Tailgate catch that allows you to open if from the inside easily.
Gearbox oilling plates.

Stuff that just landed that we were out of.
Powerflex rack mounts
AVO long rear dampers.
Mirror glass for electric mirrors.
TDI input shafts.

Stuff we can get to order
BFG tyres, turn around depends on size.

Stuff due any minute
T3 syncro CV joint protectors
14" Outer CV boots

Stuff on order that's taking a little while
16" front outer CV boots (production run of 50 pieces in mid June I am advised)

Stuff in the pipe line [still]
T3 syncro front coil over dampers, a batch of dampers on order, CNC drawings half done for the spring seat but machine shop are between machines, new CNC machine due in next few weeks, once new machine is in we can get on with making ball joint spacers, spring seats andrear spacers for the springs.
Also in the seriously thinking about stage are longer radius rods for late T3 syncro to allow correct castor adjustment.

Tailgate catch that allows you to open if from the inside easily Long overdue!
"Once new machine is in we can get on with making ball joint spacers, spring seats andrear spacers for the springs" You know where I am...need the work...do you need a back-up supplier?

Very Nice

What a good idea the rear door opener is. We are lay here wild camping in the Brecon beacons at the moment and the mrs thinks it could be a usefull fire escape device as well as being able to let loads of air without getting out of bed in the hot weather of the continant. Since the syncro 25 event I think I have finally broke her and now she has an interest in syncros

Jeez - a 2.1 AFM!! Now there's something you don't see everyday! This van is going to bankrupt me!

Syncro 25 was my other half's first camping experience and she loved it, but has been off roading before in the van and loved that too.

Now she is asking questions, making suggestions and getting ideas ........... this might be dangerous! Be careful Jed!

Do these tailgate locks have any compatability issues with central locking?

Hope not! I thought that the tailgate c/l is connected by a "stirrup" thingy (which sometimes falls off) so isn't directly connected to the lock. That's why the tailgate isn't a master lock.

Helen is fairly interested in syncros.....but there's still lots of other things to argue about!!!
