I was going to call Howard Coleman but you have that covered .I called the shops today to check if everything will be good to go .They will return with an answer ASAP .The price of the steel has gone up but I can still hold the price at $125 IF the other shops do not go up .I can not drop the price if the numbers go up .There is only a small mark up on these and some of that is used up in travel Gas going from shop to shop in three other towns to deliver and pick up parts . I will check on the bolts today and the mailing packages .There is more to this than most people ever think. Plus I must take them them to the post office ,more gas and pay PAY PAL .

Ray - I didn't notice your location until just last night! Are you a German resident/citizen or US Military/Civilian stationed out there? The reason I ask is because you may end up needing to pay a little bit of additional for international shipping if you don't have (or can access) a US Post Office box with an FPO/APO, AE location at a local US Military base. The FPO/APO addresses receive shipping from America as if they were located within the continental US, however local German addresses will be subject to international shipping fees (I was stationed in the UK for almost three years and I had all my US car parts mailed to my APO Address, not my local street address).


David -

Oh, I absolutely understand that there is much more going into making this brace kit than it would seem! I'll def do whatever I can to make it easier on you since you ARE doing us all a great favor in turning this thing out!

So just to clarify David: You will be needing payments up front (definitely) and you'd like to also get phone numbers for the people purchasing them so that you can contact buyers as needed. Correct?

i believe every modded turbo rotary should have David's brace. every motor i build has his brace... when available.

since the pan flange/engine block mating surface is below the oil level, oil leakage at the pan/block is always a challenge. by milling reliefs for the ribs into the brace risk of lekage is greatly reduced.

David's did his brace right.

if the rib reliefs were not milled into the brace the item could be sold for less than half price. of course it would not work properly as it would only contact the ribs.

since torque on the pan bolts is limited to 100 inch pounds do be sure and re-tap all bolt holes so you get an accurate reading.

leakage prevention is of course only half the story here. David's brace also adds additional stability to the block and, again, it delivers a major advantage over the non-ribbed brace as it has so much more pan flange contact area.

i do hope things work out for not only another production run but continued availability.

I will need phone numbers so I can contact the buyer to get a promise to buy when the parts are ready .I do not want to collect any money untill I have the parts in my hands.That way I can be sure I can deliver as I promised .If one of the shops were to fail then no buyer will be out any money and worry about a bad deal . My customers always get a worry free deal .

Here is the latest information .The cost of everything is up from the last run.I am still selling the braces with all needed bolts and the 0-ring shipped for $125.If some one buys two or more then the shipping will be less and the cost savings will be passed back to the buyer.So two braces will cost less than $250 but I do not know how much less .The order HAS been placed for the braces to be made .They should be ready for me to pickup in 4 weeks ,that is the fastest I could BEG for .I will order the bolts today and start packing them and the 0-ring as soon as they come in.It will save me paypal fees if you will pay by secure check and I can have your package addressed and ready to go .Be sure to send your address with the check .If you use pay pal and send it before the parts are ready I will be able to have your package addressed and ready as well .If something goes wrong with making the parts I will return any prepaid money ,those who deal with Garfinkles Motor Works know there is no fear . The brace can be installed any time so do not let the 4 week wait effect your schedule .More information will come as I get it and thank you for your interest .This is the best brace on the market and worth the wait ,just ask Howard Coleman .
