John really is doing everything he can to make things right for people. He also seems to have a good memory for someone who has as much going on as he does...its wild how he remembers conversations from months ago from a lowly window shopper such as myself.

Finally inserts are arriving.
I guess the guy who I though was a friend who was saying "Everybody is saying John got cut off" was wrong. And evidently , so was I.

And evidently so was "everybody".

Yesterday evening:




And another load more is one the way.


Even got a set of 50mm inserts but LORDY they have 228mm travel.
Kinda long OAL

Yeah, they made one rear out of your damaged pair and it's sitting here.
I also have 2 new ordered for you which should arrive shortly...

Haven't gotten the itemized bill yet.

You know how to find me......

BTW, I have a thought on your rally car electrical, how about we put in that nice simple harness I made for the last car since I started from scratch for the new car. Simple fuse panel right on the tunnel, load relays in the engine bay, pre wired for stock ignition switch, T.S. switch, wipers, and headlamp switches.

The longest 6-1/2 months of anticipation ever. Could you get with me on the pricing and what I still owe you?

OK real soon cause your stuff will be first done..all that's needed is to cut the tops. Everything else is all ready and assembled.

I like this. I was holding on to my fronts until things got a bit more sorted out. Would now be the time to send those up for the longer inserts/softer valving?

Awesome Ryan! Maybe we could send mine, Scott's, and yours in one box if they're all ready to save some dough on shipping.
We going to put a cage in it over the winter so you can start doing hill climbs next year? smiling smiley

Sure did, along with pretty detailed illustrations. Sorry I haven't let you know, I've been busy with my new little girl. Thanks for those. You need to let me know what I owe you and I will be sure to post up some pretty detailed installation pics etc over in my build log when I get to them.

Thanks again John.
