Sorry to make you edit the list again, but please put me down for a FMB as well.

I'd like a RMB too, but I see they're already sold out. Is there gonna be another batch at some point soon?
*Edit*
I just saw the post a few pages back about this probably being the last batch. Poop. If anybody wants to back out on a RMB, I'll gladly take your place. =)

I just had some finances stuff go down...so I can give up my spot for the RMB. Hate to do it too.....

 

Wow. Thanks Joe, I owe you one. If you're ever in the Sacramento area, lemme know.

Well, shoot!

Damn it, I'm always too late for these things - do I have any chance of getting on the list as an alternate for a MSMB (or a BP) and a FMB?

 

I believe the BP goes to 30 spots now? Corky updated that there was additional materials for 20 bps ordered. So it either goes to 20 or 30...

Hope you can get on the alternates list for the rest like MR2Dave did.

The BPs go out to 20pcs.

 

CeeDap, does that mean that you need 10 more people on the BP list before you begin construction?

 

No - I am going to build 20 more Breastplates, and I expect to carry some of these in inventory until they sell out.

The MSMBs and RMBs will go out for powder coating after we come back from the 4th of July holiday. The FMBs will follow about a week after.

 

It's like X-mas in July/August.

Thanks again for the opportunity.

 

How big of a difference does the brest plate makes in overall rigidness and reducing squeaks? does the ride become smoother?

 

I noticed after I installed my BP that I had some extra rattles but no shake, and a whole lot more knowledge of where the limit of the car was around the bends. No more surprises of chassis flex, and I can go over the nasty roads Texas has for us without feeling like the cars about to snap in half.

So yes, rigidness is greatly improved
Squeaks, need to be taken care of by you. My car still rattles like crazy <_< but at least it doesn't feel like a toy anymore

 

Put me on the list for a breastplate.

There is still one FMB that isn't sold.

All of the braces are ready to out for powdercoating, except for the BPs, those will be finished up in a couple of weeks. Once the coater lets me know when the braces will be finished I'll start issuing invoices thru Paypal, and will expect payment at that time.

Thanks again for all of the support.

Corky

 

Put me down for a BP (ordered online).

 

Got it Mike -- and thanks!

Corky

 

AGH!!! Am I too late for a MSMB? I've been wanting to upgrade from my BP for years now.

FMB is not compatible with 04+ right? If it is compatible, I'll take one of them as well. I thought there was a post somewhere saying it wasn't needed, but.. I feel like I want something to tie the front low end together.

edit: MR2Dave/Corky: I'd be willing to have our stuff shipped together, if you want to meet up. I imagine shipping is expensive as hell for Corky. I'm in El Dorado Hills, and drive along 80 between Roseville and Grass Valley every other week.

Corky: Would it help if I shipped my BP in for upgrade to MSMB? It's uncoated, if that matters.

I can put you on the list as a standby. If somone backs out whomever is next in would have the chance to purchase.

There is no sense in fitting my FMB onto the '04s with the factory supports.

Thanks for the offer to use your BP, we may talk later, but right now let it sit and see what happens.

I can combine shipments, but I'd have to see if everything would fit in one box, if not than it's not worth the effort money wise.

Thanks

Sounds good. Please do add me to the wait list for now, and if that doesn't work out I'm up for BP->MSMB upgrade if you are.

I figured I'd offer combined ship in case it would save you (or us) cash. NBD if that's not the case.

Ultra Racing makes a front lower brace that replaces some of the tubular OEM stuff on '04-'05 cars: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ULTRA-RACIN...t=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a1bd9ef47&vxp=mtr#ht_4482wt_1396. I'm not aware of any other mfgr who makes the part - Corky's wouldn't fit if you wanted to. The MX5 people say they feel a difference in aftermarket FSTBs vs. OEM tubular FSTBs.

Thanks for the tip. Totally forgot about UR.

 

What is the suggested sequence to get for most of you ? I have the following bracing pieceinstalled on my 2000 spyder. What is my next logical piece to get for further improvement ? Of course, it would be nice to buy all the pieces if I won the lottery ! :lol:

Thanks !

Okay, someone back out! :^)

I'm really, REALLY hoping someone decides to back out on the MSMB list. I want one very, very badly. But if no one does, you DO have me down for one of the BPs instead, right, Corky? Getting very excited about putting this stuff on. B)

I am hoping that the powdercoater can finish these up by mid next week, 'cause I don't want to call him and have to shake my finger at 'em :angry:

Corky:
As a satisfied customer, and a fan, I'm gladdened by the response you've gotten to this production run.
I hope it will not be your last production run. Your products are a definite benefit to the Spyder community, and I'd hate to see their demise.

Thanks for the post Oldman - I too am heartened by such a response for this go-a-round of braces.
This site ever ceases to amaze me at both the knowledge and the dedication to not only the Spyder, but to fellow members and enthusiasts. For a car that has not been produced for many years it still has a committed following.

Thanks again for the support!!

Corky

Just a quick update!!!
I just received the braces back from being powdercoated.
I will need a couple of days to get them organized, fasteners gathered, and double check the shipping boxes.
In the meantime if all purchasers care to send me their email address via PM or email I'll start issuing invoices, and taking payments. I anticipate to start shipping as early as Monday or Tuesday.
This list is the latest revision (I hope)

(edit) The BPs will be finished in a week or so from now. They are not ready to go to the coater yet.

breast plate

Please add me to the list to purchase a Breast plate (by the way, on your web site you describe it as a Brest plate). I need to replace my old one as a stone apparently hit and broke one of the cross pieces. This is a great investment!

 

What the heck, put me down for the last FMB as well.

May as well have a full matching set of braces.

 

Please add me to the list for the brest plate as well.

Thanks.

 

just wondering if it is possible to make a midship member brace with the ends that connect to the frame rail to extend the entire length of the frame rail like with the miata butterfly braces? or were there advantages/disadvantages not to besides slightly added weight?

That's an impressive brace!!!
Do you have anyother pictures?
