mantadoc Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Jacking point, easy, floor around it harder. Replacement is covered in one of the links in my signature. I used to get these imported for £17.35 each, last price due to exchange rate was £26 plus. Think was still better than others but did have a month lead time. Not done a group buy in a while. Think credit crunch scared everyone off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith1200 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Not as cheap as MD's group buys but there is one or two companies cheaper than Dr manta. Links and comments of suppliers are listed in members area. Failing that, try doing a google search. GL Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantadoc Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 According to google just now exchange rates are as below, course you may not be able to get these rates, dunno how it works exactly. Jacking points are 45 euro = £39.97 Carriage (if unchanged) 24 euro = £21.32 Comes to about £101.26 Plus bank transfer fee as they don't do cards of about £17 One thing about Dr Manta though, he is very quick and reliable.

Seem to remember Stradacab set up a route to get the Klokker ones but it dried up. Was this it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantadoc Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Good to know, don't think you'll get them for £20 though (unless already on the shelf) as I was getting them for £17 back then, then they went up hugely! Definitely worth a try though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Jacking point, easy, floor around it harder. This was what I found - my jacking points were fine but the floor above them was toast. I didn't cut the rot back far enough and ended up chasing holes in thin steel for a long time when it came to welding in a repair panel. Very very frustrating! Make sure you chop the floor right back but be warned there are a multiple of curves as it rises to meet the sill and A post that can be tricky to get right. If you use thick sound deadening it shouldn't look or feel too bad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
