411/412 bespoke wing beading

Post by type3 » 5th April 2011 - 9:10am

Hi all, What was the name of that guy at the AGM that had a small batch run of 411/412 wing beading made? He's mentioned it the last couple of years. Does anyone know his name or the name of the company that he used?

Cheers.

I think it was Chris Sturgeon, and the company was somewhere in Birmingham, according to the notes I have.

I don't have an email or phone number for him unfortunately.

If you do track him down can you post up his details as I need to get wing beading for my 411 variant.

Thanks in advance

Check out these pages:

They have very similar T-profile beading that is used on type 4's. The beadign is available in black, white and silver, but you can panit them any colour you wish as the beading is made of plastic that doesn't reject paint.

Cheers guys, it's actually the company I'm interested in as they could do small batches of any colour extrusions. Cheers for the link though Lahti, that looks to be useful. :)

Thanks.
