Ok, most of our members here know that I build the trackbrackets C5 conversion brackets for 4th gen F-bodies. This kit was originally the Bob Bishop conversion kit, but I bought the rights from Bob (who is no longer affiliated with this product) and am building them to his standards at the same shop that perfected this manufacturing process. I would like to do a batch of either 11 or 22 sets. I'll make some phone calls to get a firm price on this batch (I have to verify the cost of aluminum). We sold the last batch for $279 on the GP and $299 after that (shipped to your door). I'll post a firm price as soon as I get it. But it should be close to the last batch.

If you're interested, please post in this thread. Once we get enough buyers lined up, I'll start collecting money and hope to deliver them within 6 weeks (depending on my shop schedule) from that time. Just in time for spring mod season.

Thanks!

Kevin

EDIT: 01-25-06

I've verified the prices with my shop and have the final totals. I've managed to work out a deal that allows me to reduce the price slightly (but the materials, hardware and processes are not changing, they will be identical to the batches that were done before these).

If we sell 11 sets = $279 per set (Plus shipping)
If we sell 22 sets = $269 per set (Plus shipping)

I get a slight discount for a larger order and I'll pass the savings along.

Dang it, it's not nice to dangle carrots like that while I'm still trying to stop the bleeding! However, I think my rotors are telling me that my new calipers are spreading again. I need to tuck a set of these brackets away for the next brake job.

I would like to get the black anodized parts with the anodized bolt holes. If that describes both the latest batch and Wayno's brackets I don't care which set I buy; otherwise I'd prefer to take your extra set if it's for sale, Kevin.

I'm not sure which set Wayno has (I forget when he got them). The batch before this was black anodized, before that they were clear anodized ("silver" appearance). The new ones are a "military grey", not black, but not the clear (I was supposed to get clear this time again, but I really like the new color, it has a purposeful look).

Grey is fine. Which batches got the anodized bolt holes?

The last ones and the current batch. It was the last change Bob and I made to the design when I took over production. We opened up the bolt holes a couple thousandths (to allow for the anodizing to build up the surface) and anodized through the holes instead of masking them off. So, black or grey will have the anodized bolt holes.

I can't remember the color but I believe they are gray.I got mine from the last GP from Bob

That was the last batch before the change. Not to worry, Bob built "tons" of them that way and they work just fine. It was just a change we considered when I took over (it also saves a bit of money for anodizing since they don't have to mask anything off, so everyone wins).
