I just got back Stateside, and am going to pick up the materials I need as soon as I get rid of some of this jet lag. Hopefully I will be have a few parts turned out and will post pictures of my progress here.
Now would be a great time for the first 5 on the list to either put a deposit of $20, or prepay your order.

There are a few sets ready to be shipped. A few less than I anticipated.
The setback was I decided to make the rears a two piece rather than three. After I built a couple sets the three piece way, I just couldnt stand to send them out. I think it is better this way. less parts to fumble around with when trying to realign the cradle. That process is frustrating enough.
On top of that My supplier is backordered for the material to complete more orders with the new design. They will have the material in Wednesday, and more sets will be done by the weekend.
I have pictures of the ones I made, but i have yet to figure out how to post pictures.
they look great, if anyone has a link to pics of these or similar products installed (specifically the rear ones) i would be appreciative. i've heard the rears are super easy though. thanks
the shipping was so fast that they were here before i knew it, and im in CANADA!
thanks again, i hope my 3800 doesn't shake my teeth loose now.

For the fronts: they are deisigned to go shoulders to the outside of the cradle, so you will be pushing them from the outside towards the middle of the cradle.
For the rears: You will take bushing with the large shoulder and the two flats and slide it through the bottom of the cradle, and then slip the doughtnut part over it on the top side of the cradle.

I don;t know how tight the rear two parts fit together but I have a set of Darrel Morse mounts and I RTV'd them to the cradle just to hold them in place. Made installing the cradle in the car a lot easier since the bottom part was not trying to fall off all the time.
didnt make them fit tight in the rears. I remember fighting with that cradle when trying to reinstall it into the car, so I made them have room to move around. If you RTV them then you wont be able to use this advantage.
The Morse ones are a good fit into the rear but can still fall out. I guess you could install them then RTV them in place for next time because you know there will be a next time
The original price was 80.00, but because payapl is hijacking me, It will be 85.00. That was with shipping to the lower states. Canadian shipping will be extra.
