Hi Everyone. My name is Noel Sargent and I am the website editor for SOCTFL. You can access the site from the SOC site by going to the members area and selecting the 'SOCTFL Members Home page from the drop down menu. From there you access pages that include articles, committee meting minutes and more.
However, having read the responses to Julian's post I will post on here future articles if you feel the this will be helpful in keeping you inform about SOCTFL's activities and the parts that have been produced using SOCTFL tooling.
For example:
Triumph Stag Original Quality Parts
The Stag Owners Club Tooling Fund Ltd (SOCTFL) is a company limited by guarantee that is owned by the members of the Stag Owners Club. Its
mission is to assist in the development of quality parts that are no longer available or are difficult to source.
Managed by a group of volunteer Directors and Committee members with extensive experience of automative engineering. Working in conjunction with manufacturers and suppliers, they are able to assist with the design and production of tooling that ensure the parts conform to original specifications. As a result purchasers of parts bearing the SOCTFL logo can be assured that they are fit for purpose and will fit well.
Most recently SOCTFL have collaborated with manufacturers and suppliers of two plastic products. The projects involved many hours of CAD development by a committee member with years of experience to enable the tooling to be made. Tooling that is owned by SOCTFL.
As with all SOCTFL projects a manufacturer and main supplier also needed to be found and contracts agreed.
The first such product is the chrome plated door handle bowls. They come as a kit including two bowls, two gaskets, fixing bolts and fitting instruction. To date over 500 sets have been sold. Available from E.J..
Wards, £96.00 retail. SOCTFL negotiated a 20% discount for SOC members for this product.
The second product is the chrome plated Air Intake Grill. Available from Robsport International, £199.99 retail. SOCTFL negotiated a 25% discount for SOC members for this product.
Both products really enhance the appearance of the car.
Another recently introduced product is the Flocked Window Channel Seal. Made to the original profile this seal is a perfect fit and ensure the smooth running of the widow with no annoying rattles. Available from Robsport International, £24.00 retail. SOCTFL negotiated a 20% discount for SOC members for this product.
Together with many other parts such as body panels, seal and gaskets it is well worth seeking out the SOCTFL versions. After all SOCTFL is all about keeping the Triumph Stag on the road for many year to come.
There are photographs of each products mention in this article on the website but I have yet to work out how to post photos here.
Please let me know you thoughts about posting future article here.
All the best, Noel
