reproduction rubber
« on: February 03, 2010, 07:23:58 pm »
G day guys,

I seen in a vmx mag recently a place doing reproduction rubber parts, and they like to copy and make new parts from NOS parts.
I cant for the life of me find the bloody ad. Im sure it was in the back of the latest vmx.

I read the thread on 4robs and thats tragic, i guess im after someone who does what he did.

thanks for any help.

so is 4Robs definately dead & buried?  A massive loss.

Who/What are the alternates today, around the country?

Whatever happened to 4robs - I chucked in a spot when the hat was going around and we haven't a whisper from him since?

I kinda thought the same thing, Dave. From what I heard, quite a bit of money got sent their way.
I wasn't expecting a full page advert thanking everyone, but I never heard a single thing either.  ???

That said, I don't knows what his circumstances were/are, so it might not be fair to judge.

edit: I have heard since that he and his family are doing ok, so that's the main thing.  :)
