Hi Peter when do you think you will be ordering these & will it be the same as the downpipes we pay when you fined out the final cost?

peter thomson

04-09-2009, 04:26 PM

I have to discuss how payment will be made to Selbys and then obtain a quote for shipping when I have some numbers. We are past 20 now with OZVR4

06-09-2009, 08:05 PM

I'm hoping that Selby's will accept payment from each individual rather than me collecting the money as this is an international GB. Also this has to be a 20+ GB to obtain the best price . I'll be emailing them to find out more details about payment this week. I also want to make sure that we have enough interest that we do not fall below 20 as that will mean we loose the discount

Beastlee

Now is a good time for me, I'm still good for this if it happens soon.

peter thomson

08-09-2009, 08:53 AM

I have spoken with Selbys and they would want payment for all the bars as one transaction. Production time for the bars would be 2 to 4 weeks so we are looking at 3 months for delivery after payment. I'm waiting for a quote for delivery from Oz to the uk .

Any more interest.

nuster100

08-09-2009, 01:48 PM

Really stupid question, but what impact do these have on handaling?

Can they be teamed with polly bushes?

Jay

peter thomson

08-09-2009, 02:11 PM

Have a read of the 2 links in the first post and yes polybush will further help to reduce body roll

peter thomson

peter thomson

09-09-2009, 08:08 AM

I have had a quote for delivery to the UK and if I have understood it correctly it comes out at about £20 each. Delivery from the port and taxes to be added to this.
So to put this in perspective if you bought the bars directly from Selbys as a one off order then the cost before any taxes are added in the UK is
£408.18
GB price delivered to the UK is
£203

peter thomson

11-09-2009, 08:56 AM

If there is no more interest I would like to start collecting the money to make the order soonish. The cost to delivery to the UK can only come down with more buyers as the quote covers us to 1 cubic meter and 1000kg.

Peter, unfortunately one of my KADs is leaking brake fluid whic means I have tobin them and buy some more. I'm not sure I can afford both right now as I must change them ASAP. I can afford the ARBS next month but I fear I may miss out if this is the case.
I'll see how the finances are when I get home and let you know but for now I think my request needs to go on hold.

peter thomson

29-09-2009, 08:48 PM

We seem to be having problems getting a good price for delivery to NZ so I asked the shipping agent what he could offer. This is his reply based on 4 sets going to NZ

"It depends on which airport in NZ, 3 main ones Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch.

Also depends on final weight and volume but as an example and this is freight cost only Sydney – Auckland you are looking at an approximate freight cost

AUD 120.00 Minimum or AUD 1.30 per kg plus additional surcharges on top of this and local origin fees. This is based that the length doesn’t exceed dimensions as given.

I need to send some money across for the ARB's and the braided lines I'm getting so you can send moeny to me then I can handle the rest.

peter thomson

30-09-2009, 07:25 AM

It will likely be paypal to me as bank transfers are very expensive and if you use the gift option in paypal there should not be any charges. I then when all the money is collected make a single payment for the bars to Selbys.
Payment for the shipping costs can be sorted out when the bars are ready or on delivery depending on what delivery method is used

Hey Peter, got the PM.

Question, are the amounts quoted in the PM the total cost and include the appropriate delivery costs for each person or is that amount just the cost of the bars converted to the local currency?

just thought i would ask, has anyone removed a front anti roll bar?

i ask because i was told that the transfer case had to come out to remove the front anti roll bar. can you confirm that this is not true.

peter thomson

18-11-2009, 07:04 AM

No need to take off the transfer box going by the guide

bradc

18-11-2009, 07:51 AM

You need to remove the driveshaft, exhaust and the main brace from the front to the back of the engine bay though and angle the engine down to get it out.

Davezj

19-11-2009, 02:50 PM

You need to remove the driveshaft, exhaust and the main brace from the front to the back of the engine bay though and angle the engine down to get it out.

cheers for the info Brad!
brad i take it when you say driveshaft you mean what we in the UK would call prop shaft running from transfer case at the front to the rear diff at the back.

not a simple job for everyone then.

i have not been under the car for ages now, i had asumed it would have just slid out once the 2 mounting points and droplinks had been disconnected.

bradc

19-11-2009, 06:55 PM

Yep, from the transfer case to the rear diff.

hardarse

"Just a quick update to advise that we have all your 62 bars now packed into one pallet almost ready for pickup. We are still waiting on the front swaybar fitting kits and I have been advised from my bush supplier that I should have the 60 bushes here on Monday the 30th NOV"

I'm bored of these already and the delays mean I will have to remove my propshaft/transfer box twice (I'm planning a full service in early Jan) so if anyone wants to take over my order for what I've paid out already then please let me know.

bradc

08-12-2009, 07:11 PM

You don't need to remove the prop shaft or drain the transfer case unless you are removing the gearbox from the transfer case.

