Any update on these?

I thought they were ready to ship about three weeks ago.

PMd Hans on these yesterday morning. He was still waiting on the threaded rods. His supplier said they were shipped last Friday. He's hoping they arrive by today.

I ordered 8" long threaded adjusters, and they sent 4"

I sent them back that day, and there were delays in getting the correct 8" length part.

As soon as they get here, I will take an afternoon off work to get everything packaged and out the door the same day. Sorry for the delay.

Hans,

They look fantastic. What diameter and grade are the threaded rods, if you wouldn't mind sharing? Just curious about their strength.

Cheers,
Chris

The threaded rods are 1/2" mild steel with a zinc plating.

There are only a couple places that make them, so while they are coming though an intermediate, I believe they are from the same supplier that Midwest Control uses:

Thanks

Alright, we finally have definitive news!

Tracking shows the threaded rods will be here Thursday. I have no idea why or how they got held up, but they will be here soon. I am going to take some time off in the afternoon to get these packed up and on the way.

I havent seen the rods yet, but I did get a note that stated they replated the rods for us, as they didnt like the quality of the original plating. So at least there is a small upside to everything.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, I am including upgraded installation hardware for all orders as a small bonus and token of my appreciation to everyone for their patience.

I am looking forward to getting a set on my own car this weekend!

Thanks
Hans

Threaded adjusters are in!

I am assembling and packaging all the Ott-links today, and will get them over to Fedex tonight or in the morning.

Thanks for your patience. Hopefully everything is now sorted out if there is need for a second batch.

Thanks
Hans

First production links assembled and packed.

If you have any special shipping requests, please send an email to hans@projectninellc.com

I have the fronts designed, but would need to have enough interested parties lined up make the first batch.

Thanks,
Hans
