Yeah, it's getting there. Doing the huge batches is incredibly time consuming, as I have found in past batches.. In any case, I'm hoping/pushing to have it all out by the end of the weekend..

Im just going off the pic righ now, but yes it looks like 0.5cm on each side. I'll double check tonight.

Thanks for the update Josh. Looking forward to getting my custom Aluminum jack adaptor

One more perspetive pic Josh for the Craftsman saddle...the outer diameter is a hair over 6mm. I would call it exactly 6mm if not for the rounded edge which makes it difficult to measure precisely.

That looks like 6 cm

Good to hear guys, thanks for letting me know..

Yeah I stayed home from superbowl parties last night and worked on this while I watch the game. All the blocks are packed up and ready to go. 15 shipped this morning, tomorrow morning another 4 should go out, and the last two are custom so hopefully they'll be machined in the next day or so and I can get them out...

Got my tracking # too. Thanks Josh!

Josh49 · 02-06-2008, 08:40 AM

Update:

- All orders minus the two customized ones have been shipped out. The Canadian orders will takes 5-10 business days.. No tracking numbers on those unfortunately..

- The two customized ones are at the shop, once I get those back I will ship them out.

- My hockey team won the Wednesday Morning League Championship this morning!!

Complete with my head first dive/mid air wrist shot to put in a rebound to put us ahead with 2:30 left in the third period, followed by a hard crash into the boards.. I didn't know whether or not I got it in, but when I heard our bench going nuts, I knew.. What an awesome game and end to an extremely intense season..

nsanbyker · 02-06-2008, 11:31 AM

Congrats on the championship!

Thanks, what a rush. Unfortunately, I think all the adrenaline has died out now, I can barely keep my head up any more..

Can't tell if thats a serious question or not, so I'll answer it assuming it is..

This is a huge hockey town I found out. Between all of the colleges and universities in Boston, there is enough Division 1, Division 3, club, etc alumni floating around to make for some incredible hockey leages. You can pretty much play everyday of the week here, morning, night, lunch, whenever you want. And the level of play is phenomenal..

Dam I would have loved 4 of these to stop the plastic from being crushed when going on lifts but 160$ is a bit too steep.

If you're lifting the car with all four jack points, the loading is a lot more uniform and even (compared to lifting one corner). You could probably just put a material such as wood to take up any local deformation of the plastic jack point from the lift. I'd worry about that plastic piece breaking a lot less in that lifting scenario..

Hope this helps some.. Josh

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
