My last update.

I contacted Neil. He is certain the tunacan will fit in a small flat rate box. If you paid too much, I will reimbuse you for the difference.

This is the current pricing.
Tunacan $56.17
Tacoplate $39.73
Tunacan cover $28.77
Shipping/insurance across pond = $3.43 per unit.
US shipping looks to be a small flat rate box $6.80
Paypal to 7394teen@gmail.com. I am placing this order tommorrow 7/6/2016 @ 12:00 edst.

Thanks for your patience

Carlos





I have contacted each person who PMed or posted to this date. If I missed you I apologize, please PM me.

I realized that with the brexit vote, the exchange had a chance to turn to our favor.
Waiting saved 8%.

This is the current pricing with todays exchamge $1.37=1 GBP
I am at 13 of each piece. I do't think it will be possible to reach the next discount level, which would required 25/unit.


Tunacan $56.17
Tacoplate $39.73
Tunacan cover $28.77
Shipping/insurance across pond = $3.43 per unit.

My zip is 19111. You can I expect a med flate rate box is required if you order a tunacan, otherwise a small flat rate will work. It is easier for you to calc your own US shipping.


PM me if you are a last minute buyer. I will forward my paypal to you and confirm the pricing with you.

Please don't post here, PM me. Please don't make me do your math. I have a headache already.

As soon as I hit 50% I am ordering. Hopefully I'm not eating them.

Hi,
You may remember the billet tuna can group buy. I have been in contact with Neil and he would be willing to offer it again.
He also offers a Taco plate. He sent me his newest catalog and it is attached here.
I have no idea what the pricing will be, depends on volume, but at least shipping will be less.

CarlosAttached File  Engine_parts_catalogue___Type_4___rev.01.pdf ( 121.27k ) Number of downloads: 799

Update, I believe that I have enough commitments to reach the following pricing I believe im am at 10 for tuna can, tunacan cover and tacoplate. I think it will be pretty tough to reach 25 of any particular piece.

tuna can @ £41=$59.60 at todays exchange
tuna can cover @ £21=30.51
Taco plate @ £29=42.13

There will be shipping, and possibly duties, I'm not aware of what they will be at the moment. Figure a small/med flat rate box, Plus a share of getting the box over the pond.

I will contact each of you who has expressed interest to this point. I will keep this alive till 6/12.

Again, Please PM me if you are interested. I may miss contacting you.


Carlos

I, along with Chris' (CFR) much appreciated help, conducted the previous group buy. I now have 3 tuna cans and 1 taco plate. The temperature sensor is shrouded (recessed) in the taco plate to help with the anticipated air flow.

I haven't measured the temperature variances vs the stock taco plate, so I don't know how 'off' the gauge is at indicating the actual oil temperature. The engine case is also aluminum, so I doubt the temperature difference would be that much to worry about.

Now, I'm not an hydro engineer, and not well versed in these things, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn recently (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Yep, Mark and Chris arranged the last group buy. It seemed to work out well thanks to their efforts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Sounds like you're a couple of taco plates short there mate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Hi Neil.

I originally ordered a tuna can and a taco plate for my car, but ended up buying two more tuna cans from other members who decided not to install them for some reason (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

My wife's car doesn't have a taco plate nor a temperature gauge, so she'll just get one of the tuna cans.


Hope you get another large order this go-around too, you offer up some nice products (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


I'm in for 3 of the oil sump cover plates (silver or black)

I should clarify. "One of each" for me means a taco plate, tuna can, and bottom plate.

Thanks!!

Ok I'm in for two of each. Bought one from Neil about 2 yrs ago on my own. The quality is excellent. Be prepared to wait a minute to get it past customs but he will come thru.

Carlos, are you going to have the entire order shipped to your location, then ship to the individual participants?

Most of the orders are small enough to fit into those small Priority Mail Flat-Rate boxes (+/- $6.00) ...
