Titanium

Hello you all!

A little bird told me that another Midas owner (other than D.M.) has been buying titanium components for his Mk3 red convertible. Come on own up, tell us all about it?

Like a moth to a flame....

It's a guy in Cornwall who posts on the Metro Owners Forum, I understand he's a contact of Alan D.

There are some more on the way from China in about a month. Ralph's a friend of mine we have collaborated on a few bits and pieces. I've got to find some 14mm tube nuts today and post them to him, so he can copy them in Ti.. His quest is to have the lightest V8 Metro! He's even doing Ti ball ends for tailgate gas struts, dedication!

Yes, Rich there is no hiding place, I've flushed out the people with the Ti fetish!
