yes, scroll up to the OP. yours shipped the 13th. A majority of people have already received theirs. A handful of people are still waiting. We are at the mercy of USPS quality which appears to have taken a nose-dive off a cliff. keep me posted.

Please pm me. Envelope arrived today but the sorting machine destroyed the envelope and the envelope is empty. No washers.

This happened to me as well yesterday, I received the damaged envelope and it was lacking contents.

Brad,

I got resolution on this, I'm sure you will as well. USPS sucks, but that's not anything anyone doesn't already know.

Yes, you should have them tomorrow. I took a gamble on the letters and USPS let me down. I think they sent them through the sorting machine despite being stamped as non-machinable and paying the extra fees.

At this point I am at a wash with washers lost vs if I had just paid to send them out priority to everyone. You live and you learn. Newer batches are going out in cardboard envelopes and Tyvek envelopes with card-board inside. That should at least keep the washers from being stripped from the letter in the event that they do ignore the non-machinable stamp.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but, know that I did send out replacements to everyone affected.

I sent my washers out in a small plastic baggy inside a padded envelope.

Late to the party, any chance that more of these will be made or anyone know where I can source them? Thanks.

I don't think I'd have another batch made up until I had ~ 10 people confirmed. This way I can send out packages all at once. I think you and one other person have expressed interest so far.

ThePoonTang · 03-24-2021, 12:28 PM

I would like to be included on the next group buy

e92zero · 03-24-2021, 01:07 PM

I am definitely in it for the next one. Please keep me in the loop. Thanks in advance!

For those interested in this upgrade, start watching for the Meyle control arm bushings as they're universally sold out / back ordered. Looks like BW has the camber bearings as well in stock but those will sell out too.

These spacers from the first production created quite the demand and thereby shortage.

Worthwhile upgrade to eliminate all the rubber for tracked cars.

Pls check the original sphericals conversion thread. I think there are a few more brand/source options now for the spherical bearings, not just Meyle or Lemforder.
