Ooooooooh momma, they’re here! The rarest parts of the Tamiya Egress are here, fitted and looking TOTALLY awesome…she’s completed! Well, the chassis is completed, but by the Gods that’s a great feeling, and its taken just over 3 months to do it, fantastic!
So, I’ve had a few mails regarding the BF8 (4305247) & BF9 (4305246) front damper mounts, so before I go on, take a look at the photos’s below, you’ll see my lovely new mounts fitted and looking pretty darn amazing.
Now here comes the big announcement. These mounts have (no surprise) cost me a small fortune, but not for the reasons you think. I decided to take a leap of faith and looked into the feasibility of getting them reproduced at a local steel working company…which turned out to be pricey, but just about doable. The only caveat to that, was that I would need to sell quite a few of them to make my money back. I’m hoping that this isnt going to be toooooooo hard, as I know folks out there really want these, so hopefully I can shift a few sets on eBay and at least cover my costs. As you’ll see that they’re as near as dammit to the originals. There are a couple of microscopic differences to the originals, but I only spot these differences as I have an original set on another Egress to compare them too…and I’m a perfectionist, so I spot everything. But once mounted, man, you’d never know.
Take a look at the comparisons below:
So please bear with me while the rest are made and when they are, I’ll post them up on here with a link to eBay. And dont worry, I’m not going to try and shaft everyone with these, I’m simply going to be asking for £8.99 per pair with free shipping. Which isnt bad to say the originals go for SILLY money when they appear on eBay. I think the last one I saw was just BF8 and it went for over £30!!! Crazy.
