Still sitting on the fence myself but I was going to call the guy about the possibility of a discount on a couple of kits. Haven't got round to it yet. I can do this tomorrow if you want to hang on, James?

.. and then the Westfield Sports Car Club forum organise a bulk buy of close ratio gearboxes  :-*

Economical Omega or (even more) bonkers Westfield  :-/

Kev, I can definately hang on if we can get a discount.

Are you still up for a joint install?

i wasnt intending on dealing with someone on ebay, however the seller (jeremy) was one of the few who answered all my queries and offered more advice as well that proved to be both accurate and helpful.

Agree Jay, he has been helpful to me too.

It would be fantastic if we can get a reduction.

Kev - don't forget I only need a front end....

I am seriously considering such a kit - if there is a chance of a "group buy" then I would be interested.

OK. Had a chat with Jeremy today and can echo the observations that he is a helpful chap. Talked about the possibility of a bulk buy and he said he normally does a 5% discount for the 2nd kit but if we can get more firmed up he'd see what he could do. Sounds better than nothing.

Made the mistake of opening my bonnet this evening to work out where everything will go :o

Shut it again quick!  :-X

They're not far away from me so if we do go ahead I'm happy to pick the kits up and distribute or we could have a fitting party and get them all together that way. May be worth tacking one or two installs to figure everything out and then have a LPG party for those who are interested where we can gather everything we need in one place and crack on with a few?

Sounds good to me and I think the best way forward would be the LPG party.  This would be especially beneficial for people like me who will needs lots of advice and / or help!

I guess that a "who's interested in a LPG conversion" thread should be started to gauge interest and the amount of kits that are required.

I have shown an interest in Tunnie's Elite (I have always wanted an Elite) but if this does not work out, then I will be up for this.

Out of interest, does anyone have a link for the LPG kit that we are all discussing on e-bay?

I believe the kit is one of these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330170356040

For the really keen here is the manual:

http://www.ac.com.pl/autogaz/programy/pliki/Instruction%20of%20Stag-200,%20Stag-300%20controller.pdf

I will start another thread for expressions of interest in a bulk buy &/OR LPG party.

getting the back end fitting kit is turning into a bit of a nightmare, so i have decided to look at improvising, but before i do this i would like some opinions.....

The tank is 70L the kit i ordered was supposed to be the metal fram with tank straps, now having looked at one in the past all it looks to be is a few lengths of square section tube, welded together to form the base in an oblong and some 16 guage steel that is welded to the fram and will run over the tank and bolt to the base of the frame.

I know that the tank straps cannot sit on the welds on either end of the tank but i can see any other regulations about the tank kit.

Any idea/suggestions, i want to get this kit in ASAP now as this is costing me money in fuel  >:(
