Bantam Spats

Postby KFA » Mon May 03, 2010 7:30 pm

Hi Guys, we have made some spats for the Bantams working for Parks board. We will post the final pic's when we have done the final fit. They fit the larger tyres available for these aircraft. If we have enough interest we will keep in stock to buy of the shelve. Not sure about the price yet but they should be in the region of R1200 each ex factory for the fiberglass bits. Not finished or fitted. If we have to manufacture all the brakets without doing any finishing on the fiberglass we are looking at approx R1500 each. Will the bantam okes posted.

Hi,
Please keep us updated,we have 2 Bantams and a grass runway.Spats will reduce the staining to the fabric.

These spats are made for the wider tyres. We fitted the spats as high as possible to enable rough runway use.

Howzit guys. The spat set (2) will be R3k incl brackets excl VAt and del. Cut outs for fitment over hydrolic calipers and all brackets and bolts included. Only one tone colour. Delivery time - 1-2 weeks depending on paint colours. Fitment is real easy. Normally not more than a couple of minutes per side.
These ones are specifically made for the wider tyre. If somebody is looking for smaller sized spats, we will investigate.
