All people have confirmed now, and i'm just waiting for 4 payments to clear/arrive. I'm planning on ordering the material tomorrow, so you will all hopefully get your kits towards the end of next week.

Thanks to everyone for making quick payments!

 

and thanks to you for sorting this Austen

 

Ditto....

 

Here, here. Always easy to join one, different thing organising one (i would imagine 'coz I've never organised one myself!)

Max

 

Indeed. Many thanks to Austen for organising.

My only criticism would be that it's been far too smooth so far - I do like a bit of drama in the group buys I participate in.

Oh well, maybe I'll end up with some yellow flaps, that'd make it a bit more interesting.

 

cheers lads, i'm sitting here, on the beach with my laptop drinking away all that money you sent me

It has been fairly easy (apart from the initial ***** up with the wrong material and having to restart the GB) and i've enjoyed it as it stops me from having to do any proper work!!

 

[QUOTE=austen_wrx]cheers lads, i'm sitting here, on the beach with my laptop drinking away all that money you sent me

Can you confirm that you have my address now ? tried to PM you but the site just was'nt having it !

A big well done for all your efforts

 

All materials were ordered on friday, Kay Dee are very busy at the moment so said ut would take 3 or 4 days. The aluminium is arriving in the next couple of days, so hopefully i will be able to get everything shipped out on friday.

cheers austen

 

What thickness of aluminium are you using Austen ? Made some up in 3mm from the Autocad file and they are a bit thick. 2mm seems about right ?

 

the ali is 2mm

 

Thanks mate

 

Should be arriving soon Austen if you're hoping to get this out to us fro the weekend.

Let us know when you get it and are posting out so we can be ready to receive.

Max

 

Is this group buy still open to new comers, i'm in for a black set for a classic if so...

Regards,

John.

 

sorry mate its finished I may do another one in a couple of months if there is enough interest.

The Kaylan arrived today , just waiting for the aluminium now

 

Has the aluminium turned up yet? Was planning on getting my mecano set out this weekend to do these. Never mind will give me something to do at night now they're drawing in

Cheers.

Max

 

I picked the ali up today and have spent all evening packing every thing. What a pain in the ****! I've just come on the computer to print everyones addresses off and the bloody ink has run out on the printer, so i'll have to go and hand write them now

 

Thanks for all your efforts Austen - if we ever meet then I'll be sure to buy you a couple of pints for sorting this out

 

Totally agree. Well done mate.

Max

 

Everything was posted this morning (parcel force), including £100 insurance on each package.

 

I love you and want to have your babies...

Or would a thankyou be enough?

 

Austen Your a bloody star******

 

cheers Austen, this is a pretty quick turn around for a group buy,thanks for all the hard work you've put in.

Thanks
Tebo

 

Now i'm scared!!!

No problem chaps

 

Just to let you all know, I have cut the flaps out using a sharp stanley knife (used a new blade for each flap). I used a steel rule as the the guide, and backed it up with a wide piece of thick MDF so i could kneel on it to stop the rule moving, it then took about 3 passes with the blade to cut through the Kaylan. I cut the flaps out without the radius shown (square corners) then used a small spray can as the template to cut the radius into each corner. They have come out fantastic.

I have also cut out the ali brackets. I put the templates together and then glued the paper templates to the ali with spray on adhesive. This made it really easy to cut out the brackets. I drilled all of the holes before i cut the brackets out.

The only thing i'm not sure off is which side of the flap the brackets should go, wheel side or body side. i.e. should the build up be bracket, flap, car, or flap, bracket, car. Has any one seen a set of bought flaps fitted??

 

I don't know you not only supply the Kaylan you then tell us how to make the flaps, you truely are one of a kind Austen......and we all love you!!!

I think the bracket goes on the outside on top of the flap to sandwich it to the car, to stop the bolts ripping through the Kaylan? ie bracket, flap, car.....as you put it!

 

I'd have to agree or the bracket would have no practical use.

Max

 

The order is:

bracket / flap / car

apart from the back one, which goes:

bracket / flap / bracket / car (if that makes sense)?

 

That doesn't make sense? What do you mean??

 

The back one has 2 brackets.

hang on..... I'll go take a photo
