    Have you tried Martin at spyderriders.net.au? Just checked his site and they are listed:

    They've been out of production for a while now. There have been some homegrown approaches to these: perhaps someone in here can give you some tips on an excellent "DIY" project.
    Good Luck!

    No worries, thought you probably had but thought it was worth checking.

    Hi wtwing15,

    Re: I am trying to get a set of shock re-locators

    About the only option right now would be to try & get the production drawings from PitBull and then maybe see if someone down there could make a set for you.

    I know a local, retired machinist so I might contact PitBull about the drawings.

    Hi wtwing15, have you sent any messages to those 'machinist' types around Aus who already do some of this sort of stuff?? Sure, they might not (currently) actually produce any shock re-locators atm, but I'm pretty sure the skills & experience are there to make a pretty good fist of them, & it could be that they just need someone to make the request.... possibly someone like Tripod, Rabbit (wespyd) or Merlot, just to name a few amongst a bunch of others who are reasonably active on the Oz Spyder Forums who might be able to help - surely it can't hurt to ask?!? G'waaan, you know you should!!

    Hi thanks for the response
    Each and everyone you mentioned are personal friends of mine and i have talked to many of them about what i wanted but without accurate planes of the design they said it would be very time consuming and expensive,

    I had a specialist CNC machining company ready to look at the project but without an example to copy they can do nothing for a reasonable price.
