Picked my kit up from Ian on Friday night after work....have to say it is top quality kit and I can't wait to get it on the car.
Have booked myself a day off Wednesday and it'll all be done then....will try and post some before, during and after piccies on the website
Can also confirm that I saw a lot of 325mm discs in the workshop!!!!!!!

Nice one Dave....
Cannot wait.......and you saw loads of 325mm maybe mine is one of them (fingers crossed)
btw, Dave any chance you can either mail or fax me over the fitting instructions, I would like to give it to my mechanic so that he knows what the fitting will be like..
Thanks

Hi All , To correct Dave he saw loads of 335mm discs not the 325mm , we have 6 kits with owners and another 5 going out either tomorrow or thursday , Stan has just left here after us fitting his brakes for him , He looked very happy so will give you his thoughts later when he's home ,
Back to the lathe to crack on with these orders , 21 in total , I want to go to sleep !!!
Many thanks , Ian

Mark A and others
not sure if this helps but when I spoke to Ian today he did say that there was a Second batch of disc all going out today/tomorrow so you guys should get them Friday/Saturday .. I am on the 3rd batch so mine will be next week..
So if your in the bottom quarter of the list then you will get yours next week
Is that right Ian ??

Ok , We have 3 kits being sent tonight , Ray T , Paul G , Stephen Done , tomorrow we have 2 more going out for P Gravett and M Aitkinson , I will be working all weekend so will let the next batch know on tuesday ,
I would be very gratefull if you can be patient and not start getting into a 'He had my order 10 mins before yours' war , there is only 2 of us working here and we are working our butts of to fullfill this order which was originally going to be only 10 orders but as the demand was so popular we kept it open to all who wanted them , 21 in total , I take great care in making these kits and will not rush them , I want them to be perfect when sending them out , I think the pictures Dave has posted will show what they are like , So please be patient .
Dave I like the Godspeed stickers , I think I will be getting some of them made up , Pictures look great ,
Many thanks to all , Ian

The logo design was something I just came up with myself....fairly simple really 
, and they were made by the sign company that have done all the graphics for me (as seen on the doors of my car in the pic above). They were cut from "ten year" vinyl, stuck on, and covered with a light coat of clear lacquer.
I'm glad everyone likes em....also got Ian's web address across the sunstrip.....since he's been so nice to us all

Discs are on. Look great. Bedding in now.
Steve
P.S. Did anyone else find the brake pads a pretty snug fit (335mm kit) when sliding them into the caliper ? (I'm talking their longest dimension here.) We shaved 0.5mm off mine to give some heat expansion clearance to prevent binding. I had Mintex 1144 by the way.
