Broken the zip on my racesuit
Today i've been a bit of a spanner. Midrace in my Club100 karting race I was getting suited up for our driver change and I ripped a few of the zipper bits off!
Luckily I was able to blag one of the hire suits off the organisers to carry on but its mightily annoying all the same. Its a non expensive karting suit so i'm not out of pocket by much, but was wondering if I can get it fixed for cheaper than a new one. Kev |

Doubt it Kev! Unless you can find yourself a little seamstress in the Yellow Pages. Changing a zip's actually quite a big job in a race suit.
Best bet is trawl the small ads in your local newsagent window for someone dressmaking from home. |

Bust the zip on my racesuit (must have shrunk over winter!) took it to Sainsburys dry cleaning dept and they put a zip in for £19.Bit of a deal I thought.

Don't forget that when you have to replace a zip on a Nomex suit, it should be done with the special fire resistant threads.
AWS don't ask that much either to replace a zip and it's done with the proper materials. |

Does Nick still work on other brands? Last I heard he didn't want to.

Don't know Max, this was more for people with one of his suits.
