Good news, everyone...



Today I installed the axle extensions that my friend made from my

drawing and they worked out perfectly.  I have some photos from

the install posted here:



http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/upgrades/20070118/index.html#Installation_of_new_extensions



Now that I know they work, I'm going to do something stupid and

since some people found high machining costs, I'm going to coordinate

a group order for extensions that look like these.  I had at least

2 quotes come back with costs significantly lower than what other people

were saying.  My earlier drawing might actually be more expensive to

make than the final product drawing too.  I'll have to re-quote it to

see if pricing will be any lower.



My present quote that I'd go on was:  $17.75ea (at) quantity 40 and

$24.50ea (at) quantity 20. (20 pairs and 10 pairs respectively)



Now, what I'm going to do it this:   If you want these extensions

for your plane, I'm only planning to have one run made up, so get them

now.  Let me know by Wednesday night, and Thursday a.m. I'll order

them from the machining company and get the hardware on it's

way to me.  They need to get the aluminum stock, so there will be

a small delay before they start making them.

You do not need to send payment right away...Yes, I know, that's

stupid, but I'm planning to write a check for well over $1000 to

cover the production, but only if the buyers are willing to commit

to paying for them.



What you'll get:

1 PAIR of Axle entensions, all drilled and tapped, 3-3/8" long so

they don't require the large flat washer.  They should directly

replace the original part.  You'll also get (3) AN5-6A bolts,

so you have one as a spare, for bolting them to the axle nut.

You'll also get (3) MS24693C298 screws for the outer ends, that

will be 1/4" longer than original so they don't back out and fall

off as easily (mine almost came out...use loctite!)  And, I'm

going to send you (3) MS24665-292 cotter pins, and (3)

MS24665-362 cotter pins, so you have all of the hardware required

to attach them.



Your job:  Drill your existing holes on the axle nuts out to 5/16"

and deburr (I deburred mine today because I miss all the deburring

so much  )  Then assemble the AN5 bolt/washer to the extension and

torque.  Then, use a #40 drill through the guide hole and drill

out the hole and the bolt to #40.  Pin them together with the small

cotter pins, install the axle nuts and pin with the large pins.

Then secure the fairing with the 1/4" stainless machine screw.



Since this is something I'm not doing for profit, I'm going to

make it easy on myself.  They'll all be picked up at the same

time, and I'll throw them all into USPS Priority mail at the

same time.  I'll split the costs of everything evenly, and round

any costs up to the next highest dollar.  When all is said and

done, I'll tell you if the total with shipping is any higher than

my expectations...which would be between $45 and $55 per pair,

all complete to your door with the hardware.



One exception:  Since this isn't for-profit in any way, I'm going

to make it easy on myself and limit it to the US continental 48

states only so I can use USPS Priority mail.



Again, I'll only be doing this group order one time, so if you want

them, now's the time.  After this order, if for some reason I'm

crazy enough to do it again, I'd add on extra cost for the time, and

it might be harder to get a good list of people together to keep

the price down.  If for some reason we can't get 10 people for

this order, I won't bother, but my gut feeling is that we'll probably

easily make the 20 pair (quantity 40) level.  I just want to do this

because after installing them I know they worked well for me, and

it'll keep you all from spending a fortune on one-offs from your

local machinist.  In the spirit of "no up front money" that

we have today, you can send your payment either via paypal

or by check after you get them.  I know everyone will pay up, because

we're all nice people and if you don't, I'll tell the list on you. 

If you pay by paypal though, add a little to cover the fees that

they charge.  Tips are not required, but will be accepted if you're

just so happy after getting them that you really want to. 



If the price for any reason looks like it'll be over $60, I will not

proceed without contacting everyone who got on the list first.



Email me at my email address if you want to get on the list.

Tim, throw me on the list.



  I would also like to add my services to this very nice offer.  For our

brethren in OZ and NZ that may want to jump in on this, I will be

willing to act as a proxy for you on two conditions.  First you have

been present and active on the list so I recognize you, and second I

reserve the right to limit the number of people I proxy this to.



  This is only for Australia and New Zealand.  If someone else wants to

handle the UK or another part of the world more power to them.  Oceania

is enough for me.   So if you are in one of those two locations and

want a set let me know and I will ask Tim to add them to my order.  You

will pay whatever I pay + the cost of shipping to your part of the world

and you can pay me via paypal also.



  Of course this is assuming Tim doesn't have a problem with it.

Thanks Chris, I added you to my list.



  Just a reminder to anyone in AU or NZ that is ordering these through

me, make sure you tell me and not just Tim.  If I don't know about you

when Tim and I compare lists it will get dropped if I can't contact you

before the order is submitted.



  I am paying Tim on your behalf so he doesn't have the headaches and

then you will pay me after you have received it.  Essentially Tim is

getting these for me and then I'm selling/shipping them to you.  I'll

ship them out and email you with the final cost.  No one will pay me

back until you receive them.  As of right now I have the following:
