Hey Alex, I just sent you an e-mail. Anybody else keen for a group buy/combined shipping?

I don't have any official group buys going right now, but shoot me an email at wilhelmraceworks@gmail.com and I can give you a deal anyway. And of course, if two people are close and want to combine shipping we can do that as well.

If another group buy happens for these kits I'd be in for one.

OK, this all took a little longer than expected, but I just picked up the machined parts from the anodizer, and that was the last thing I was waiting on. So, kits are now ready to ship.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to do any combined shipping on these. Each kit is a little over 10lb without any packaging, and the max weight for the shipping method I use is 20lb. So two kits in one box would put us over the limit. So shipping will be a flat 63 USD for everyone.

As I said previously, the group buy price will be good through the end of the year. Including shipping, the total is 603 USD. Please send payments in USD, if you send it in AUD and I have to do the conversion on my end I get hit extra hard on the paypal fees (it charges the fee before the conversion). Paypal address is wilhelmraceworks@gmail.com. Please be sure to include shipping address with your payment, and let me know if you need the short or long rear tie rods.

An update on the schedule for you guys:

I talked to my machinist on Monday and he just had a couple more parts to run, I imagine they will be done any day now. Anodizing is usually pretty quick, sometimes only a few days.

The one potential holdup is the tie rod brackets. I welded up a batch of them on Monday and dropped them off to be powdercoated the next day. However, the powder coaters often take 2-3 weeks. That said, I still have two sets of brackets from my last production run, so I will be able to ship the first two orders as soon as I get the machined parts back from anodizing.

One of those is of course Lucas. Looks like Timbo is the other one from Canberra, so if you guys want me to try to combine shipping (no guarantee, but I will do what I can), then I will need payment from you next.

As for the rest, I will keep this price for you guys through the end of the year.

Alex’s new kits (with small improvements) ......

Just wondering what the small improvements you're referring to are?

A couple of minor things.

One, a better rod end for the front tie rod. I have never been totally impressed by the QA1 rod ends that I was using, but it was the only high misalignment option I had found that wasn't $50 each. But now there is another option that I like a lot better.

Two, a new bushing for the rear tie rod where it attaches to the cross member. I had a somewhat complicated combination of spacers and washers to enable me to use all standard parts there, but again, I was never really happy with it. This will reduce the overall part count a little and make installation easier and hopefully more intuitive.

Seems like a very in depth kit built on lots of research and very cheap as is. While I'd love to purchase some my funds don't allow it. Registering interest in this thread though so I can come back to purchase another time.

Thanks!
