Bobnotch, yes we are still on for half pans, and sections.....more info to come....

What I was thinking is that a bunch of us could go in together on a bulk order, have them shipped to a "point man", and have them shipped within the USA from there.

I'm going to need a few sets most likely but I have a back operation to pay for first, damn it. :roll: :lol: In a couple months. Meanwhile, others who need them... we should start planning a bulk order and see if we can get someone in Fla. or in the middle of the country to agree to be "point man". I'd do it but I'm in Oregon, not far from the coast... hardly centrally located.

If you need a UK point man I've got my hand up...

I'm fairly central (not that anywhere is too far away here..) and don't want to make a cent.
I just want to make this happen and don't need to be paying someone else's mark up on top.

I booked my car into the bodyshop today on the back of getting a set of these pans. This is what we've all been waiting for.

It sounds like you may have 2 firm orders this side of the pond, and I know of at least one more who may be interested.
How many would you need to get the shipping down to say $125 - $150 a set?

I think we need 10 sets to get down to that price range.....

OK, I'm on it! :)

I'm still in for picking up a set at the Classic, especially now with the increased cost of direct shipping.

That is the right side under the battery that has that rust hole. That is what he is having trouble duplicating, and getting it right.. :D ;)