Just do the transfer case oil at a later time.

It isn't Selbys that we are waiting for but our contact in Oz who had to pick them up and sort out the delivery within Oz and then the bars to NZ and UK.
I'm already $300 poorer in this GB due to the exchange rate so will not being doing one like this again

I will help you with that exchange rate difference.

Peter,

I will help you with that exchange rate difference.

Thanks Mike but I go into these GB's knowing I may have some extra expenditure and I accept that so there will be no need for any help but the offer is very much appreciated. In the end I will still have a set of bars at a better price than having bought them on my own direct from Selbys.

Hey guys.

I have to say thank you VERY much for being so patient with me as I packed and re-packed (twice lol) the UK and NZ bars.

It was a massive task, something that I was not prepared for, but foolishly thought I was. I didn't think it'd turn into the headache it did. Again I thank you very much for being patient. During the time of getting the bars to them being sent, I have been through a bad 3 year relationship break-up, all the sh*t that is associated with that (shared accounts etc), the diabolical christmas time and moving house. All with very little free time due to teaching schedule and unusual work hours.

Once again, thank you VERY much for not lynching me!!!!!!!

PS: Since this excercise I've discovered all freight companies are useless

peter thomson

08-03-2010, 10:50 AM

Hi Paul I had just pm'd Kat today to get hold of your new email addy to thankyou for all the help you gave us sorting the bars out when you have been having a rough time yourself.

NZ bars - as I thought the delivery costs to NZ included half the value of the pallet pickup. I will be sending this money on to Brad, $190 Aus to cover this extra cost. As discussed in pm to all the other GB guys I will cover this expense in the UK as well.

UK/Europe Bars left Oz on the 6th with arrival at a UK port on the 13April approx.

Beastlee

09-03-2010, 09:05 AM

Thanks for keeping us update Peter.

The new dates are a shame as if they had been a week earlier I could have got you to ship to a UK address and taken them back with me. I'm sure the dispatch dates from yourself will be a little later than that so i'll not worry too much about the fact I'm not back in DE until the 18th.

peter thomson

09-03-2010, 09:08 AM

Yes sorry Lee. I expect it will be a few days by the time they get to me and I despatch them but there is always a slim chance the boat will be early.

09-03-2010, 09:12 AM

Peter, great news that they are underway. I would like to pay my part of the extra shipping costs incurred, is it $190 Aus divided by the group buy numbers? If so its not really that much for people to help out.

Quite unfair of you having to stump up this?

Cheers

Mike

peter thomson

09-03-2010, 09:26 AM

Thanks Mike but as I said in pm to you all I intend to pay this myself and I am even more determined to do this with recent events. What I should have done is asked the the other forum members for help who benefited from the GB for a donation towards the cost.

"deleted as the mods will do it soon enough".

It is $380 Aus all together

I tried to fit mine today but run in to a problem. Nothing bad but something to think about.

I'm going to have to order new droplinks that fit between the bars & the wheel assemble.

One at the back rounded off on me on the inside bolt & had to refit the old bars cause I could'nt get it off & one at the front started doing the same so I tightend it back up & left it.

Thought I'd post it up. Maybe something to think about getting before you strip it all down & have the same probs as I did.

Peter/ Netherlands buyers, if the abrs can get to me before the weekend and the buyers are at Full Speed I can bring them with me, perhaps a little less cost on delivery?

Delivery is 3 to 5 days so I don't think that could be guaranted.

Best to have a pair of Molegrips to hold the rear nut /yes And a Hex socket for the front.. Wire brush and penetrating oil to be used 1st. /yes

Then no need for new drop links /HmmmI tried that Glen & burst the rubber on the back one with molegrips. There's not much space in there for the molegrips.

why do you need mole grips? Just use a long spanner and rest it off another suspension part to stop it moving..then undo the front bolt...?

The flats are very narrow so there is little to get hold of even with a good quality spanner and they round very easily. Some of these parts may not have been touched since the car was built so may cause problems even after cleaning.
Also as it is a ball joint it is not willing to rest against other suspension parts but will try it's best to twist out of the way and cause rounding as well

I used a small ish pair of molegrips and they fit in with no issue. The nuts are unusually soft and even after careful cleaning and oiling, the edges just round off.

Beastlee

15-05-2010, 09:38 AM

That really annoys me with bloody couriers, why insist on a number to call and then just reject delivering becasue of an address query. Just call the dammn number on the sheet!
Not only that but surely if you've provided an address for delivery they should know if there's a problem before they collect the dammn thing!
The address I gave was my work address and is a small secure unit at the back of the main camp, we never have any problems with delivery unless they try to deliver outside of 7AM-7PM Mon-Fri. I have my home address which is 3 miles away from work, same postcode just a different street if thy want it.

