Gauging interest in a Group buy for a GT Mechanical headlight Kit , it would be fabricated from Original GT parts. As soon as I have an idea on how many are interested the vendor can come up wiyh a cost, thanks.

I don't have a horse in this race, but the shocks should be the easy part. 30 minutes on the McMaster Carr website should be the end of that problem. I have seen shocks that worked perfectly for this application. I have a set of them sitting in my "future projects" area.

I spoke with Steve yesterday, and as you guys know he already has a unit asembiled to test the shocks. I have already sourced a strut that I think will work(15lbs./pressure).

He told me he is trying to get to it asap, but he is very busy. he promised me he will get to it because he has a lot of time any money in this project.

I know you heard this before be a little more patient.

I would hope that the list would be followed. Early on I got a call from Steve about this and was told to hold my money for a little while. Turns out I am not even on the list to get one from the first batch. Missed it by 2 or three people.

For those who may not want to wait - or - not on the first list...

Mittlemotor has a kit.

http://www.mittelmotor.de/webshop/englisch/suche.html

Part No. 0,08980 is the GT headlight kit. It think it is 399.00 euros ( about $510.00 US)

No pic on the website, but I emailed them and got this one...


Attached Image

Update:

Price to US (minus VAT) is 335.29 euro ($429.00 US +/-) plus 49.00 euro (62.60 US) shipping.

Comes with "T" handle for dash mount (not shown.)

Hi John,

We're entering into the third "year" on this.

I'm sure I speak for all when I say we appreciate your efforts on putting this together and we really appreciate that Steve has gone the extra mile to arrange the parts for this kit.

I hope my preface shows the true gratitude at which I approach this. That being said; do you think we can get some resolution on this? No mallice, just wondering if we should look elsewhere.

I committed and I'm still in. (Mainly to support a member who committed to complete them.) But an update about the status is still warranted.

I spoke with Steve this morning, and he told if the test on the strut he just got we should be a go, finally. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
