Take an unpaid slot right now...
Take an unpaid slot right now...
You can take an unpaid slot right now. Anyone without a paid next to their name on the last list is now open to replacement. Deposits or full pays accepted.
Those are the slots right there except for one extra set that is spoken for. There will be no other kits and right now I have no intention of doing this again.

Same list as earlier, unpaid slots now open
Same list as earlier, unpaid slots now open
Like I said, there are unpaid slots open on the bottom for those who want in, now is the time.
Once I take delivery of parts and I find out what I have left over, I'll sell off the remainder.

Updated picture for your rear brake instructions
Updated picture for your rear brake instructions
Here is a better picture of the rear bracket and what needs to be thinned out, courtesy DemonSVT.
I've updated the rear instructions with this pic in the right spot so those of you hosting could you please take the updated copy and host it?
I will also post it here so we can generate any discussion about what actually needs to be done and make it easier and simpler to understand.
As you can see the inside area or cutout where the rotor fits is not Square; rather it's wider at the top and tapers inward toward the rotor face. So the first step is to square these tapers up.
The second step is to thin out the crossbar section...this is what the chop saw method was ideal for, just use it to apply slight sideward and outward cutting pressure and it will widen easily.
You can do it with various die-grinder and/or dremel cutting bits it just takes a bit more time.
Wear gloves if you can and safety glasses.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES FOR ANY OF THIS WORK!!!
Personal true story:
I've learned the hard way in the past when I was grinding and got about three little pieces of hot metal stuck to my right eyeball. Little pieces of hot steel that were essentially melted when they came off the grinder cooled and solidified on my eye. I could even see one of them, foggy looking in normal sight...and it didn't really hurt much when they hit only a little later.
Try sitting in the hospital with you eye numbed and head fixed in placel as a doctor uses a large size hypodermic needle to try and pluck the pieces stuck to your eye off. I could stare out the room down the hall and as he hooked the needle under the edge of the piece of metal the whole eyeball would distort and my vision would look like that magnifying bubble screensaver they used to have, everything curved and distorted.
Later on it really really hurt..... So take this for what it's worth, I still have my sight but I might not have.

Oh, the custom spacers are now complete, I'm going to pick those up this morning. Bracketry is taking longer, probably due to shop workload. I don't expect them before middle of next week at the earliest but I'll push to see if I can't get it sooner. I'll know more on that when the fabricator calls me back.

Okay, bolt hardware should be in by Friday, or perhaps Monday of next week.
The estimate on the bracketry is looking like the end of the week as well.
As I said the spacers are already done.
Please bear with me as these are only estimates and I'm working with 2 different vendors on the bolt hardware as well as the fabricator.

I'm still waiting on my first check from my new job. Should be next week. I haven't asked them about the exact date yet since I don't want to be that guy.
BTW are you selling it at a discount since it is second hand?
