As you know I have the WAS top going now and I have the tooling for the substructure that I'm currently producing. I have been talking about having the substructure made in production quantities and have move my tooling over to an outside vendor to produce these parts much faster than I can.

Turns out he has the tooling for the back pads and is offering me the ability to produce the parts at a great price. I figured that I'd pass it along. These parts will be available in 2 weeks and I'm making a custom box to ship that will add $8 to the shipping cost (actual).

Anyone interested?

PRODUCT IS IN!

Rob

The actual weight puts it at about $22 (+the box), I will not have the dimmensional weight until I have a set in hand and can have the boxes made. The key is to pack them as well as possible without having too big of a box, I can answer the question as soon as the boxes are done.

Sorry I can't be more accurate, but I don't have those dimmensions yet.

It is just the fiberglass and doesn't have clips with it. I plan to reuse my old clips. Thay could be made if there is enough interest.

I have found some non custom boxes that are only $5

Dimensional weight puts the cost for Fedex home delivery (insured at $200) at $30.04+$5+$179=$214.04

USPS Parcel Post insured run $22.52 parcel post. Insurance (recommended) adds $2.85 for $200. The total shipping is $30.07. Priority mail is showing $43 and some change off the USPS website with dimensions entered.
Total is $179+30.07 = $209.07.

Kind of gives you an idea of where the costs and options are. Honestly, if it were me I would do the Fedex as I trust them more.


Elliot- I didn't realize there was a moisture problem here, but my thought is that without the cardboard any moisture on the back side would wind up on the floor. If this was a concern you could add a thin material to the back side that would do that.

In my opinion overkill, but there are several other types of material you could use if this is an issue. I have not noticed this on my car before, but is this a function of not having a "mat" on the firewall side and the tar liner on the inside?

Rob-
Come on, you know you'll never retire, just stear into the skid.

For all -
I'm getting a first "DIY kit" from James to do my back pad next week. I will have some pictures, but doubt I'll be able to get it dome before I have to go back to the day job at the end of the week. I'll have pricing on this too next week.

I was "steering into the skid" all day today. I took Nicho along for every lap and he is sound asleep right now with a permanent grin! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
