I'm still down with the FM butterfly GB. Just let us know the details

Kal: Looking good there. Nothing personal, but the FM stuff has been tried and tested, so I'm gonna go with those. But hopefully if you decide to go into production with your set of rails, you'll get plenty of business from those of us that haven't gone the FM option yet

Hey MXkal, you should open your own post and see how many people are interested!
What metal did you use? Which guage? (Im interested since i am currently doing my own little mud guard project with metal..)

Im definately interest, only funds are tight coming up to xmas & holidays...

does anyone know if these will put you into a non-production category in racing?
would chassis stiffening put you in the improved production, or the modified?

still keen on the group buy, just need to know where to send the cash.

I used 1.6mm stainless. It is a very high grade stainless, they use it in all sterile factories like chickadee chicken etc. I used to be a fabricator so my mx5 has alot of stainless stuff on it

Do you weld stainless like TIG style?

Yes i do TIG but none of the stainless is welded. Just folded

Sorry guys for the late reply, actually received the email on Tuesday.

Turns out that the sale already ended, and after calculating postage (without tariffs, taxes etc.) it would have rounded up to $570 if we were to get five.

they'd be still less than $700, you were happy with that price earlier on.....

i think i may have to drop out of this group buy if it still goes ahead (but i'll still be more than happy to arrange the gb).. need the funds to pay off some damage on my car.. left the 5 in the car park and some #$%&* bumped it and drove off whilst i left it there.. gave me a nice big scratch on the front bar :cry:

So the sale from FM is over, but maybe we can still get the sale price because we're buying 5 (well, 4 maybe, but surely someone else will want in)?

I remember Sliq saying at the start that they won't drop the price any further, but if there's still enough people wanting in, they might be willing to do the sale price anyway.

I would send FM the URL to this thread and ask em Marcus. I' ve heard they are very professional to deal with. All you can do is ask
