It reflects the quality of the insert. If you've got housings with major gouges or pitting where chrome is missing then you will want to wait for when we offer the repair service as well.

Any progress on this process?

As a matter of fact yes there has been. We just received yesterday the final pc we've been waiting for. Now it's a matter of some serious machine work and off we go.

The first pair of housings we will do are a pair of S6 housings (pics on pg 2)that came from my engine when I bought the car. They are in decent shape for re-chrome with scratches in the centre around the plugs, chatter and some wedge wear.

Of course I will post as soon as I have them done.

We should have this up and running very soon, stay tuned

Staying tuned!

Very tuned.

A bit more machine work then some welding and we should be good to go.

am so waiting to hear progress, I love driving my car and main reason I don't drive her daily is the fact that 12A housings are no longer readily available and I have 4 first gens including my sons back East

It does not appear to be an easy road you've embarked on but does appear there is a light at the end of the tunnel, keep fighting the good fight

Hahaha, here's another tease. We are trying to futher simplify things so that changes are super fast and easy. This means rethinking things somewhat but it makes machining simpler too. I am a real big fan of simplicity.

Also we should have the ablilty to chrome 8 housings at a time once the 2 housing set-up is finalised and working.

Im stocking 12a housings waiting for this to happen

glassman 09-01-2011 09:12 AM

Well I've been very busy and haven't had time to work on this. Holiday's are starting now so we will pick this up once I'm back.

glassman 11-01-2011 11:40 AM

Well we just dumped another $3000 into this. Have some parts in the machine shop now and should be done early next week. Shops are very busy here so it's tough to get anything done. We still have some welding to do and sort out other small issues but that shouldn't take too long. We'll do my FD housings first to make sure everything is working good.

glassman 12-04-2011 03:18 AM

Well all the machining is now done. We've done a mock-up of a pair of housings and all looks really good. Next week we'll get to some welding and round up some other misc parts needed. This thing will be off the ground this month barring any setbacks or problems. Don't for see any problems though as everything is really well designed.
