Placed order and paid. Not sure the clamps ,hoses,nipples ,are included for the "easy-installment" didn't see that option?

PM me the last name, I can convert your order over to the easy. I'm really happy with the way they turned out I'll post some more details on the easy option this afternoon.
I'll forward PMs to all here shortly for the code.
The link is right here, but if you want the code you have to sign up on the thread.

Placed my order just now. Thanks Mike. I do admire your ambition here taking on critical systems like brakes. We appreciate your hard work. Looking forward to reviews from folks who get these installed. Mine will go in when I finish my brake system refresh. I've got my front PMB calipers, new front hard lines, and soft lines all done. Next will be rear calipers, lines, the "ABS" regulator, and the MC.

Working from home today but I can give you a little idea of what the easy option looks like.

We have the fittings made and the fit is so tight on the hose you can literally suspend it by the hose. The clearance on the barb makes it an easy push on. However, we are including the clamps just to make sure there are no problems.

PMs sent to all so far (I think - Let me know if I missed anyone).

Also, we have have sold out all of the easy option. We are in production of the next 200 units and will have them finished up in 3 weeks (or less). The good news is we will keep the GB open until production is complete. The other items on GB will close Nov15th, but we have a whole new grouping of parts for GB that will be ready at that time so the good news is we can combine if you so choose. I can only say that they are a major grouping I think at least a few of you will want. Again with improvements to make your like easier.

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.



What is the industry standard for acceptable number of cycles before a failure?
10,000 seems like a low number if it refers to the number of times the master cylinder is engaged, but maybe I'm thinking about it wrong.
Also curious if you tested for side-loading.
Not criticizing, just asking after coming across this web site: Hydraulics and Pneumatics These are what stops the car after all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

For the record, I'm very happy you're making the part and have already bought one.

Well if URO is using industry standard it must be 5 cycles.
But seriously, we did do our homework, and have an outside company (that this is their business) running QC on these (each one) before they ship. This is one of the reasons it takes a little longer in the production cycle on these.

Update on the Easy Kit.
I went to do installation instructions today and noted that one of the components was not optimal. It’s the nipple closest to the foot pedal bulkhead. . We did clear the bulkhead t, but the hose was close enough that it was not an ideal install. We are re-machining these right now and will ship the rest out this last week. For those of you that we have shipped. We will send you the corrected part. We also included the splice hoses longer than you needed as they can be cut to length, but we will be finalizing the cut length to make for minimal cutting.
I appreciate your patience, we had been focused more on the master cylinder itself and the CQ for operation prior to shipping, and even though I had measured this all out before I had not allowed for the hose being installed. I have Taylor working on these this weekend and Carry will be helping to get the installation pics so we can show you the how to.

Sincerely,
Mark

Thanks for the update and for making this kit in the first place. Can't wait, though no rush for my order.
