I realize that you just recently finished up a GP and shipping on a batch of Bob's brackets, but I'm curious to know if anyone has an ETA on a new GP for the next batch?
What's the price on them when you run one? I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, but I felt that this was probably the best place for it. |

QUOTE (trackbird @ Feb 3 2005, 11:16 PM) I'm not sure that there will be another GP. That's going to be up to Bob. I think he was going back into retirement after the second batch. Maybe he'll drop in here. No more C5 caliper adaptor brackets from me. PERIOD. If you all can come up with 22 more buyers who are willing to pay $500/set for just the brackets, well, still – NO MORE C5 BRACKETS from me. I didn’t make enough money to justify this unless my own interest was still piqued. The challenge for this project is gone; all of the obstacles were overcome. I feel the design is optimized for what it is. Even though I wanted to stop making them after my 5th batch of steel brackets, there was always another change or enhancement to the design or manufacture or material or post treatment that I though of, and wanted to implement. If I tackle brackets for the C6 Z06 front brakes, I will now have a giant head start. Although I would probably go another direction for an adaptor in that application. Thanks for the continuing support. If there is really still demand for the C5 brackets, I might help Trackbird get a local machine shop in his area up to speed on making these this summer. |
