Official Group buy for adjustable pedal fix

[Curless]

Here's the deal: If we get 35 pre paid orders I can sell them for $75 each,if not it will be $100. If everyone orders that has said they will we are good to go. If not, those that still wish to order can just send the other $25 and we'll get as many as we need. So I'll hold out for a week or so on ordering the first batch to see if we can hit the number. Here's my pay pal, we will start with the $75 price. I will start a paid list and add each name as they pay.

mer@curlessautorepair.com is the paypal INCLUDE YOUR SCREEN NAME IN THE MEMO!

If you prefer not to use paypal you can snail mail me a check or money order. Chris Curless

Thanks Chris

P.S. If anyone does not feel that they can do this repair, if you can ship me the pedal I will take care installing the gear for you for free. All you pay is the shipping of the pedals to and from.

1ST RUN IS SOLD OUT

[ctrlraven]

Is the price including shipping and paypal fees?

[Curless]

Yes, shipping and paypal included. I can't imagine that either will be that bad. USPS it will easily fit into a $5 box, $2.48 in paypal fees by my calculations...

[Hg M75]

Paid, and PM sent.

[TUXrauder]

I will be at my desk later today to order my 2

[Haggis]

Is this a "metal" gear replacement fix in place of the nylon gear ?

[Curless]

Is this a "metal" gear replacement fix in place of the nylon gear ?

Yes it is, made of brass.

[N40GL]

All paid up.

[BigCars4Ever]

Money sent (from rcnsglio@yahoo.com) Thanks!

[vegasmarauder]

Payment sent for 10 of them (I have a lot of friends with panther cars with stuck pedals)...Thanks!

[MO Merc]

Send money to your pay pal account. Thanks for making this site one of the top reasons to own a Marauder.

[Marauderjack]

PM'd you about alternate payment method......no reply??:confused:

I don't do PayPal anymore........ :cool:

I'm in for one!!:beer:

BTW, I replaced the whole damn pedal assembly a little over a year ago...tested it and NEVER ONCE USED IT until today.......BROKEN AGAIN WITH NO USE!!!:argue::mad2: This is absolutely ridiculous and FORD should be paying for every one of these defective parts!!

Curless, did you even speak with Ford about their useless "adjustable" pedals??:rolleyes:

[dickmerc]

I am in for a new gear - will hit your PayPal link

Thanks for all this work.

Jack, I don't have internet at home so I did not get your message until right now. I will PM you shorlty.

Yes, I called the OEM manufacturer for our pedals and they can't even discuss it due "exclusivity clauses"

[Curless]

ATTENTION!!! You need to include your screen names in your paypal orders! I am having a hard time figuring out who you are! Please include your name in the comments area thanks! Chris

[Marauderjack]

You willingness to undertake this overwhelming feat is to be commended Chris!!:beer::bows:

Using "gift" usually eliminates the fees.

man... i cant wait to actually USE my adjustable pedals.. lol

[Rockettman]

Was there ever a posting on how the new gear is to be installed?
I remember reading how there were a bunch of different ideas on how to keep this new gear in place.

Yep! That works well, but some, including myself don't have that.

[GrandpasJalopy]

I've just sent money along for two. Thanks for putting this together.

[Curless]

We are at 31 as of right now. I just got back from the gear guys and I was told that the initial order of 35 can be bumped to 50...however, after that the price is going to increase due to brass prices:eek: So...do you guys think we can get 50 sold? Its up to you, your money will go farther if we can sell more the first run. He says we have enough material for 50, but after that the next run may have to be bumped up...he did not say how much yet.

[Ms. Denmark]

I still need to order mine.

[Curless]

Please double check the list and make sure your name is on it if you have paid. Also there are 15 more that were on the first list that have not ordered yet. With Vegas ordering 10, we are close to the 35 we need to get the good pricing. If the 15 others order it would put us at 46 and there would only be 4 left at this price!

[MyBlackBeasts]

The money has been sent!


William, you have sent $75.00 USD to Chris Curless.

:D :D :D

[ORODS]

Money Sent, Please put me down for 2 sets, 1 to Repair Bad Pedals still in Car, 2nd to Upgrade New Pedals, which haven't been Installed Yet.......

Gear shop says by the end of the week I should have some. Not a promise but they are pretty good about time frames! Once I get them I will not waste time I will ship them quickly.

I'm not on here much, and just found this thread. Too many threads for just this one subject.

I will drop off a check for you this week, OK? I'm sure you can sell all 50, especially since it seems to fit so many models. I predict your next order will be for 1,000.

Bam! Your in!

[NATEHAWK]

I havent been on the site on paying attention to whats been going on...What exactly is this fix and what does it do? Fill me in and I may be in for order...

[1 Bad Merc]

Natehawk-Chris is getting a run of brass gears made to replace the plastic ones in our adjustable pedals. These plastic ones tend to degrade and break thus freezing your pedals in whatever position they are in.

We have looked for years to get a fix for this and Chris was able to put it together.

My pedals are not broken but as these cars age I cant think the plastic gears will last to much longer so I will change them out to brass ones and have ease of mind. These are a limited run so you need to get them while they are hot or be left looking in from the outside.

[Curless]

44, that means there are 6 left in the initial run. Then we have to renegotiate pricing for another run.

[Filby'sMarauder]

Money just sent. Glad to be added to this list!

Brian

[Curless]

45...5 more to go and they are all gone!

[Vortech347]

Any reason they are brass instead of aluminum?

[GreekGod]

Any reason they are brass instead of aluminum?

I believe I was told brass was only about $2 more each than Al.

==

[Curless]

Any reason they are brass instead of aluminum?

The guys at the machine shop and I agreed that the lubricity and anti galling factors of brass would better serve us.

[Curless]

The first few are done, they are working on the run right now. Got delayed a day or so last week due to another project in their shop. I will go grab these and start sending them out asap!

[J-MAN]

Chris,

THEY ARE GONE! The first run is sold out. If there are more of you still interested we can start another buy in. I won't know the pricing for a little while yet but we could get a list started if you like.

[Ms. Denmark]

:up: Great job on this project! I'm looking forward to my Curless Cure.;) We should start another list. What's the minimum run?

If you look at the piece of paper that I sent with the gear you'll see the link is printed on there as well.
