ALL - Roll Bars
P.J.,J.A., & Roll Bar Orderers,
Sorry, a little past daylight. Fellas what we have here is a special order of DOM .120, 2" roll bar material. More than enough than I need to fill all your orders.
But, always a "But" when it comes to Cobras  I had to order the special material, plus one size smaller to mount the "Down Bars" to. That one piece took extra time and still didn't come in right! Nothing I can't fix with a Lathe though.
But, again with the Butt. In my haste to try and get caught up I put the first bend on an unknowing bind. (A 10 Ton Ram doesn't really notice a minor Bind!)
Ultimately I destroyed one end of my "Follower" and chipped the other end.
Soo, I have ordered the parts ASAP and I will start to bend.....a little slower this time until I have them all done.
I am sorry for the delay.
DV

Gee Whiz Ed, how much would you charge to make me some SS side pipes?
That bender looks impressive.

Ed
with that bender--get or make up some extra pieces because you are pushing over the capicity for 2 in steel tubing and the followers are too thin and will break again. Compare them to the other side and you will see how they are not as strong.

Jerry,
This Bender is made for these tubes and then some. Now it doesn't really like the thick wall (Top photo) but the thin tube bends like a straw. If I can I'll have the Mrs. take a short video of the "J.D." Bender bending a full hoop when I get the parts in!

OK ED---look where your part broke--it is the thinnest place in the piece--wonder why it broke there????? My bender uses much more robust tooling and a 27 ton ram for bending roll bars size tube

DV,
no worries here. I'm still trying to get the latch to fit on my passenger side door properly. Looks like the metal braket that attaches to the frame is too long and wont mount to the latch properly. Also, the door sticker isn't going into the latch as nice as I would like....so..... got some mods to do.

DV,
Looks like you just need to make the bend longer and then cut it off after. Unless you just missed the stop and thought you were where you wanted to be.
I have NEVER done that before. Yea right, HEHEHEHE.
Makes for one of them #$&*#$@^% (darn) moments.

Any status update?
Ed,
Just wondered if you have the tools repaired now and if you can tell me when the roll bars might be ready?

badvenom,
I'd love too.....I'm on hold too! awaiting for two Cobras to go through and finish shortly and scared to death they will be here before the parts! Waiting for a call as of last week. Assured me they would call ASAP and before shipping.Every Monday I hope for that call

DV,
When you get that part in you should draw up a sketch so you can have them made if it breaks again. You could probably have them made faster then ordering them through the MFG.

Jc...
Amazing offer.
62 yrs old and just about all my finger nails are gone. 
Actually I was told it was going to be sent this week OR THEY would call me with a delivery date. (This is so unlike this company! Usually I call and before I hang up the phone "it's" here! I blew up the hydraulic pump last year, sent it in to be fixed...they replaced it completely and had it back within a week! |

FRUSTRATION RUNS DEEP IN THIS FAMILY!
I called J.D. (MFG) today asking WHERE / WHEN? Much apology's but it seems the part that I have managed to destroy has a lot of company. As a matter of fact they have NOW totally re-designed this part. Actually, thank goodness they started this weeks ago and they thought it would have been done and "out" long before now.
Bottom line, it is done (The new model/version) is done and they are filling all back orders! They assured me, because of the weekend coming up Wednesday at the latest, but it could be as early as Monday.
Here's hoping. Guys, I do not know if a small learning curve will be required, but at any rate I will get them made as quickly as I can. "Asking me when" is a effort in futility. They will be done as quickly as humanly possible!
MY APOLOGY'S TO ALL!

Roll Bars
Ed,
It's been ten weeks and when I first sent the money on June 26th, all in advance of course, you had assured me 2-3 weeks. I'm not sure I understand the last post. You say they're inventing a "new, redisigned part", but why didn't they tell you that 3-4 weeks ago when you originally ordered the replacement? I know you advised that asking for ETA would be an excercise in futulity, but really, I think I really deserve to know when the roll bars will be completed.
