Hi Guy,

I am sure the other 'guys' are just fooling with you. I for one am just glad that you and your team have the technical knowledge, facilities and the commitment to produce a wide (and hopefully growing) range of panels for the M151 series.
My own A2 (ex-ROPS) will definitely need fender tops and the fender supports and just knowing they are out there gives me confidence that my decision to go for a Mutt as a hobby MV was the right one.

Now Guy, your talents seem limitless, is there anything you can do about the dollar - pound sterling exchange rate?

Good luck to you and CMD

You rock! Your dedication to the MUTT and our hobby is outstanding. Fil of course is just kidding, what you have done using your knowledge and expertise will guarantee that more MUTTs will survive for future generations to enjoy. You can believe me I'm saving my dough to buy all the sheet metal I need for my restoration from you.
Thanks again for your dedication!!!

No worries men. I've known Fil and Rick long enough to know when they are joking around. Nothing wrong with having some fun!

This is what we came up with for the rear fender support ribs. This was a major PIA but here it is. I'll now go through and update the other versions with this change. The rib basically splits the difference between the 3 models. This took way longer than expected but I'm happy with the outcome as it's a good part for what it is. This also makes for a very stiff part for what the original design is.

Guy, you are certainly doing more than your fair share by sharing this process with us. When you speak of "tooling" could you be more specific as to the process or share a picture or two of some of your stamping processes (provided there is one)? I have an idea as to how the process works but I'd certainly like to see more.

When we run the production quantities I'll see if I can get some pictures of the tooling involved in making this part.

Vecause good high quality parts that are made correctly cost quite a bit more. Thats how it SHOULD be, so not complaining a bit.
