Yeti Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Can anyone give me an idea what a replacement nose cone costs? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Give Tom Carlin of Birkin USA a call. Very easy to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hi Yeti - because Wemtd's post seems to have disappeared, he was asking what year/model of Birkin as it will make a difference in cost/time/difficulty getting a replacement. He has a nice paper mache nose cone that he used temporarily while he waited a year or two until Birkin supplied new one to replace his broken one. He still worked with Tom Carlin to get one. Hi Paul (Wemtd) - thanks for the PM on the disappearing post but I could not respond to you as your mailbox is full and I can no longer send messages to you.

Yeti Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 It is listed as a 2001 S3. But I saw in MityMikes post that it might really be a 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemtd Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 That's likely the older style nosecone Oh... And don't throw out your old one for 6 months. Something will always come up and you'll want to refer to your old part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbox56 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 It would be an older style, they are not in stock but can be ordered. $207.50 Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Thanks Tom. That seems pretty reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96fvee Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 yeti, just a quess , but have you looked at the newer car's (Birkin) nose with the small turn signals built into it? looks nice and would solve one of the problems on the list. bill c.

Yeti Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 No I have not looked at it. Not even sure that they are interchangeable. But it certainly is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
