If you ever decide to make an adapter for a Zetec, I’ll buy one.

In case some you haven't seen it yet, I am making a batch of passenger side mounts using Jon's as a template. http://www.wihandyman.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46145

just curious, would anyone be interested in powdercoating for an additional fee?

i would need one in hand before they will quote me at work, so this would be an add on once they come in.

Depends on how much it would cost, but yeah, I'm interested.

hrmpf. That means I'd have to, like, keep my engine bay clean. I dunno....

so thats three at least? i'll find out a price and send a mass PM as soon as i can. usually they require the part in hand to price it out, but maybe i can dig it out of them...

[therieldeal]

We have reached the total cash value of 10 deposits (4 paid in full, 2 deposits), so i'll definitely be paying the deposit on 1/22 for 10 plates. We have over 10 "interested" people right now, but without actual deposits for more than 10 I will only be ordering 10 as it is the minimum order.

If you haven't paid your deposit by 1/22, but you can come up with the full amount before the buy is over (assuming your spot hasn't sold), you can still get in but I'm raising your price to $280. The same goes for people who are late making their final payment... your price will go up. The reason for this is, once I pay the deposit for 10 pcs, I'll be on the hook to pay the balance for all 10 pcs - even if nobody wants some of them.

For people who are wanting to jump in on this late, you would be able do so at the $280 price, unless all 10 slots are already filled. I WONT BE "HOLDING" SPOTS FOR ANYONE AFTER 1/22 WITHOUT A DEPOSIT, so being on the list won't mean anything unless you paid up.

I will give a 2 week notice for final payments, same as i did for the deposits.

not trying to sound harsh but i have to CMA

[neuspeedescort]

its a business transaction. you are giving more time then a lot would.

well I want to include as many people as possible without dragging it out forever, i figured 2 weeks is a reasonable time period since some people only get paid bi-weekly.

Additional options - Finishes

*Just a reminder for those who haven’t paid yet, deposits are due next Friday, 1/22.*

Some people expressed interest in having their adapter plates powdercoated, for rust resistance and color. I am adding this as an option, along with some plating options. I am going to have the design revised ever-so-slightly to remove the corner I had to grind off to clear the FWD clutch slave, so that will be done prior to coating.

Powdercoating - your choice of color - $25 additional
Zinc (clear or gold) or Nickel plating - your choice - $45 additional
Both - $65 additional (save $5)

The additional amount can be added to your final payment, or made as a separate payment for those who are already paid in full. Be sure to include in the notes exactly what you want (color for powdercoat, type/color for plating).

For the powdercoating colors, I can do all your basic colors but nothing fancy like metal flake etc. They are gloss finishes only. Because powdercoating is thicker than plating, I will have to mask off the dowel pins, plug the bolt holes, etc. These areas will not be coated and therefore could still theoretically rust someday. If you want an oddball color PM me about it with a pic/description and I'll see if we have it. No, I cant do an exact color-match to a paint chip or anything like that.

The zinc or nickel plating will cover the plate entirely and result in the best overall corrosion protection. It would be an Electroless type plating. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroless_nickel_plating

If you are a high roller, I can always powdercoat OVER the plating, to give you a fancy color + complete corrosion protection.

Any questions about the above, just PM me.

PS: i did also inquire about stainless steel, but the price would make your heads hurt!
