Would anyone be interested in a DIY spring strap kit?

I got my spring kits, and I can't wait to try them out! Thanks again for putting all those kits together for us!

If you end up with unclaimed kits you'd like to get rid of, let me know. I might be interested in buying another set.

Thanks again!

Haven't checked this part of the discussion board in a while - and what did I miss ;-0 Well if there are any spare kits left that will fit the Mares Avanti Quattros let me know!!!

Me too.

I'll do a count tomorrow and post a tally of how many kits are left over.

Ben, I wonder if it wouldn't be an idea to put the part numbers and sources of the kit's individual components for others to reference? That way others could draw on your experience... I envision one of those "this link downloaded 10 bazillion times" deals.

Okay,

After all the buying and measuring and cutting and packing, I've got 10 unclaimed spring strap kits left over. Anyone interested in buying them can just PM me - this thread is getting a bit unweildy.

1 pair - $24 shipped priority mail
2 pairs $44 shipped priority mail

Good riddance! Bloody things wouldn't go away. Although I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a bench drill and some Delrin rod... :deal:
