Group buy

Post by GRUVBB » Sun Sep 15, 2013 3:19 pm

My car is a bit rough around the edges and if i extract the tek screwscthat currently hold plate on then will have to fill those holes....lol.... Will have a closer look when i fit hardtop this week and consider it.

Just provide me with a list of washers screw and locknuts etc and i will,sort put purchase initially. Not important which company he with but they do full range. Special deals better to have special discreetness..

Price will be depending on how many we get done at the time, eg. Multiples = cheaper, One off's = $$$

So I guess we start with a batch of 10 we can set the order around that number of people and I can get a price per item back to you guys.

Please indicate if you would like to be in the first batch,

Nice! +1 Karma for you for making parts for us.

Don't really have an input on the finish, either one looks fine to me.

I am not fussed on the finish, I would personally lean towards which ever is cheapest because I am a tight ass :wink:
