OK guys, get your orders in. Keep in mind, I did not make these because I wanted them...I made them because you wanted them.
Hit me up...holding stock is not good on my wallet, especially when I am jobless.

Any idea on when we should be seeing these arrive? Haven't received mine yet. I know there's a bit of a trip that they have to go through.

How many sets do you have left? Did a lot of people talk the talk but not walk the walk?

I can buy a couple more sets if it'll help the cause. It'd be a shame for people like you to not help the rest of us with getting these parts made because you get stuck with a bunch of extra stock.

All orders have shipped, and should arrive quickly...the orders after August 8th will ship out Monday morning.

As for stock, I have a ton of these things. I had to make a bunch to get the price low enough. The tooling alone was about $500 USD.

Anyway, it looks like I will be stocked of these for a long time.

I installed these last night and got a bit of runtime on them this morning and I must say that I am very impressed! These C's were much easier to install than the stainless C's that I removed. On all of the stainless sets, I always had to open up the hole just slightly to allow the CVD cup to fit through....not the case with these! Anyway, a few pics:

Also, I want to send a thank you to Scott (gba442) for sending me the TLT axle and a few Cs to get some measurements and do my test fitment. His bits helped me out alot, so thanks Scott!

Cheers!

We seem to be having an issue with the Cs where they meet the knuckles. I know they are not a perfect 90 degrees, which would be ideal. Some of them are off by a couple degrees. This will mean that the tabs must be adjusted by you.

One customer has attempted to use a hammer, which has ruined the C. I suggest a vice and 10 seconds of your time.
Has anyone else had this issue, and what did you do to fix it?

Casey

If your not trying to install bearings for your knuckle screws or if the tabs are not off by that much I don't think it will be an issue but if you plan on putting bearings in your C's you will definitely need to straighten the tabs out to a true 90 off the C otherwise your screws will not matchup with the knuckle correctly.

For those who are not planing on putting bearings in these the hole in the tabs are big enough that even with them being out of a true 90 it shouldn't matter much other then a little uneven wear on the heads of your screws and or possibly being a little tight until they wear in
