I do believe you have M-Calipers up front Weinerschnitzel

Reid, your's are... somewhere, not sure where but, they're somewhere.

I have an extra set of R4 pads (the race pads) for a 914-6 or an early 911.

At least the Birthday Fairy loves me....

AP31T's will be shipping to us tomorrow. Busy weekend ahead. That should be the last of it.

***update***

I called yesterday for an update (as I was fully expecting to see the AP31T's Thursday if they truly did ship them Tuesday) and I was told they didn't know and I would have to call back Monday (even thought I heard her asking the guy in charge of shipping in the background).

Which means to me... they've yet to ship the AP31T's.

Basically; a full 1/2 of the orders are waiting on these late model 914 front pads. Sorry for the delay.

Update on Monday.

Seriously, if I know Eric he has the boxes all ready to go and they would ship they moment he sees them. So your update is that they are still on BO from Porterfield. Patience young Jedi!

Called Porterfield on Tuesday and they stated the mold for the AP31T's needed to be remanufactured. They are now saying 3 more weeks.

Sorry for the delay in posting as I just returned from Boston last night.

You are correct; I have 15 boxes lined up and ready to go, we're just waiting on the AP31T's (late model 914 fronts). I'm anxious to get this behind me.

No worries... just to make it clear:

If you have a late model 914 (72.8 - 76) your are probably on B/O (front AP31T pad sets). We're hoping they ship out "to us" next week.

If you have BMW fronts, we have about 3-4 of those orders being held up for rear pads. They should have shipped the AP30 rear pads early this week and we expect them any day now.

Once the rears come in we'll send out the 3-4 BMW/914 orders and stage the rest for delivery once the late model fronts arrive.

Eric -- Any update on when the late model pads are going to ship?

I think Eric might be ummm... remote right now. Otherwise I would have been banned for sure.

But I can tell you that it has been one week and one day since he said three weeks. So I would expect he might get them around the 19th of March. Given the margin involved it would maim Eric for sure if he shipped partial shipments so please be patient. They will get to you eventually.

George, Eric will get back to you after Vanessa makes him come inside. He is out by the street looking up and down the block for the UPS truck so he can get these out to you... Kind of like a helpless puppy waiting for his owner to come home...

Am I eliciting sympathetic images yet? Seriously, he will get them out 30 minutes after he himself gets them...

They "supposedly" shipped to me today.

Boxes and invoices are sitting ready for AP31T's in R4-S compound.

Assume all orders will ship in full this week.

Thanks,

Don't get too excited. They lied. Again...

I called yesterday to get confirmation that they shipped on Monday (after not seeing the credit card charge go through) and she said she had good news. They're shipping tomorrow (which is today).

Weee. That "was" good news.

Eric,

I couldn't wait any longer to replace my front pads, our first AX of the season was last weekend. So I had to run down to Zims and pick up a set, nothing comparable to the Porterfields, but they were better than what I had on the car. I saw you shipped out the rest of my stuff today, thanks. Here's a picture of the pads I took off.
