Hi guys,

Still working on these things every chance we get. Guess I underestimated how much time doing 150 of these things would actually take with everything that is involved.

We do have some completed and are currently polishing and stamping the rest in order to do the final heat treat and temper.

We have found we will need to rebroach a number of the sockets for proper fit due to minor inconsistencies with the reproduction gav housings.

In any event, we are still working diligently on this project, so please bear with me.

Bill

Sorry guys,

I've been working on these just way more tedious than I thought. Coupled with a minor stay in the hospital last month and some cracked ribs last Sunday, lol, I am slowly but surely getting them done.

Actually I did rebroach them all and such. Just working on the stamping at this point. I am gonna try and make fixture right quick to speed this process up, as well as put a stop to the smashed fingers and numb tingling sensations, lol.

Once they are stamped I can rip through the heat treat and temper process, then ship.

Shouldn't be long now.

I know there are some of you who are new to this and have expressed interest. I will message you on here and confirm with you wether or not I can add you to the list within the next couple of days.

Hope everyone is doing well, and I sincerely appreciate the patience you have all shown with regard to this process.

Bill

Good Heavens - there is no need to apologize. You are doing us a favor.

Thanks, Bill

PS sorry to hear about the cracked ribs - was a motorcycle involved? I've had a few bounces, but haven't ridden a dirt bike in years. Bill

Motorcycle was not involved although thats what I should tell everyone since it sounds more manly. I could say I crashed one of my sons race bikes on a test ride or something, lol. Unfortunately it was the side of the bathtub when I slipped and fell. My wife keeps teasing me about being one step away from being sent to a geriatric ward, lol. Getting better, don't need quite as many pain killers to breath for the last couple of days, lol.

A little late to the party, but one for me as well. Maybe others in our Model A club will be interested to help with shipping cost(s). If you know anyone selling at/in Tulare (Ca) early next year, that's a great venue for Model A stuff.

I am interested in 1 as well. I tried to read all the posts. Was a final cost ever mentioned (with or w/o shipping)? Thanks, Smitty

With regard to the stamping, it's kind of a must do, as well as most members said they wanted them stamped. Guess it's kinda the one off personalized thing that most appreciate.

As I said, I will see where we stand for our first run and let the new interested folks know if I can fill there orders when the sockets are complete within the next day or so.

Without my list, I know we were over 120, and this run is only 150 minus ones I screw up. I will go over the list, and see what new orders we can accept for the first run in the order of expressed interest.

All of you who already received confirmation from me are guaranteed to get your sockets so don't worry, the original orders will be filled first.

Again, I will get to the newcomers within the next day or so to confirm or deny your order regarding this batch of sockets.

With regard to the question about final pricing and shipping or what have you. I believe the post with the pricing info was post #65. If this is incorrect could someone please correct me since I do not have time to look back through this evening

Bill

Lol,

I won't mention the member, but thank you for letting me know within seconds of my post that the pricing was actually post #64, although I could have sworn it was #65.
