myothercarsa2cv Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Can't help you, but what happened to all of RiF's moulds and techniques when 666 packed up?! Edit - apparently Numax bought 666. Then moved it all to Caithness. Then mothballed that site and made loads of people redundant. Mr Potts moved on to someone unrelated and the trail of RiF's good work disappears. Thanks Numax and Mr Potts ☹️ Edited by - myothercarsa2cv on 11 Mar 2014 18:55:33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I have no idea, but what you've posted could well be right. I know that something like that happened according to Paul Richards. If I can't find a suitable nosecone, then I'm going to have to paint the RiF car, and I don't really want to do that if it can be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Paul Richards Posted March 11, 2014 Area Representative Share Posted March 11, 2014 Peter I think you'll find obtaining RIF nosecone and wings is unlikely. To my knowledge Richard only made a couple of nosecones and wings and some of them are on the pink car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myothercarsa2cv Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I wondered if you'd acquired the V6 beast 🥰 What a lovely car (potentially!) Fingers crossed someone can uncover the moulds etc. The 666 stuff was as good as RiF's (I have a mix of RiF/666 light blocks, close enough to my eye), so it could be done again with the right method. Don't give up just yet 😶🌫️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Paul Richards Posted March 12, 2014 Area Representative Share Posted March 12, 2014 Quoting myothercarsa2cv: The 666 stuff was as good as RiF's I don't think so. 666 made very little as they didn't use the same techniques or machine as RIF. What they did do however was sell all RIFs old stock including those which RIF classed as substandard. I suspect you probably purchased some of those.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted March 12, 2014 Support Team Share Posted March 12, 2014 For wings, it might be worth contacting this business: http://www.mickmadecomposites.co.uk/index.htm as he made some wings for Westfields which look almost identical to my RiF fronts. He doesn't list them on the site but may be persuaded to make some more. You could also try this lot: http://www.carboncactus.co.uk/. The stuff of theirs I've seen was pretty good and they are keen to expand the range. They've done a nose cone. If they develop some wide front wings I might be interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, Edit - not heard of cactus, but Mick Made came up a while ago and no one knew how to get in touch with the guy!

Area Representative bluenose Posted March 12, 2014 Area Representative Share Posted March 12, 2014 As MOCA2CV says how do you get in touch with someone who has no email address on his website I wanted to see if he would make a batch of carbon headlights.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted March 12, 2014 Support Team Share Posted March 12, 2014 Good point - I had forgotten there weren't any contact details. Might be worth a trawl on the Westfield Boardroom as there was a bulk buy on there some time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, No need to cry. You probably have genuine RIF stuff. I have some sub standard RIF stuff and when Richard pointed out the flaw you need a microscope to see it 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myothercarsa2cv Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Not crying that I have RiF stuff, that's great Just crying that his techniques were not preserved ☹️ P.S. Peter - let us know how you get on with Mick and if the quality is good enough to match RiF Edited by - myothercarsa2cv on 13 Mar 2014 13:30:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
