I have a pair of Bob's brackets here still sitting in the box. These are from the first to last batch he ever did. I remember it took Kevin a lot of persuading to get him to make these for us. It was shortly after FRRAX.com was formed. Anyway, correct me if I am wrong but didn't Kevin start having these produced by someone else with permission from Bob? Really I am just trying to figure out what mine are worth. They are sitting here in the box and have never been installed. I don't think I will ever get around to it. I simply don't have the money for the rest of the parts. I'd like to set a fair price but have nothing to gauge that. If memory serves me they were nearly $300 when I purchased them. That was years ago now though. Thanks guys.

Are these the steel or aluminum?
Kevin got more made with permission from Bob, but the later ones were aluminum. I sold a steel set a while back for like $225 I think... |

Is Kevin out of the trackbracket business? Bock No. The design is now being manufactured (same materials and specs/drawings, etc) by Hotpart. They own the design, we have them in stock and I am a dealer. I can now sell them to you for less money and we keep them in stock. Everyone wins, which is why I made the change. |

So the answer is "No" - Kevin is not out of the business, and "Yes" - I did miss something.... Bock (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
