Default Aero catch group buy

Bit cheeky I know but I wanted to get as many people interested as possible.

Have a look in the group buy section if you're interested.

Hello all,

I've spoken with Aero Catches themselves about organising a group buy for us all after hearing how people have unintentionally been miss sold fakes or bought cheap copies.

I spoke with Graham who stated that he could only deal with trade customers. However, he's put me through to Steve at Sabelt.

Steve is more than happy to help us but needs an idea of numbers before he can start offering prices. He has suggested that if the GB is successful he may be able to help us out with some more of his products.

There are 3 main type of catches which are either lockable or non lockable. More details can be found here

http://www.aerocatch.com/?gclid=CPTS...FW_HtAodUScAKQ

What i need at the moment is a list of people that are interested in the product and then i will get prices from Sabelt ASAP.

I have searched on here and it doesn't appear that any of the traders are selling them, if they are i am sorry and i don't want to tread on your toes.

Please make your list below.

P.s i'll be forwarding the link to Sabelt and Aero Catches for their info.

They're for any car. I believe they were originally designed for race, track, rally and kit cars. They solve the problem of the bonnet trying to rip itself off at speed and scumbags helping themselves to your lights and posh engine bits like I had done to me.

And your names to the list gents.

I now have another supplier as a back up in case sabelt falls through or can't offer a decent enough price.

There's a link to demon tweaks on the group buy page. They're one of the cheapest known sellers. Choose what you want and we should get them a fair bit cheaper than that.

Won't know till mon/tues till I show him hopefully lots of interest.

I dont want any but had them on a previous car.
Very good bits of kit. I had the lockable ones, and should i ever want any more bonnet pins etc, then aerocatch is the only option!

Funny you should say that, I was going to approach you next for a fitting price with your very respectable measure 36 times and cut once policy

It's a new age. If it all goes horribly wrong you'll only end up making it look better

Don't suppose anyone fancies doing a bit of ringing around to get some prices?

Add your name to the list.

We'll be getting them cheaper than retail. The more interest, the cheaper it gets. Hopefully by Tuesday ill be able to get some prices up for you.

what's best to use, a dremmel? if so which one and what attachments? I've looked at a few in B&Q and eBay but don't know where to start when it comes to buying one.

Once I've cut the two holes with the hole saw I use a tool like this ---

With cutting discs attached to join the two holes up.
