HI!... I'm in desperate need of a driver's "STAY" for a Tamiya Renault 5 Turbo I'm restoring. It's basically a small metal bracket that holds the driver up inside the body.

Small bracket on back of driver in this pic :

Your best bet is to make your own from thin sheet metal. I have looked myself high and low for one.....

HI!... Well I'm going for all original on this shelf queen. Plus to fabricate one exactly the same, I would need one to copy.

yeah I do understand and that would be my wish too; been looking for a long time myself and my driver sits in box. But others have said they made one. I guess you could always have someone trace one on paper and then you could cut and bend one for a place marker until the holy grail comes about.

HI!... I found a guy a few months ago that had 6 of them NIP. But the guy was in a dream world for price. He wanted $100(U.S) each for them plus shipping. Needless to say he got told where to go.

Believe me he will probably get it from someone. Too bad he wouldn't deal. What is the most you have paid for one single part. That would be a good topic question???

Enjoy,

HI!... Well I found a guy who has a NIP Renault 5 Turbo front bumper (black). He's in the same dream land. About $140(CAN) it would cost me to get it here.

I did buy a Renault 5 Turbo driver spru a week ago and it cost me $55(CAN). That's probably the most I have ever spent on a driver. lol! Then as usually one showed up on Ebay 3 days later and went for $12.

Yeah you can get that sprue off of the re-release Renault 5; I believe I got one from JR-RC for like 8 bucks. Too bad they don't have a rere bracket too. I have wasted beacoup money on the early Tamiya cars but they are my spice so how can that be all that bad. If it was easy to get this stuff it wouldn't be fun.
