I have received the bolts for Group 2 today

I've started unpacking the bolts for Group 2 when I got in about a half an hour ago. They look very good guys!



However, I need to apologise for losing a nights 'production' time. I've not started putting them together yet because I came out to my car at work this afternoon to find this:





On the plus side (not that there really is one), you did not need a criminology degree to figure out the culprit....



Needless to say, I've been on the phone to the insurance since I got in from work. I'll make a start on the kits tomorrow guys, please accept my apologies for the slight delay - I hope you can understand!

No problem - details sent via pm.

Made a bit of progress with the car today, he's admitted everything and all details have been verified. The body shop is just round the corner from my work so I called in today and got the ball rolling. Now to match the 74F paints.....

Over the weekend (once I've got all Group 2 kits packages and ready to go) I will start a Group 4 list. There are quite a few interested already so shouldn't take too long to fill up.

Well, been up in my spare room all afternoon working on the Group 2 kits. The good news is that I've done all I can with them, the bad news is that when sorting through the bolts I noticed that they have omitted to send me the coil pack mounting bolts . There are also one or two other small shortages - all of which will be rectified and sent out to me at work (to avoid missing the recorded delivery, adding another day onto things). I should receive them on Tuesday so will complete the kits and seal them up Tuesday night ready to post out on Wednesday morning.

I would rather not issue any finite instructions on how to refurb your alternator, but will consider posting the notes I made along my way. The reason being (as I'm certain those who have done it will testify) it can be an absolute nightmare if any one of about half a dozen things goes wrong - the majority of which would require a new alternator or replacement parts. I had some very comprehensive written instructions when I first did one, but still learnt the hard way by wrecking 4 alternators along the way....

If you are patient and not ham-fisted like me, you should be ok. The effort is well worth it in the end

I'll be putting a 'Goup 4' list up once I've posted all of Group 2's kits on Wednesday, just don't want to get ahead of myself by putting it up now. There are already quite a few interested in the 4th round of the GB so it shouldn't take too long to fill up

I'll be working with one of the newage owners who's taken a kit on Group 3, to tailor a specific kit to suit - using the feedback to make the neccessary adjustments/additions to the v5/6 kits.

Just to confirm also guys, I have had written confirmation from my supplier that they have sent out the additional bolts by recorded delivery today - to my work address so I should get them tomorrow. Barring any heroics from Royal Fail I will have the kits completed tomorrow night ready to post out on Wednesday morning. Again, I will pm each of you with your tracking number as soon as I get back from the post office.

Regards,

James

Nothing received at work today guys, and there was nothing waiting at home when I got in either

I've got the tracking number so I know they've been sent, will get them in the morning no doubt. I'll finish the kits off when I get in tomorrow (annoying that I'm really only waiting for 3 bolts to go in each kit ) and get them posted off first thing on Thursday.

Again, please accept my apologies for the delay. I hope you can understand that this part of the process is beyond my control..... I'll confirm if the balance of the bolts is received tomorrow to keep you updated.

Regards,

James

Nothing received at work again today! Having spoken to the supplier they swear they were sent out recorded 1st Class on Monday evening (have no reason to doubt them as they've always been very prompt at rectifying errors previously) so the balance of the bolts should've been here yesterday morning. At very worst they should've been with me this morning but they weren't Got to love Royal Fail

Not happy at all - you guys are kept waiting for the sake of 3 bolts (per kit) plus it makes me look like a mug when I've promised to get them posted out.

I'll keep you updated, apologies again the for the delay

Low and behold, nothing received today either

Spoken to the supplier again and they have re-packed the additional bolts and sent out on overnight special delivery before 10am tomorrow (have tracking number). I'd put money on me receiving both parcels in the morning knowing my luck.

If by some turn of fate the balance of the bolts does not turn up in the morning I will seal the kits up and send them out as they are (only missing the coil pack mounting bolts) and then send the additional bolts out seperately at my expense when they arrive.

Either way I will keep you updated with progress, please accept my apologies again for the delay.

Very frustrating relying on a 3rd party with things being (mostly) out of my control! I'm sure those who have dealt with me previously on here and the lads on P1WOC will testify - this is the polar opposite of how I like to run things!! Should be receiving todays post in the next half an hour, so will update the thread again as soon as I know what's what.

James

The second parcel (sent yesterday) arrived about 15 mins ago! God knows where the first package has got to, but for now I don't really care!!



Will print the postage this afternoon and get the kits finished up when I get in tonight guys I'll be taking them to the post office first thing tomorrow so the kits should hopefully be with you Monday morning (with the exception of the overseas deliveries). I will pm each of you with your tracking number when I get back from the post office.
