Topic pretty much says it.
Was UMI the ones that took over making the C5 brackets to bishop specs? If not who tackled the chore? |

Sorry, I've been out with our very own "Crazy Canuck" today and just got in and found this one.
Yes, I purchased the rights to the design from Bob Bishop when he decided to "retire". I've been building the brackets in limited batches through "GP's" here at frrax and they were being sold by speed specialty as well. The product is being built and anodized by the same shops that Bob used and nothing has changed in the design since Bob last produced them. I kept them just as Bob intended and promised Bob that I'd not change specs without his input (if I ever had the urge to do so, which I haven't). Let me know if I can help. Kevin |

Is Speed Specialty actually stocking them? I think they had one set left, but it may be gone by now. Speedspecialty was running GP's on camaroz28.com, but they had a set or so left over from one of the last batches (I don't know if it's gone, I'd think it is by now). |
