Too late to add to the group buy I assume. Anyone interested in doing another one?

Hi Scott,

The switches should arrive in a couple of weeks if all goes well. As posted, they were not told this is for a FAL on P-cars, which could have resulted in a price increase on the quote-I'll try to avoid telling them details when I go pick them up and if asked will say it's for vintage car air pump or something.
If all goes well and these arrive as expected, someone could organize another group buy-some members bought more than one switch to have as spares for the future as they seem to fail after a few years-

I just received an email indicating that the switches will arrive on Thursday April 27th-
My plan is to take the drive there to pick them up in person, because part of the drive(A1A) is a nice distraction. There was a historic and catastrophic rain event here last week, north of me, 30" of rain 😳 It caused horrific flooding in the Ft. Lauderdale area-and as a result, all fuel delivery trucks were kept from bringing gas to stations-unimaginable the consequences, panic at gas stations for over a week and only today, about 7 days later I was able to fill up my car 🫤
But by next week I don't think there will be issues, if the weather is fine I'll go up there. Otherwise UPS to my house which would delay it by another 2 days-
I'll go through PMs because I recall one or two rennlisters forgot to post their real names and address-in any case, these will be shipped out soon 👍

The switches arrived! 😀
I will make an attempt to go pick them up in person, but the storms have been crazy in the last few weeks. Otherwise it will be shipped UPS to me-
I have one member who did not send me full name and address-I PMd him yesterday

I told the rep that there may be another order-there are other threads about the FAL failure, people that didn't see this thread, and were late to get onboard.
The minimum order is for 5 units, and as stated, I avoided mentioning what the switches are for, and P-cars. I won't lie if asked, but will say it's for vintage cars 😂

Beautiful weather, no storms today, so I drove up A1A, Blue Angels flew over practicing for the upcoming Air Show, it was a fun drive 👍
I’ll go to the post office and send these out tomorrow
The rep was nice, but I’m guessing if I hadn’t contacted Mr.Weiss in Germany I never would have been able to get these. He hinted they don’t sell yo the general public- I did tell him there could be a future order, and as posted, minimum quantity is 5.

Before I install mine, I think I’ll crack open the banjo bolts at the shocks and actuate the FAL to air it out-
mine was still working, but it took a few tries to get the Lift light to go on, so it’s time to replace it👍
The plastic bag has the caps

Best,
John

The mechanical life of the switch is listed-in any case, it's now cheaper than an oil change 😂
