I need to get a new zip fitted to my race suit, I have a replacement from Sparco to fit, I was going to use AWS in Kent but they seem to have closed, anyone got any experience of good quality repairers for this type of work ?

(might even get back out there this year if things work out :) )

Jays used to do jobs like this. Don't know if they still do.

Would be great to see you out and about again!

Ask for Vic and mention that I directed you his way.

Get the tummy in the zipsuit to accelerate across the hillclimb start line. :lol: :lol: Or face a steward's penalty for not being secure. :D

I have some fireproof cotton thread . You would need this to stay with the rules.

Had no reply from Corbeau yet, thanks for the offer of the thread, not sure I know anyone with the skills to fit the new zip though, not really something I want to take a chance with :?
