Thanks, we are anticipating some feedback on the evaluation late this week. I'm guessing Friday'ish.
I'm not pressing the company to push this through. It's done on their time and they have been quite busy, so as soon as I can confirm we will go into full production. Mark |

I'm hoping to hear tomorrow. I'd love to go forward on production for these, but until we have the OK we can't.
Our QC checked out, but it's all about the details. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Thanks, currently holding off on replacing my MC until your GB goes forward. The refurbished visors showed up yesterday and they look great. I will put them in this weekend. |

Haven't gone all the way back thru the thread, but if you're making a 19mm I'd take 2.

These are about 90 days out, but they will be a quality product, that is fully engineered, not some junk imported from China. Who's in? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) That is what I am talking about! I was about to do a brake flush but I think I will hold out and do the 19mm master cylinder as well. |

I am in for 1 for sure for the 914, and a second for the 68 912 if the modifications do not conflict with fitment there. Very cool and very exciting!

Evaluation went well, we got over 10,000 cycles on the test unit before the weld broke. It kept cycling for some time, so we are not really shur how many more , but we were comfortable there were at leas that many. Never thought that we should put a kill switch on it, so it cycled for some time after.
Our evaluation as show that the design has worked and we are satisfied on the outcome. The housings are machined and in finishing. Assembly work will begin as soon as we get them back as we are finishing up some of the internals parallel to this. We didn't want a bunch of parts sitting on the shelf if we had to re work the part after we evaluated it. We are on track for 1st parts end of the month and as soon as we all the pieces of the puzzle ready we will open the flood gates. As I mentioned we are working on some special enhancements to the assembly that as soon as we are ready will announce as some options you can add if you see fit. Lots of pieces coming together on this one, literally over a year in making. I may not always be the fastest, but I will stick to it until it's done. |

Hopefully one of those enhancements is threaded ports vs.the push in style. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Not an immediate need, but I'm going to grab at least two when available.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I think that's everyone's best guess at this point, although Mark's being coy. Would really make swapping a m/c easier, if not just plain easy. I'm in for 1. |
