Gordon, Hope you get your rack soon so I can take a look at DGRR :)

Jon has both my stock rack and the manual rack he's made (apparently) or is still making. He used my stock rack to make sure the new LHD rack was correct. He said he sent the rack, but I have not been able to get a tracking number, though I am hoping for one today. Does anyone know why it would be an issue to get me the tracking number?

Update: I have the tracking number, which suggests my rack will be here tomorrow! That means my car might be done for DGRR!

Do post some pics to se how she is looking....

I just got a tracking number and mine should show up on the 15th. I'll bring it to DGRR with me.

Guys... Mine came over the weekend along with my old rack that Jon used to spec the new LHD one. It was installed today. Here are some pictures of the rack next to the stock rack and some close ups. They didn't go with the solid mount, but the modified collar looks better than the stock collar.

WOW! Looks great!

Now I want one :)

I got my tracking number today. :)

I have my P/S rack for sale, but I've never driven a car fully manual. Going to hold onto it until I see how this baby drives.

Looks nice.. either way solid or un solid mount, that's the specs i was looking for... Nice and compact.... It will be nice to see it on your car Gordon at the Dragon...

Later

Wow, Jon packaged this thing to withstand a 30ft drop. haha
Can't wait until my car is finished. :banghead:

I saw your R3 but didn't know who you were.. Sorry I didn't get to meet you.

Buy that and sell me the Maval rack...LOL..

Thanks...
I was around there:), will meet up next year for sure.. I hope to get my 3 rotor car done by then...

Regarding the rack, it was packed really good :)..

But man what a nice piece of work, mad props, great craftsmanship..

mine is at the house!!! FedEx attempted to drop it off yesterday but no one was home...

i can't see gordon's pics, so i'll snap some shots of mine tonight

edit: brother took this with his cell phone:

Cool! Can't wait to see your 20B!! Also, let me know how this thing works out for you with your conversion.. I might pick one up ;)

Regarding to the bar, why didn't that make the otherside solid like the right side? Is there a reason why its a seperate piece mounting hardware vs. solid piece with the rack?

I was just reading gordon's thread on 7club about the install of his rack. here is one thing for us to keep in mind when we mess with our own:

hopefully he will chime in over there too...

and jon does say:

so anyone who didn't get in on the initial GB will still be able to get one when they are ready
