 carriage!!!!

My next question is can anyone help me with pictures,dimensions etc so i can get some made up,i cannot afford that price,so i've got to try some other way, or possibly someone with a set to get a price for some copies and i pay them. Open to suggestions.

I look forward to some happy news gentlemen,please?!?!

Thanks Trev.

Squiffy---I may need some advice on zipties!!!

They have to be taking the pi**!

I will dig around and see if i can find the instructions or the pictures 'cos there is no way you should be paying that for a couple of rods of steel. I am sure that between us we can come up with the dimensions and stuff.

Hi Trev i still have a couple of fairing brackets that you might be able to use PM me your address and i`ll post them on but i only have 3 i think other than that you could go to B& Q and get a pack of bracket that you can cut and bend to shape

Are you sure they haven't just quoted you for a new bellypan?

That sounds stupidly expensive

This is a copy of the e-mail sent to me:

DEAR SIR,

SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN REPLYING, I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO GET THE PRICE OF THE KIT, I HOPE YOU ARE SITTING DOWN, THE ACTUAL COST OF THE FITTING KIT IS Â£92.43 + VAT AND + Â£8.95 CARRIAGE ( Â£117.25 IN TOTAL), I ALWAYS KNEW IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF BRACKETRY, BUT DID NOT REALISE IT WAS THAT BAD.

IF YOU BOUGHT THIS ITEM RECENTLY I WOULD CONTACT THE SELLER AND GET THEM TO DOUBLE CHECK THEY DO NOT HAVE THE KIT LYING AROUND SOME WHERE.

IF THAT DOES NOT WORK LET ME KNOW, I COULD DO YOU AN UNPAINTED ONE COMPLETE FOR Â£158.94 DELIVERED TO A UK ADDRESS, THEN YOU STICK THE OTHER ONE ON E-BAY MINUS THE BRACKETS.

As you can see this suggests a new unpainted bellypan can be had for Â£41.69. which is totally dis-proportionate to the cost of the brackets.

STRANGE.
