Anyone know of a decent Plastics Manufaturer in the South ? by MG Autos (Mark) on Tue Nov 23, 2010 2:53 pm
As the title really.

Does anyone know of a decent Plastics Manufacturer in the South East ?
I am currently on the look out for a new company to produce my Coil Spring (amongst a few other parts) spacers as the current firm I have been using have proved to be a bit hit & miss with their delivery times. I.E. the initial order that I placed with them nearly 6 months ago, that was supposed to be compleated within 10 days of placing the order, has only just been compleated :shock: and after the lengthy wait, I did'nt even get a discount

So if anyone knows of or works for somone reliable and competively priced, I'd love to hear from you. :D

Ideally I'd like to get my next order placed before the 4th of Jan to avoid the VAT rise.

Straying a bit here I know Mark, but without giving away trade secrets, are they injected/moulded to shape or are they machined from purchased lengths of plastic?
Reason I ask is that I've got a mate with a lathe if that helps.

Thanks guy's.

have replied to PM's and re quantitys I have to date placed orders in batches of 100 units i.e. 50 pairs at a time, as any more than that represents to bigger investment for me unfortunately but based on current sale's figures, projected figures I'd be looking at 300 - 400 units over the next 12 months so roughly 100 units every quarter.
