Default Simex

As a final comment on the tyre thing .

Around six months back I emailed SIMEX at their large headquarters , not that far from here actually . I queried them about the ST24's . Response was NIL . Not even the courtesy of a reply in any form .

I have had same responce from paint manufacturers when asking about matt military type paint for auto use . In many cases , these large companies just ignore you totally .

Maybe a in the face type situation would help eg. going to visit them . Many times while trying to find a firm to fold up awkward shaped 2mm panels for my C8 . I was told , oh that will cost thousands , or we don't do one off jobs . In other words they just could not be bothered .

It takes much research and effort to get what you need these days , restoring old trucks is not easy . The old trades are dying out too . How many 16 year olds want to learn a hands on trade these days ? They mostly do IT courses at college .

Go to a panel beater , its a joke , they bolt on plastic grills all day . Repair a damaged guard ! What actually use a hammer and dolly
!

Mike
