Guess what was waiting when I got home?

These brackets look great. For sure are going to need painted or powdercoated, I think I'll go paint them right now.

Soon. I've had it on my car for what, almost a week? I have one or 2 small adjustments I'd like to make for the production brackets, so I'd say in about 2 weeks.

Yeah, I want to know what's going on with these too. I've got car shows comming up starting at the end of the month. I wanted to have this new origonal part which also keeps my engine from bouncing off the firewall.

*starts getting rowdy*

also, my address is changing tomorrow. I'll send you a PM.

Sorry guys, not much to update on.

1. They work great, mine is still on, still working fine.

2. It rattles at certain RPM's, but I don't really understand the "preloading" instructions, and that would probably get rid of the rattle.

3. The brackets are NOT as thick as the ones NRG sends with it's kits. I'm concerned that, because of how thin they are, they could flex if you have enough power and hit your timing belt/sprocket.

4. The guy that designed and made the brackets has not returned any emails for about 2 weeks now. Iknow he just broke his leg, but I cannot contact him. I'll keep trying.

5. I'm a bit concerned with the proximity of this to the cruise control assembly. I need to contact the designer/maker of these to see if he can verify that it'll be okay.

Other than that, that's it. None will be sold, obviously, till all concerns are taken care of. DTN, I tried selling your Weapon R on NT for a few weeks, and no one bought it. It's being sent out to your address as of tonight, so you can deal with it how you want and we will be even on that item.

Sorry guys, it's going to be done RIGHT.
