When I spoke with the guy, he said he would up the order number if more were placed. If you have a friend here, have them call anyway. Its a small market for these, and he went to "break even" mode.

When I spoke to Steve for Air Cooled Racing (717-432-4116) this past tues. he said he spoke to you and your order was in as well as mine and 2 others, and that was it! The thread was posted here as well as the former club site.

Pretty sad when there was 31 members the replied to the thread and stated they wanted the Kits. The price was based on that quantity, hoprfully Steve will be able to hold that cost.

At this point he will only be making 12 Kits total so when their gone their gone! So anyone else who wants one call him direct at 717-432-4116 no email orders.

Eric & Ian, thanks for the support. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


After getting a heads up PM from Eric, I too ordered a set. Had a great conversation with Steve. Nice guy and very knowledgeable.

Sometimes theses threads go waaay off topic, and I hadn't checked in for a while. My guess, given my personal experience, is that out of the 31 members who expressed interest, that only 5 - 7 will actually order some.

He may make up to 20 or 25 kits, so if you still want one call.

It's Saturday. He's there right now!

Matt - my original emails were bounced back so I phoned Steve & ordered the kits.

He gave me his direct email address which is:

Well... I did well with the GT Handles. I think only one person bailed. These things are hard to predict.

To be fair to the people, a few of them did say sub $200 or $300 range. Also, a lot of people needed to be informed that this was still alive.

Now... to expect a project like this at sub $200-$300 is a bit unrealistic as well.

This should be a fantastic buy at a great price. Many thanks to John and Steve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Thanks for the Kudos Eric! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Steve is a Great Guy , to offer to take his Real GT apart to fabricate parts for us is HUGH!! I don't think there are many owners would do that.

I spoke to him Friday and he is going to try to email me pics of the proto-type installed. I will post them as soon as I get them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here are some pics from yesterday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Eric,

Thanks for the heads-up..I called Steve a few weeks back and ordered 2 sets-
One for me and a friend.
Again, thank you!

PS Been out of sight for a while- good to be back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

I spoke with Steve last week. The parts were still in the "plating" stage. I'll try to give him a call today.

Thanks Eric - can you ask him if it's OK to do it via e-mail? I'm never around at a time I could phone, plus as I think I mentioned above I'm far too tight to place a trans-atlantic call (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
