Hello Formula31, that's an interesting retrofit. A forum member who has just purchased a set of the Victory single tabs told me about your project. Do you have pics on OSO somewhere?

No problem BajaDaze.

I almost forgot to post a close-up picture of a Victory tab in red. One of my favourites.

No problem, I'll keep the forum updated.

I've had a lot of enquiries regarding Insta trim tab retrofits as well. I'll be making retrofit/ upgrades for any system as well as another original design I currently have on the back burner.

Is your Sutphen project just a hull at this point? I'm currently at that stage with a 30' Corsa. It has to be gutted. Talk to you later.
