Default New Durga shell

Right chaps - need some help on this one.

I've been in touch with Keith Dowsett who runs Kamtec and keeps me supplied with Mardave banger shells. Now Kamtec also do some replica lexan buggy shells (check them on eBay) for a decent (read realistic) price.

Now with Durga shells seeming to be either rarer than hens teeth, stupidly expensive, or both, I explained to Keith that there is a ready market for a Kamtec produced Durga shell as the DB-01 is such a popular chassis right now.

Keith has said to me that he will happily produce a replica shell - but he needs a new uncut one to make a master from. If anyone has one that they would be willing to loan to Kamtec - and you'll get it back undamaged with a suitable reward - please can you PM me and I'll put you in touch with Keith (all round good egg).

And the best part.........Keith reckons on about £13 for the Kamtec shell.

Over to you guys. Someone must have one waiting to be painted that they can lend out for a week or 2?

Cheers,

Dave.

That's great news, however, a shell based on the Baldre would be better in my opinion. It follows the chassis more closely so offers better weather protection.

I'm sure Keith would be able to make some subtle changes if that's what the masses wanted. Just need blank shell from someone......

The Baldre shell surely looks nasty compared to the slinky Durga! Hope someone can come up with a new one
