Content de trouver ici Axel!
et merci du tuyau pour ces pièces, c'est grâce à toi que je l'ai vu!
Je peux donc bien régler le port pour nous deux, je contacte Wayne pour lui régler la totalité et nous verront entre nous ensuite.

Good News:

The USA "B" Post Caps arrived today.

Shipping anywhere in the Continental US by First Class Postage will be $10.00 which is outbound US Postage @ $3.00 + inbound postage @ $3.00 and PayPal fees at $4.00.

So the price to Wayne will be $40.00 plus $10.00 which equals $50.00.

Send payment to Wayne ASAP and I will mail out your set of caps. PayPal is the fastest way or you can use Western Union, but that costs more and requires going to a WU office.
Contact Wayne for his PayPal ID or his Western Union ID.

I will post the caps as soon as Wayne confirms payment.

I will need the LEC ID, Real Name and US Address for all of the US buyers:

Brit-Car-Nut
Carlotus
clarkerussell
DeanG
Dunnlor
Lotus54
NSR-250
steve matthews

If anyone wants to be added to the list, DO IT NOW. I have 2 extra sets at this price but if Wayne has to send more, the shipping charges might change depending on the volume.

Having some time, I looked over the recent arrivals and noticed that unlike the pre-production sample, these all have a bit of a bump on the botton, by where the hinge overlaps.

You will get a better fit if you trim the bump using a razor (careful) or maybe a fingernail file.

I will include four (4) screws to attach the hinges. You will need to recover the hinges from your original caps.

Best to use a drill bit that is large enough to just take the top off each rivet. No need to drill all the way through.

For those who didn't get screws with their caps (oops!), they are M3 x 6mm Button Head.

Sorry for so many posts, but each is a different issue, so I didn't want them running together.

Now is the time for any stragglers to join in as once this sale is over, the price will be going up since Wayne needs to recover his huge investment.

Sign up NOW.

Wayne, John,

Parts received today. Both parts, L and R, look great (shape, surface aspect, colour, thickness, position of holes for springs, assembly).
Was not any real surprise to me as you know as the right side prototype is installed on my car (since end of June) and has been giving full satisfaction during summer (4000km). :D

I would like to say a great THANK YOU to each of you for such a successful Group Buy project. Exactly what makes LEC community so unique !

Cheers

A big thank you once again to Wayne and John for putting so much effort into this project. :smt023
PM sent to Wayne with my address but there's no rush as far as I'm concerned. Paid by bank transfer.
Thanks again guys.

Wayne sent you an email or PM with the details. If you didn't receive it, send him an EMAIL, not a PM and he will give you the details. You will also need to send him you LEC ID, Real Name, and Address details.

I received the caps yesterday and they are excellent quality.

The package had been opened and resealed by customs but they came through intact with no duty charges.

Many thanks for all your efforts.

I would like everyone that has supported this project over the last 12 months.

I know that the parts are not a 100% replica and some changes and compromises were made. But I believe that for the cost they are way better than any alternative currently offered.

I have currently not contacted anyone other than the people that have emailed me about these parts as I can only ship them in small qtys.

I have sent out several more sets over the last few days and have a few more to ship tomorrow. I will continue to let people know when they are dispatched.

If anyone that has paid and has not been informed that parts have been shipped within a few days please get back to me.

Parts once shipped may take up to 2 weeks to arrive

Any payments received from US members. Details will be forwarded to BCN. Some payments have not included a LEC id so I do not know who has paid and sent delivery details. (hopefully John knows all of you).

As mentioned earlier I will probably be unavailable next week. I will try to get back to any emails after I return home.

Many thanks