[sorry for a bit offtopic]
I was pleasantly surprised today by a courier company (DPD) that phoned me just minutes ago telling me they've tried to deliver a package from gemany but nobody in the nearest 7 (!) houses was at home and if it would be alright if he would put it over the (very high!) garden door (he told me he was over 2 meters tall). As I know what's in the package and I know it can take a hit I told him it's fine (it's dry and sunny today and my neighbourhood is considered quite safe). Extremely friendly chap!

Most of the couriers I've met are good guys that work hard for their cash. It's when things go wrong at depots which can be so frustrating, esp. dealing with someone on the phone that sound so uninterested.

Beastlee

18-05-2010, 02:59 PM

Shame I've not had the same level of service from DPD, their depot is 10 mins away and I've not had any calls from them despite having the bars since Friday. I've now personally contacted the German HQ and they still haven't had the decency to respond to me. I wouldn't mind but DPD have delivered to me personally at this address before so there's no excuse really.

Peter, however has been fantastic in spite of all the issues!

They've only bloody arrived! They have a sticker dated the 14th (the day they arrived at Huckelhoven up the road) with the complete address on them so I don't understand their issue. Never mind, at least I have them now! I forgot to order new drop links though, doh!

Mark, see this link

They connect between the roll bar and the damper. They are sometimes very difficult to remove so its just much easier to grind them off and fit new ones. Also they are a wearing part so it's not a bad idea to replace them as a service item anyway.

Mark,

I noticed the postage is £13 to me regardless of if I order one or two sets of these. Shall I order two sets and we can split the postage?

MarkSanne

19-05-2010, 01:11 PM

Sounds like a plan Lee. But while looking at the camskill site I've found there are also the front drop links and the rear bushes. And although they do not offer the front bushing (MR272646) I'm pretty sure that as soon as I take the original arm out this bushing will also be worn out. It's probably a few pounds-part and I hate to do things twice. What's your thoughts on this and the front drop links + rear bushes?

The front bushing (MR272646) is the part mentoined as 40699 on this picture:

The bars come with front and rear bushes, as well as oversized clamps to acommodate them, from what I believe. I haven't opened the package yet to confirm this, perhaps Peter can tell us.
I had accounted for front and rear links in my basket and with 2 x front and 2x rear the postage is still only £13 to me. I just checked how much it would be to ship to you from here and it's 8,90€ with DHL which means it's not much use to you in reality.

you might want to do a how to, as i think it will be a little more difficult than you think to change them over, the rear should be farly simple but the fornt might be a bit of a different matter.

I'm intending on doing mine when I do the exhaust, one less thing to be in the way for the front one! I've only just Amsoiled up my transfer box so I think it might be a case of disconnecting the propshaft instead of the box itself.

got my mate to help me out cause i dont have a clue but they are both done now make sure you buy both sets of drop links makes life a lot easier to just cut them off the back is simple it just falls out but the front exhaust was dropped bottom engine mounts where removed so the engine could be dropped a small amount and the lower arms was removed to help create enough room to twist and pull the bar out so without my mate my car would be jacked up for a long time. it took about a day to do

I am quite concerned about this as I'm not in a position to get it fixed should it happen to my car. I'm almost glad I didn't manage to fit them on Wed. I'm going to hold off fitting now until further reports come back as to the condition of other peoples arms. I will get the new links fited though as I'm sure they'll cure my knock at the front.
Revisiting the thread at OzVR4 has highlighted the weight of the new bars to me, which I had noticed seemed very heavy when collecting the parcel. I'm not sure I want to cancel all my weight savings out for what could potentially be minimal improvements. There's been little feedback on how the handling has been affected yet we already have two major component failures directly attributed to them. My car seems to roll very little and is quite firm a ride with stock suspension and ARBs so I'm in no hurry to fit.

Mark 4

Looks easy enough to weld some reinforcement pieces in there.

I am actually planning to fit my rear bar today or tomorrow so I may beef up the mounting point while I am at it.

peter thomson

12-06-2010, 10:45 AM

I think there has been a fair bit of positive feedback. So far even though I have only the rear fitted it feels much better cornering than it did before. I agree with Mark that it is not a difficult job to reinforce and there is always the reminder that often the parts are failing not just due to working a bit harder than they used too but they are in some cases probably up to 14 years old if they have never been replaced

Beastlee

12-06-2010, 12:18 PM

I hadn't seen the feedback, normally it's a case of 'I haven't really driven the car hard but it does seem better'.
I agree that it is probably down to 14yo parts being loaded more than the ever have but my issue is that I can't easily get it re-inforced nor replaced without great expense. I don't need the upgrade but it was something that was nice to have, the car handles far better than I ever need it to. It's already cost over £300 and I don't fancy paying that again to fit new lower control arms, let alone start messing with the subframe. If I could get them reinforcement done cheaply and easily then I would have much lesser concerns.
