70HONEYMONSTER Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Looking Good . Did you make the side panels yourself or was it farmed out? Have only got one for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels v Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 And I could use two engine panels as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggyjohn Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Engine side panels made by a local company, do not come with the spring catches and cost £120.00 each. Edited May 21, 2016 by ruggyjohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 That sounds very reasonable. On another supply question where did you get the winch rope from? I need to get a reel for mine at some point. And good to see that the amazon has gone to a good home. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scammell4199 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 John, What thickness timber did you use for your cab floor? Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggyjohn Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 hi edd, winch rope came of ebay, bought a nearly full drum and got 2 full lengths of rope of for my pioneer and a friend who has 3 pioneers, there is some cable left over but not the whole 440 feet you need for the pioneer, i would estimate about 200 feet left from memory but would need to check that.

Edd Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thanks. Sounds like a good buy. I'll keep an eye out ebay for a reel, I've got two Pioneers to do so a big reel would be good. Cheers Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70HONEYMONSTER Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Hi John, Were the side panels made off of templates or drawings . I only need one. Would the local firm be able to make 1 from there records or would I need to make a template? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can have one made for you and use mine as a template, which side do you need as they are not the same. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
