We have hit our 10 set order mark. I won't be able to contact my guy until early next week to see when he can start the order ...he said he was a slightly behind the other day but was hoping to catch up. This should give any straglers a chance to place an order so I don't have to keep changing the number every day. If he can take the order by the end of next week, I will let everyone know and give out my paypal address to start sending the payments. Please don't send anything until I verify our order placement date....should know by monday or tuesday.

Thanks
Bob



If I can pay with USPS money order, I will add my name to the list for a 5 degree set. Let me know total and delivery address for MO via PM. Thanks.

Well it all looks like a GO! I got the OK from my guy to send the order with a two week turn-around. So here is the deal: I will give the late-comers until Friday 6/08/07 to get their orders in and I will send the order via e-mail after I get home to my machine shop.

For all you guys in the US your cost will be $92.00 / complete set shipped with a second set at only $80.00 or $172.00 / two sets shipped.

You guys splitting a set, the cost will be $50.00 shipped for you 1/2 set shipped to US.

For the Canadians: I believe only Sourmug and twfcars (did I miss anyone?) I will PM you with your costs w/shipping.

Foxgap: we will meet....no shipping needed.

Let the Paypalling begin! Time to send the MO if you already cleared it with me.

Paypal addy is: rjblaze@verizon.net

Thor Bernard........who are you? Are you already on the list?

Bob

Please double check the previous post to see if your order is correct.

I have changed your order in the last post, not a problem at all. I offer sets with both 5 and 10 degree rear brackets due to the personal preference of the individual buyer. I have not been given ANY information that the rear brackets with the 5 degree offset has actually been an improvement. I have sold many sets of each, but no one has said anythingone way or another. The original thread by Will states that the 5 degree bracfkets were an idea but untested. I did not want anyone to buy anything that was untested unless they chose to do so and I made no guarantees that the 5 degree sets were a "fix" to a minor issue. The 10 degree sets were made, tried, and tested to work.

Please remember that a "complete set" includes 2 front and 2 rear (5 or 10 degree) brackets.

Thanks

When you get a shipping price for us Canadians please use USPS as all the couriers charge hefty brokerage fees.

Great minds think alike... or is it that fools seldom differ?

Just to keep everyone updated.

I got an e-mail from my machinist and he said that your brackets have been lasered out and are in line to get the holes threaded. Apparently they had an equipment problem with their laser machine and things got delayed. He says the brackets should hopefully get fifnshed and ready for me to pick up next week.
Sorry for any delay. My guy has usually been very quick in getting these done.

Well, everyone has paid so I doubt anyone will "back out". I have been asked by another PFF'r if I am making another run. All I can say right now is that at least ten people (my machinists requirement for a run) must commit to buying a set. So far I have heard from you and another guy (he is possibly buying from someone who purchased in the second run but is going another route) so that means at least 8 or 9 more requests will be needed for another order. We will see how it goes. Sorry you missed this third run of brackets.

i tried to contact you about a set as well. If we get enough people soon, then I would be interested.

if not, since i am one of those lucky people, that have access to a full machine shop, i will be making a set of my own. I have the CAD drawings coming. i don't know if they are for this improved version, but am not overly concerned as long as they work

in other words, let's get 7-8 more people so i don't have to spend my time in the shop making them myself, haha.
