Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Just a follow-up on the discussion about the burnco rear replacement bumper and spare wheel carrier as seen in Leon Park's introductory post:
I wnet to see if I could speak to the guy but he wasn't at home. I did manage some photo's though and on one of them, you can clearly see the Burnco sticker, so I can't see why they need the car to make jigs and stuff...

I have just spoken to Burnco workshop guy and he confirmed that they now have Jigs, ( made last month) So in the not so distant future maybe the Patrol will look different.

Price?

That seems like good news - there appear to be a few guys looking for rear bumpers so surely we can organise something!

How many members are willing and able to purchase a rear bumper; perhaps we can get a nice deal?

I'll be following up with Onca again later this week.

Ek is gewillig en in staat om een te koop. Weet net nie hoe ek hom in Potch gaan kry nie...

Add me for interested

Did he mention a price?

I was give R7,500 for rear bumper, excl vat

R5,500 for double wheel carrier, excl var

about R14,800 incl VAT and labour.

Incidentally, Onca is similar price, although I havent received formal quote.

I've got Sias, Scuba Patrol, who are interested in Onca as well, and also closer to JHB than CPT. JohnDough do you have a preference, or does it come down to price alone?

For transport to JHB speak to King's Transport, they charged me R350 to door-to-door two complete diffs from Jo'burg, so a rear bumper cant be much more. Burnco more than likely will package as well to avoid damage during transport.

No preference really, price is always a good factor- do we have pictures of the Onca version?

Onca dont have pics of a rear bumper fitted to a patrol - they specialise in toyotas and, do a very good job as well. Russ has Onca bumpers so he can provide more insight into the quality.

They will need a patrol to do mark-ups etc, i have a 1998 GU and am willing to have them work on it as the template - as far as I know the shell on all GU station wagon patrols is exactly the same.
