Outstanding customer service. You even get free tea if you call in and see them! :D

I've been a visitor to MetalMonkeys in person for various items and aspects of help with my Deli and I can only say good things about the quality of goods produced. To say that Bruce is meticulous would be an understatement.

For those of us that want that little bit extra, or something that little bit better then this is the place to go. And I for one will continue wholeheartedly supporting MetalMonkeys as long as the commitment to produce high quality aftermarket goods continues. . . . . and the free tea of course!

Don't forget too, that Bruce is taking a bold step in his new venture, and making a business of a passion that he has for design and engineering.

Also remember that he is one of us after all. Show your support and if you need anything then ask him. If he isn't doing it yet, he might do. If he won't do it then he'll tell you the best places to find things.

Good luck Bruce . . .

I whole heartedly agree with macpingu,i have bought several items from Bruce in the past, stainless mirror arms, which he fitted for me at no extra cost. Dash kit using his easy to follow instructions,and loads of tea

Now he has started his new company, i have ordered several other items from him, which will no dought be to his high standards

He is the most accomadating person i have ever met,his products are superb,made to the highest spec available and definately value for money

So go on give him your support you won't be disappointed

All the best for the future Bruce

Just received my 'Terzo tart up' kit from Metal Monkeys and I'm well chuffed with not only the sheer quality of the well packaged, faithfully produced item but also the unprecedented level of service/customer care.

The kit was supplied (rather remarkably and gratefully received) with FULL fitting instructions and when coupled with the prompt and extremely curteous responses regarding forthcoming items, added up to a confident and very satisfying purchase. A purchase that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. I'm certain that if he could have squirted a nice cup of tea and few biccies down the phone he would have done Wink

Thank you MM.

What more can I say a part from fantastic service and the quality of the parts are out of this world, I have got stainless steel mirror arms and dash kit see picture (sorry it is not a very good picture but the only one I had)

And stainless steel door panels see picture

And some other parts yet to be fitted in time for meet in the middle, also some more parts on order but one of the best things has to be being able to get custom one off parts made as well, what more can I say but keep up the good work Bruce. Wink

Top marks for Metal Monkeys !

Bruce has produced some fab goodies for our Deli's and has even more in the pipe line Smile

His attention to detail is unreal, as anyone who has seen his Deli will vouch for.

I would recomend anyone who looking for Great Deli add ons to make Metal Monkeys their first port of call. 8)

I Just have to add to the great feedback the MetalMonkeys has been getting.

The Stainless-steel mirror arms that I bought off of them have been fantastic.

As you can see from the photo below, they really needed replacing.

Thanks bruce for fabricating and supplying some great stuff for the Deli.

Keep up the great work. :D

Not one to vote and keep my comments to myself, so here goes.

I bought from Bruce a set of door panels in stainless steel, 1 stainless steel foot rest cover and stainless steel mirror arms.

Cannot fault any of it. Professionally made to a very very high standard.
Service is A1 and better and NOTHING was too much trouble for Bruce.

Definately going to be a very regular customer.

Cheers Bruce

I am now the proud owner,of a L300 Delica with a fitted Metal Monkey 3"lift kit. :D
So i would like to take this opportunity to thank Bruce for everything he has done for me.He has supervised this project from start to finnish, answering all my questions without hesitation,always updating me on the progress of the installation no matter how small.The various parts that form this kit,are manufactured to a very high standard and quality as you would expect from the Metal Monkey Stable.
If you are thinking about having a lift,then i would look no further than Bruce,his ability, standards,quality,enthusiasm, personality,and customer care are second to none.
I for one have total confidence in anything that Metal Monkey has to offer in custom parts.

So from one proud owner A VERY BIG THANKYOU BRUCE :D :D :D :D
