Crash Bars - anyone? - Page 2

gwowzer · 12-27-2020, 12:12 PM

I'm just curious to see if it is possible to have them shipped to me. Unfortunately the language barrier is a difficulty for me to inquire.

As being possible, it is. But the price would be deal breaker.
The whole set (left and right side) is around 107 usd, i don't know how much does a smith charge in the US.

TheChairman · 12-27-2020, 08:31 PM

$107 is cheap.

The shipping to the US, assuming the seller is even willing, will probably cost more than that.

gwowzer · 12-27-2020, 09:58 PM

Yes, $107 is cheap. I contacted a seller in Argentina today on FaceBook to see if he could send them to me. He said he didn't know if he could export.
He is supposed to reply after he investigates a little.

Which that brings me to an interesting proposal. I see WildDog is from Argentina. How much would you mind me shipping me the packages if they were shipped to you? I would make it worth your while lol.

I would say that a reputable tune shop probably charges somewhere in the $65-80 dollar an hour range just for labor. Plus add in material purchase for the tune steel, plus the design aspect. The measurements would be tough to replicate without having one on hand. So I could see it easily adding up to $300-500 dollars to have a set custom built from scratch.
I would say with a full set at $107 and shipping at equal to or even a little more than that, well worth paying for having it shipped to you.

This. We have a winner. Even if the shipping was another $100, it would still be a lot cheaper than paying somebody to fabricate something for you.

I bet you could find them on Aliexpress if you could figure out what to search for , their site is more than a little wonky with search words and results.

Wild Dog · 12-28-2020, 02:32 PM

I did an inquiry with the Correo Argentino (just like USPS but Argentine). Shipping the crash bar to the US should be around 120 USD.
https://www.correoargentino.com.ar/s...nacional-aerea

So i guess that bars plus shipping should be around 230 usd.
Show me facebook link, so i can have a chat with the seller. I still think it is somewhat expensive just for some tubular steel, but if the price is right.

So that is the person I briefly spoke with about possibly shipping to me. I have not heard back yet.

I also found another website, from a company in Argentina, that carries slightly different side supports. I did not see engine guards offered on their website.

https://www.ronlaiver.com/en/galerias/zanella-en/

And then, the original website that dakotakid posted seems to carry both engine guards and side supports, so seems could be ordered from there and then shipped.
Appreciate all the checking, Wild Dog.

Those are not the same as the one from the early picture. Those are aftermarket ones for Zanella.

This are the OEM, in fact they are being sold by the same company Zanella.

I am trying to find the OEM Chinese manufacturer of them too, but no luck so far. Product number 236-80015-PAR

That product # is for Zanella internal part order. Zanella mostly if not exclusively sells rebranded Lifan products. My Zanella was a Lifan Chasis with a Lifan Engine.

On their ML website, they say those crash bars are chinese made i have my doubt because i never saw them in aliexpress nor alibaba.

gwowzer · 12-29-2020, 10:42 PM

Right, but either way, those on the ML website are correct ones we are talking about, right?
I know the RonLaiver ones were different, but should still bolt to the standard frame.
The MercadoLibre should be the correct ones, though.

Any updates on these!?!? I got myself a tbr7 and wonder if they’d fit on it.
