Actually starting up this next week. Matt is freeing up some time for me I will be costing these to figure out time. Good news is I have all 3 and can do on an exchange with a steep core charge (I need to get them back so I have to make it worthwhile for you to do so.
More pics and info soon.

man this is perfect timing! I just disassembled my rack yesterday to rebuild.
I put in a big order for the lenses and carpet kit; will have to call you and add on the parts needed for rebuild. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Is this service available? Cost and turnaround time?
Or do you offer the parts as a kit for DIY?

Been a little busy actually working on an oddball 911 version. We have some that are stripped down and are starting to build these and can do an exchange basis or rebuild yours is you want. Exchange we are about 2 weeks out from being able to open up the service and ship (we are starting to build up a few).

If you want yours rebuilt it will take a little longer to turn around. We are looking at a $300 core (why so much? we want them back).
With a serviceable core we can do these at $220+ shipping. A little more than 1st planned, but cleaning these up takes a little more time. We then buff the internals to look for any pitting or damage.

Here's some pics from the one I'm just about finished with.
Would have been more impressive if we had more before pics

How much with out the spacers and eyeball ends? You do not need them if you are going turbo tie rods?

$200 without the ends $185 without the end flanges. You do have to provide them as part of the core if you expect to get them. back. The same is true for the bellows retaining bands.

What would be real cool is to somehow add a grease nipple to the bottom bearing.
I don't think you could do this to the top bearing, but it's almost always the bottom bearing that fails anyways.

Finally complete, then found out he wanted turbo tie rods.
No big deal.

We did make the new rubber bushings for the eyes on the end. As well as the new bellows and internals. As well as the puck we had made and the sleeves hardware and even the special washer. These item are not part of the rebuild but can be included easily.

Turned out pretty good. Spent the day putting together the protocol for the rebuild. We will also be setting up a higher core charge to encourage returns, but can include a prepaid label to make returns easy. The service will depend on getting cores back. One hear or there ok, but we need to keep these moving in bulk. we have 5 that we are tearing down now and 3 that we are working on.

We are ready to start moving on these and open up the flood gates this next week.
Thanks to all for their patience.

Actually we will do these off the shelf and do a core charge to encourage exchange. Building up a stock pile now but will open the gates up Friday to all.

We have found that there are about 5 variations on these, so to keep it simple it's best to do as a service.

They are not really hard to to, but you have to return them to factory spec which means a jig, so easiest to just do it here.
