Bunch of PM's and PPs this weekend. Ill update the list.

I have 5 sets ready to ship tomorrow. It hink theres 3 more on the list.

Looks like im down to the final 10 ish available after that rubber wise.

Im hoping some of the guys that have received these will post and attest on just how cool they are in person

Im going to alumilite tomorrow to check my pricing etc. It looks like the new price, once the big batch of rubber is gone, will be $90 shipped once im only doing 3 at a time. This is because it will cost me a LOT more to buy the rubber in small quantities.

Thanks, again for all the support. It really means alot to me.

Thanks again.

3 PM's were never returned, that means that I have enough for about 7-8 instead of 3-4 (have to allot for failures).

Im going to try to run out the remaining sets this weekend.

Thanks again for the interest, and making this what I think, a great success!.

PS: The rubber knees are even MORE impressive

The rubber knees are even MORE impressive

Tease!

 

[Stormrider]

No, this is a tease. This is before one more coat of primer and a good wet sanding, then silicone.

If you see funny spots, its where the primer hasnt been sanded and the light reflects funny. Because these thingsa re actually really smooth

Tease!

V nice Mason...
Qn - how would one bolt the knee darts to these?

 

[Stormrider]

It depends on your knee darts. The rubber is a little harder than car tire rubber.

There is a 'hollow recess' behind the knee dart section.

You can drill this with a nice sharp drill bit. Any threaded bolt will then stay in it.

At least half the bolt will be visible within the recess.

The problem is that everyone has a different bolting system. And different sized darts.

I have done a couple things here to try to facilitate it.

The recess in rear, the indentation so its 'flush' to the front. The hardness of the rubber, and I have wished upon a star.

Personally I will drill through the front, and drill into the recess.

Ill 'press' epoxy into the spot I drill in the back, and thread my darts through the front.

The epoxy will harden on the threads, be able to be 'threaded out' but will not release un-intended.

They wont fall off, and they wont tear out that way. A nut could be used also, but that will require a little more precise hollowing out.

If you have plastic knee darts, they will bond to this rubber with glue. You just have to flush out the indentation as deep/shallow as you want it.

The last of the paid orders have shipped out. Please remember to post when you get them. I just want to make sure that any problems are addressed.

If you have been waiting for more than 5 days and you are in the states, or 14 days out of the states (except e-checks those just cleared tuesday) please contact me so I can make sure I didnt miss you.

 

[mckenic]

Woo Hoo!

Came home from Uni today to a nice shiny package waiting for me! THANKS a MILLION mate - these are STUNNING! If you think the weathering and details are sharp in the pics - woah!!! In person the kit is amazing! It really is very detailed and impressive... I'd buy these after seeing them even if I didnt have a bucket!

Thanks Mason - you certainly have a fan here!

[Stormrider]
