I guarantee you that CNC charges are easily going to exceed the costs I have already incurred designing the current pieces. As far as "a few hours", sure. If they had all the pertinent measurements and the Datum point that I used to make all of them then they probably could. But those brackets will still cost you. I also considered a solid piece of metal. However, the weight of the bracket would then be twice what it is now and cost more, at least in the beginning.


You know what, I'm already irritated with a few of these posts.
Funny how people are jumping out the woodwork and can build these things all of a sudden. Where were these geniuses 2+ darn years ago when I first posed the question as to whether this could be done? Exactly. If someone else builds their own design and call it easy and cheap, then I'll listen to them then...maybe. Some people who had the skill were not interested in doing it. I got that and I have no problem with it.
Look at the post date on the sticky at the top of the brake forum.

Realistically, no one wanted to expend the effort, and they STILL don't want to expend the effort either. I did.
I didn't even need these front brakes and I went ahead and finished the design.
Now, I'm ready to just scrap it. I don't need the money if you are wondering, and I definitely DON'T need the headaches. This is why I THOUGHT Stazi might be willing to handle the kit side of things but I don't wish the nightmare on him either.
Besides, you can get bigger front brakes; the FSVT kit will only cost you a tad under $500.....for just the fronts.
I'm pretty frigging busy anyway.

War, don't let anyone rain on your parade! What you and Demon have been able to do is badazz! I know I would be let down if your brake mod didn't see kit form, atleast in a limited run!

Please War, say it ain't so! I don't wanna throw down the cash for a TCE or Baer kit!

I am on Tom's side.

But Tom...there are so many people on this site...especially lately who don't know a thing...claim all this crap and then never show up. Don't let that disappoint you!!!!

Although at the same time...I do understand...I mean you don't even have a contour anymore.

I still appreciate everything you have helped me with and inspired me to do!!!!

Great I guess I will have to stick with the stock brakes. I was really looking foward to getting bigger brakes and keeping my E1's.

I don't think the few people trying to intervene are anywhere near the amount of people who are looking forward to your kit. Please don't get discouraged by them.

Well there will always be someone that thinks they can do it better, the key word being "thinks" in theory only. I say ignore the "keyboard fabricators". You have made it happen and put together a solid product that 99% of the people on CEG could not replicate.

Many times the most complicated problem requires a very simple solution; the genius is the one that can spot that solution amongst the cloud of confusion.

If it means anything I am a serious buyer.

Tom did you really expect any thing less from the CEG?
