Captain Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I need two new outriggers for my Mk3 GT6 chassis. Outriggers from Rimmer's cost £46 + Vat each. Canleys sell them at £58 + Vat each. Does anyone know why there is a £12 + vat difference (£24 + Vat per pair)? Do Canley's use better quality steel (thicker gauge)? Is the quality better?........or isn't there any difference at all (except the price)? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I'm interested in this as I got an advisory about an outrigger on a recent MOT. My experience is that Canleys are often cheaper than Rimmers, on common parts. However, I had to replace my servo, Rimmers was £102, Canleys, £157 for a supposedly identical item. I got the Rimmers but had a few problems with it, the build quality was poor and I suspect their offerings are from different sources. Probably the same with the outriggers.

AidanT Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hi Try giving Fitchetts a call or try Paddocks - Better price plus I have not had anything of poor quality from either Paddocks also have SteelCraft ones which I am told are good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I was wrong so apologies for misleading anyone or doing anyone a disservice. Canleys inc Vat are £58.15 Rimmers inc Vat are £56.00 and James Paddock are £51.00 So not much difference between Canleys and Rimmers but Paddocks are a few quid chaper.
