I posted in this thread on 4/20, “The peener just told me that he should be able to have them finished by 4/28. It takes me 2-3 days to do final QC, package the sets individually, and package the master cartons. So, there is a good chance that I will be able to ship them out to Speed Specialty by 4/30.”
It took the 3 days rather than the 2 to finish final QC and do all of the packaging. So, I was not able to ship them on Friday, 4/30, and shipped them on the next ground shipment day, Monday, 5/3.
Sorry for any inconvenience to anyone.

Pkease don't misunderstand my happiness as a complaint. I realize that it is very difficult to express emotion in the written word, but that is why I used the smilies on the end. I am sorry you took this the wrong way. I surely DO NOT want my order refunded, I cannot wait to get the brakes on my car and I need the brackets to do that LOL Hence the statement about "Happy Birthday to me." I am going to pay for the install as my present to myself........................I guess next time I will just remain silent and celebrate alone.

Rock on. And yes, I would like an additional set if a third batch is made many moons from now

I am going to have to stick with my one set of adapters, I just sold my '00 T/A so all I have left is my '02.

Everyone, as soon as I get the shipment from Bob, I will organize them and send them out more than likely via FedEx. I will keep everyone posted.
Also...look what I found!

I think this shows what the older version of Bob's brackets look like. Not to mention, a decent reference guide for installation.
Thanks to Bob and everyone involved. I know this was not easy on any of us.

Yes, those are my second generation steel brackets. Andrew bought those exactly 1 year ago. I wish he had told me about his installation page. It is one of the best photographed install sites I have seen of my brackets, and it is the only one showing where to cut the mounting ear on the LS1 steering knuckles, since Baer took theirs down. Glad you found it for us. You LT1 guys have a little more to remove from your steering knuckles, as you will see.
Here is one of the links I provide in the installation instructions: http://www.projecttransam.com/projects12.asp It shows what needs to be cut from LT1 steering knuckles, although the installation is of a Baer system using the old C4 calipers. The links are for the pictures only. You should follow the step-by-step instructions I provide with the brackets.

Just an update, I received the brackets from Bob today. I have to go through them and make sure all is intact from the shipping.
Then I will send them out! This may take a day or two to get through.
I will send everyone a tracking number when their order ships.

Cool! I look forward to getting a number - I'll call you guys in the morning, I wish I had gotten onto the fan switch GP, but I'm going to do a little shopping if you're already sending things my way
