You know Don is right . Harrisons have that flare off the rear-guards that RMC's do not have. I have photos here that show stoneguards on Harrisons and they have to cover that extra lip to look/function correctly. The stoneguards actually kink back out to cover that raised lip. Would also make them more expensive to manufacture than say RMC ones.

I've also been looking at stoneguard options. Been looking into stick-on black plastic material.

Les, I meant to ask, what is happening in 3 months time? Have you some news.

[Rebel1]

Craig, the revamp of my RMC should be finished by then ....chrissy at the latest.

Been a long and difficult haul. Interupted by a heap of stuff beyond my control.

Then I'll be looking at local RMC's with imported knock off wheels to see how well the wheels fit .

Would be earlier if I didn't work 80 hour weeks and could find suitably qualified staff.

Craig, meant to respond to your stone guard question.

I got mine from RMC if you're looking for stainless ones.

[quote=spookypt;766432]Hey all.... A looooong shot! I need a pair of stone gaurds (rear gaurd deflector) for my Harrison. I have spoken to Don at SNAKEBITE but his maker is no longer doing them and he is yet to find anyone else who does.

He is so busy with other stuff.......

I need some!!!!!

Does anyone have any sitting on their shelf that they don't need for a while!!! It poo's me that I can only source this part from one supplier.... SB don't have any and can't tell me when they might!!!

Any alternatives................ quickly!!

Can anyone help????? (I'll bet ya's all a carton knowone can!!!)

Any competent panel beater should fabricate a set.

I replicated a right hand in aluminium as it was damaged.

My sample was the LHS and my Cobra is RMC Series 3.

They are not available. The guy in WA has the buck for them but it would take too much work and time and money to roll them he told me. I had some excellent spats made up for $150 locally. They are edged and backed to not damage the pain and fit perfectly and attach to the hood posts (double post on each side). See earlier thread on Spats for other info.

You can also get the clear film ones from Ozishield.

It says thay are for Dax but I used thme on my CR and they work a treat.

You might want to look at some of the vinyl wrapping films that are out there now. 3M 1080 film comes in a heap of different colors and finishes. It looks pretty easy to cut and apply to a small area like a stone guard.

Looks pretty easy to apply.



This is something I've been considering for a while to finish the whole car in.

In the Street Machine magazine issue that beejay's cobra was in the cover car was an XY which had been wrapped. Also a friend who runs a custom paint shop has a 'wrap guy' who does cars, bonnets, stripes and whatever else you can think of..... Some splats I would imagine would be no dramas.

I saw that same article and it got me interested in the idea. I've been taliking with a couple of wrap specialists about a few ideas. One bloke who seems pretty good to me has had a matt black Camaro in a recent issue of Street Machine. He's done some amazing work on other cars.

He recently wrapped a Top Doorslammer 55 Chev to look like an old barn find rusted car.

Amazing what they can do with this technology now.

The OziShield and VentureShield are quite good and I had the latter type earlier. They can be quite tricky to fit perfectly over the compound curves around the rear wheel arch, particularly on the Harrison which also has lip around the edge. When they become pock-marked from stones, you need to be very careful removing them, as chunks of paint can come as well if you are don't prepare well and go very slowly.

[Merv and Sharon]

There was also a Porsche 911 done a few years ago in silver. The film is flexible but is it tough enough to take the stones our cars throw up on the rear wheel arches?
