Finally got around to fitting the Hi-Viz mast to my C5 today. They're pretty much spot on as-described, the casting is very crisp where it says FRONT and REAR, the outer edges could do with a quick rub down to remove casting flashes, but thats easy enough - I'm very happy with it indeed :)

Wow, that looks great even though I'm bias lol :-) With those pictures they actually look almost identical to my original one that that was moulded from! Thanks for the photos!

The legs on my original Sinclair flag broke about a week ago so I ordered a replacement from Danny. It arrived this morning and I got it fitted. It looks fantastic, closer to the original than I thought it would.

Wow, great photo :-) I'm glad it worked well, the irony is the the darker colour actually blends in with the original poles better than the usual, lighter ones I make which is great! Like I said though, if you do get any problems etc just let me know and I'll pop another in the post.

No problem, I'm really glad you're pleased with it! We've taken them off of sale temporarily now until we do a remould but hopefully next month we'll have them and also going to have a try at centre caps too :-)

Centre caps and indicators would be nice, defo looking for those.

I was watching those unused indicators on ebay and they've just shot up to £137 with 6 days to go.   :o

The guy selling those indicators kits etc is a shrewd cookie, separating the kit up and selling the various items individually will certainly increase the sales price.

This!

Has anyone also seen C5 parts listed on eBay with a link to a website in the pictures? Looks like someone trying to copy C5 Alive.

Seen those, it's a way of using Ebay to advertise the new site set up by dansretropod   ;) Rival sites do come and go , not a problem as I'm sure there's room for more than one c5 website  8)
