Group buy: 7AGE forged rods

[cuzzo]

interested

need to know final price once sorted.

I can't see final price being more than 620 on your door (that being generious with shipping costs and rod cost)

How this will work once i have a thread up on toymods (waiting for permission)
I will have 2 or 3 weeks, at that stage price will be confirmed and numbers taken, spec of the rods will be available before putting a deposit on them.
Once deposits are taken (not sure of how much deposit you will need) they will start being made about 30-60 days lead time, will keep you posted on how there going,
Once they are all manufactorerd they final payments will be needed and you will get your rods.

Need a minimum of 5 sets to be ordered (i already have 3 or 4 sets confirmed)
If your not in with deposit intime you dont get a set made for you, simple enough, just becasue if we wait for every one who is 50/50 will be waiting till Xmas

possible to get the normal 4age rods at a cheaper price as part of the group buy???

i know the 4age rods sell for $480 RRP

[merc-blue]

No not possible,
The group buy is just to setup a run of 7A rods, there is no discounting, just making up numbers
If you dont want to spend 480 on a set of rods then you dont need them.
Prepping a set of late 4A rods would cost you more than that.

that is a good price, but,...........
what size pins do you propose you making them for---18, 19 or 20mm?
will the shipment be coming to individuals or 1 person in australia?.
any allowance for freight insurance in your estimate?
does estimate allow for sea post, air post, FEDEX to the door, or what?
thanks

20mm gudgeon,
As both 20 and 16V pistons come in 20mm,
Shippment will go to me than to people as final payment is made,
price allowance at 620 accounts for EVERYTHING, and everything being on the expensive side

from the day the order is finalised you will have rods on your door within 60 days max and a min of 30 days.

im hoping this takes a little while to take place as i got no cash for a good month at least

if this goes down at the right time im gonna be building me a tuff as 7age 20v hopefully somewhere round the 200hp mark

THANKS, but can you fully answer the question. in particular, how are they coming (based on time, it could be either parcel express like FEDEX or air-post)??

can I also please ask who is taking out shipment insurance, you as buyer, or seller?

is the priced locked in at current US$ exchange rate, or will it go up & down with exch rate?

FYI, do not assume stock 20V or 16V pistons will just fit on & work. They are the wrong pin height. For example, when you fit a 20V head to 7A using 4AG flat-top pistons, you have to deck the block quite a lot to get the compression ratio correct. if you change the rod length fractionally , this is not necessary.
