I called this morning and was told that production was at lunch and I would get a call back but that did not occur today. She did say she had a shipping request quote on her desk so that's positive.

She never called me back and I haven't called them again. I'll try to find a minute tomorrow. It's hard because I'm short staffed at work (tech's out sick) and they are east coast so I have to call before 2pm

The mounts are shipping from the manufacturer tomorrow morning! Shipping from the manufacturer is going to add $1.50 per mount, so $6 per set. They are coming from the other side of the USA to me (OR) so I'm guessing at least a week transit time. Then I'll have pics of the final products, etc.

If you want to do local pickup if you are in Portland you could stop by my shop and pay cash or card, etc. Or I'll be accepting PayPal for shipping USPS flat-rate once I get the logistics of that figured out and which boxes and such are going to fit the job.

Anxiously awaiting to see if there are some available for those of us that did not get in on the initial order.

I installed a set on my rear A1R cab latch to evaluate and I'm pleased with the results over the last few weeks.
The locating ring on the bottom of the large mount is a bit shorter than the original, but this does not affect their operation. It's only there to center them during installation and is irrelevant once the bolts are torqued.
I am awaiting my order of USPS Priority Mail medium boxes for shipping out all of these mounts. Tonight I will send PM's to all participants with payment information. With packing material the shipping is going to be $20 for simplicity. For those that need two sets - they will both fit in the same box saving on shipping!
Final Pricing:
One Set (A0,A1): $134
Two Sets (A1R): $248

They ended up not making them from the original molds?

I always thought that end was milled down. But as he said, I think it's just a stabilizer to keep it square when you run the bolt thru.

They had "drawings" - remember they last made these in 2005. They had to create new tooling.
And as Third notes - it's only there to facilitate centering.

Everyone in line for the first 50 sets should have a PM with payment instructions. If I don't receive payment in 10 business days I will put those sets back up for grabs.
And yes - additional sets were made in case anything goes wrong in shipping, etc. I anticipate that those who have expressed ongoing interest will get to participate once we ensure the initial orders were fulfilled.

My priority mail flat rate boxes will be arriving tomorrow according to tracking so everyone that gets their payment in before tomorrow when I go to the PO will get mounts shipped.
