Have you been contacted by srsvw? Jim Logan?
Did you get a tracking number?
Please also report here if/when you have received them.
Rich
yes I did
Me three.
In fact we squared away payment info and he promised a SRS sticker in my box.
Shoot!
I guess I should have held out for a sticker or a shirt too.
Yeah, talked to Jim yesterday and I'm all set.
Even had a dream about installing them last night.
yep, called me yesterday, now i get to see how long it is going to take to make it over the border!!
Got a call from Jim yesterday morning and paid in full. He even left vm yesterday afternoon with a tracking number.

Attached image(s)
mine finally showed up yesterday.
anyone have a install pictorial thread or can create one?
I am tentatively planning a
Feb 10 or 11 or BOTH in El Cerrito
Sideshift conversion install help needed, and would love to tackle the rear needle bearing install then as well. The SRS directions are pretty good. I will take pics of course.
Hopefully the weather and my schedule cooperates to make this a reality. Also, Meuller mentioned a week or 2 ago he could give advice on install and possibly mod ideas to the SRS design. Visiting Mike's garage 3 weeks ago, he mentioned they are not too much trouble; the fronts are the more difficult to get perfect
dont drill into the bearing.
dont place it where you can never get a grease gun.
Dont drill it where it interferes with mounting the arm on the car.
On a bench it looks easy...you really need to look at it in the car to see that there is really only one good place on each end of each arm to put that fitting and have it be functional, and not in the way.
Rich
Thanks Rich for hooking me up with the last 2 sets, I just got them, although they came in while I was in Vail snow sking last week and this week. so there here now.
Now if I can just find a teener worthy of them, any dialed-in racers for sale out there?
Craig
Awesome, just got the blighters yesterday.....
I've a question on installation. Reading their instructions i'm unsure what they mean by loctiting the bearing in, maybe i'm being simple but aren't you supposed to grease a bearing??
1. Remove arms from car. Remove rubber bushings and cross shaft.
2. Press the cad plated tubes into the trailing arms, so that an equal amount protrudes on both ends.
(For the nervous this tube can be additionally held in place by drilling a small hole in the
trailing arm out near the end, and tack welding it.)
3. Grease the needle bearings with a high quality wheel bearing grease.
4. Using a generous amount of loctite, press a bearing into ONE end of the tube.
5. Slide the new axle shaft through the tube and bearing, so it comes out the other end.
6. Slide the second bearing over the axle shaft and into the tube, again using loctite to secure the bearing.
The shaft should now rotate freely in the bearings.
7. Install the trailing arm in the car, using the supplied hardened washers as a race for the thrust portion of
the bearing. The number of washers will vary from car to car, try to minimize the side to side play as much
as possible.
8. Use the supplied bolts with the factory washers to secure the shaft in the car.
9. Recheck the bolt torque, and side to side play after run in.
