Ooops pushed to many buttons . Sometimes I am all thumbs. I just want to clear the air on the pieces I made. Yes,  Keith is correct I have been crazy busy with work so making time to cutting them can be difficult and yes there have been a few instances that I have not been paid. Most likely because of my trust in mankind, but also some folks have sent me more money than I had asked for, A big thank you to those people. Also I must say what has been the case is that, those who haven't paid have been new to the forum and have since disappeared. I think this site and the members of this site are wonderful and I feel very blessed to be a part of it. I have met some wonderful people like Keith, and many others and I am thankful for that. Long story short I will do everything I can to help with these if I can, and if those people can be patient and work with my schedule.
 
                      Thanks for putting up with me.
                                                B.P.

For a couple of reasons. First is that several people didn't bother to pay him and the second is that his work load has increased. It's a shame that people do that and ruin it for everybody. He wasn't making any money on them and did it to help the hobby.

If you don't have anything, that set is better than nothing. There's been problems with getting stuff from that vendor so good luck with that. If those parts were only copied after the originals, it won't be as good as doing the no wobble setup. The top guides are easy to make but you do need a lathe to make the lower bushing. The top guides need to be cut down to match the bracket. Pit crew shows this on page 2. Don't make the lower bushing any taller that the original. Its that height for a reason. I've done several of these and helped guys with theirs so I'm saying this with experience so do what you want if you don't believe me. Smile

The ship has sailed on getting these made. Best thing to do make some yourself. The dimensions are on page 1.

I currently have a few sets available, If interested message me with contact/shipping information. Price is $45.00 a set which is enough for one car or 2 doors. Shipping included within the USA. I will only sell the sets I currently have. At the point I will not be making anymore in the near future.
 
                           Thanks B.P.
