Ted advises shipping will now be towards the end of May. They're flat out apparently. Patience, patience...

Still waiting ....

I have this scene in my mind that it's all complete and in the crate, and the lid's being screwed on as we speak! Ted'll probably call tomorrow.

Now you know why Don is like an expecting father.

I was too while waiting for mine.

Hang in there Don.

Question What brakes did you get?

What brakes did you end up ordering, Don? Are they larger diameter rotors w/the 6-piston calipers or stock, or...?

That's a lovely pic of the IFS isn't it Arthur? Mine will be black.

PDUB: Brakes are the stock size 40 vane ventilated (but not drilled) Wilwood rotors to fit inside a 15" wheel.

Calipers are these: Wilwood High-Performance Disc Brakes - Dynapro Dust-Boot Calipers

It was a toss-up whether to stay with the stainless pistons without the dust boot, or go to the dust boot model with alloy pistons. I figured that there'd be less hassle if I'm ever pulled up by the Transport Dept inspectors to have the dust boot model, even though both are frowned upon by our authorities.

And good news!!!! Ted emailed me this morning to say everything's ready to go. My import agent is arranging shipment today so depending on space availability on the plane, it should be here and ready for collection early next week, or even this weekend!

Light steering and great brakes! Happy days...
