Im now ready to start a group buy for Blobeye reverse scoops. Its something Ive been working on for a while now, and after lots of testing and "tweaks" here and there, I feel that I can offer a group buy.
This is the progress thread.

Big Fud has one of the scoops on his MLRsprint car seen here.

I hope he will give some feedback on here regarding its performance.
Drawings, designs, done by a designer of a well known racing team.


First mould, (please excuse the bedcovers)

First cast, just in grp and slats roughly cut out..

2nd cast and more testing.


Primed, painted and yet more testing.



I ended up with 4 blue scoops, here`s 3 of um..



These are fixed with nylon nuts and self gripping washers, onto nylon thread secured to the underside of the scoop. My scoop has been on the car for 2 winters, through 8"s of snow, rain, etc etc and Ive had no problems whatsoever. The view out of the windscreen is nice, and there is now no bonnet lift at 70mph....
Im looking to produce 10 of these scoops. I also have 2 WRblue test scoops (another one had to be cut up during testing) Somebody has expressed an interest in the older of the blue scoops, but the other is available now.
Im looking to see if there is enough interest to go ahead and produce 10, so I would be looking for a deposit first and then a final payment when the scoops are ready. I will be doing a fair chunk of the process, so I intend to supply first come, first served.
Im selling them for £120 each. Postage would be £13, or collection (anytime) is welcome.
Im happy to answer any questions, and if your interested please put you name forward.
Cheers
Managed to get a better deal with my GRP man today, and I can now offer these for £120. These were £145, but he is now prepared to do these one at a time, but used as "fill in" work, so Ive agreed that he can have "some time" to produce them as and when I require one. What I intend to do is get another one ordered as and when I sell one. Postage is still £13 each

 

Well done looks really good & sturdy
If it was for a Hawk I'd be sooo interested
Good luck with sales

 

I'll take one if you can post to Perth WA?

 

Can't see why not, though it might be a bit more than £8. I'll find out about postage and get back to you...

 

Great work! Again, I'd be after a hawk one.

 

Delivery to Perth WA is anywhere between £30 and £90 dependant on type of service, ie is it tracked, insured, recorded delivery, and speed of delivery. I`ll leave it with you to think over...

 

Ive got one of these and they are amazing bits of kit,Well worth the cost and also bring's your'e act down.

 

Cheers Fud. If your able to print out and/or download any graphs showing before and after act temps, that would be interesting to see. Ah, the wonders of syvecs ecu`s,,,,, thanks again.

 

I'm back in UK in July for 7 days, will they be ready by then? I'll take it back with me on the plane

 

I`ll get one ready for you, yes.

 

One of the blue "test" scoops has sold. One left, ready to post.

 

2nd blue scoop sold. Thanks...

 

PM sent...

Add me to the list for one please

Graeme

 

Just sold my last spare one, but I will order some more to be made up, and as soon as I have one ready, I will let you know.. Are you in any rush for one?
cheers, Cliff

 

No immediate rush here.

I am away to work for 2 weeks tomorrow then home for 3 weeks after that.
Car is going in for my roof flap to be fitted and some paintwork on the 18th of this month. If vent is not ready no big deal, it can get painted and fitted later

Graeme

 

Alrighty, was wondering how your buddy is getting on with these?

Graeme

 

Afternoon.
Sorry about the delay. Just been busy with work and the kids. Yes, I've just about got some more ready now. Drop me a pm with details of postal address and I will get one out to you.
Thanks for your patience.
Cliff

 

great news cheers!!

 

Thanks for payment. I've PM`d you, and your scoop will be on its way to you tomorrow

 

I've got one left from my last batch I had made. If anybody is interested, just drop me a pm.....

 

Last one has sold. I will get 3 or 4 more made up over December. Will try and do them before Christmas, in case anyone wants to treat themselves to a pressie...

 

Any chance of a classic item buddy.

pm me.

 

Will be interested for a blue one for my blobeye when you get some more made up

 

I may have a look at doing a classic scoop in the new year matey. I need to get my hands on a bonnet first, and then have a chat with the design technician.

Posted the last one off today, but put a call into the grp firm, and he will try and do some more for me soon. Drop me a pm if your after one. I supply them just in primer I'm afraid,,not painted.

 

If you need bonnet i have pleanty down here just come grab one

 

Can I have the one off your 22b. It might be easier if you leave it on the car and I just borrow the car for a few weeks.....
