Nigel Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Can I still get in on this current group buy. I just saw the thread now and I am very interested. Thanks Unfortunately, I'm all sold out. I had some extras made up, but they've already been claimed. I hope to do this again in the future, but I can't promise how soon that will be. I'd like to have some feedback from the current group first. If I do this again, hopefully it'll go a little faster now that I have all of the logistics worked out.

EF Ian Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 When you do run it again I'll see if anyone from the UK would be interested. I'd like to get a handbrake cable to have as a spare aswel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 $15 PRICE DROP! After reviewing my production costs, I've decided that in addition to including the centering rings at no extra charge, I'm also going to drop the kit price by $15. So, the kits are now $310 for the first 10, and $335 thereafter. I'm serious about this kit having a future, so I'd like to make the pricing as competitive as possible. I'd like to drop the price more, but paypal fees will eat a few dollars, and I would like to make some profit after all the work that has gone into this Regardless, I am certain that for a rear disk conversion that includes a functioning parking brake, you will find nothing better than this conversion without spending well over $1000! KyleG, since you've already paid cash, I'll refund you the $15 when I mail you the fasteners. EF Ian, if I (hopefully) do another production run, I'll cut you a bit of a deal on a cable. Can't do much though, because I barely broken even with your kit, being a one-off run. Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, don't want you to be out any money, just charge me whatever the cable and shipping costs plus whatever profit you want for sorting it out. It was good that you helped me get the kit sorted quickly so I could get it fitted along with the other work I was carrying out. I see your brake lines are different now, did you make much of a change from the version I have? I need to double check my clearances front and rear when I'm home next, ran out of time to check properly last time I was home. Pretty sure my lines were fine though.

It drives me crazy when I get in on what's claimed to be a good deal, only to find they've dropped the price even further a few months later! I don't want to do that to my customers. When I was sourcing brake lines for your kit, the only manufacturers I could find were US based. For the production run, I just happened to find a local manufacturer that I actually had a contact at. He let me borrow fittings and brake hose to experiment with hose routing, which I spent considerable time doing. But in the end, I pretty much came back to the same configuration I supplied to you. The only real difference is that I added the spring guard for some extra protection, since it added very little to the cost. Beyond that, they're both made to the same DOT specifications.

Nigel Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 It's been a very hectic past few days, but kits have shipped for everyone I've requested payment from. Hopefully they all arrive without incident. Zilvia_gt and braid11, message me with your mailing address so I can get a shipping quote for you, and I'll get your kits out asap, once I receive payment. I'm putting the finishing touches on the manual and should have that out soon. Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 I see some of you have received your kits already. Great news! I'm working hard on getting the manual completed and I'll do my best to have it posted tomorrow. Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Received my kit today. Bolted up one side. Still to need to do the passenger side and the parking brake. Everything went together smoothly so far. Great kit Nigel! Please make more quality parts that I can buy. Bought calipers from rockauto. They were $211 for the pair. Bye bye drum brakes. Bracket and centering ring installed. Caliper and rotor installed Edited April 22, 2014 by 280zcar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I am in for a second run when it happens. Two piece center for the rotor. -Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 The manual is complete! Rear Brake Kit Installation Instructions R00.pdf Looks like 280zcar is off to a good start without it. However, there are some important details in it, such as how to route the brake hose, so be sure to give it a thorough read. I've tried to make it as comprehensive as possible, but don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
