It might be a couple of weeks still before these are actually shipping to you guys, but I promise I'm working on it as quickly as I can. Thanks for all the interest. I hope you can wait for the upgrade. :)

Fantastic!:bigthumb: All I need to install mine, are the centering rings. Please let me know asap a price for one set (2) rings. I bought my Powerslot 350Z 'Track' rotors from Les Schwab, and the re-manufactured calipers from Schucks(already had the cores) I think I'm going to try the 'Yellow-Stuff' pads with them.

Haha thanks for the encouragement!

And so you guys know I'm serious, here's an email I just recieved from my machinist:

Hey Collin

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, it has been hectic around here the last few weeks.
I lost my phone otherwise I would give you a call. I received the brackets and I am in the process of pricing material and overall cost. I am exploring a couple different options to try and keep price down. I might have the basic shape cut on a water-jet and we would do the final machine work. I should have my new phone in a day or two and I will give you a ring.
Thanks

Working with him is great as he takes the time to experiment and find the best and most cost-effective way to get the job done. I'll keep you guys posted.

Thanks again for all the interest guys. I'll try not to dissapoint!

Collin

no update yet??????????

aaaaahhhhhhhhh, i want this

I apologize that this is taking so long, but I assure you all that I haven't given up yet. My machinist is having difficulties drawing the complex half-circle type designs of the brackets into CAD and we're exploring other design options to speed up production time and cut cost.

I'll keep you guys updated. I don't expect this to take much longer.

Brackets are ready to go. I just need to get some centering rings done up.

I need a final show of hands for who wants a pair of brackets and rings. Once I have a number, I'll pm you all with exact pricing, and then we'll go from there.

Actually this is a good idea as I too have lost touch with the scope of this ENTIRE project....so please recap but be thorough with all the details of what's being produced and what other requirements will be needed, etc....

Whoever decide to do this please take your time replying and be thorough with it.....Thanks.
