If you could have the little plate that blanks out the unused holes made up as a set with the hubs I reckon this would make the sale much more appealing!
At least it would to me. I know that this plate was made specifically to fill in the unused holes without welding - something that Gee's original engineer specified in the xbread kit.
The rest IMO is easy to do for a decent DIYer with access to a local machine shop (for the likes of the larger ball joint on the front end).
My only issue with this kit is the need to build front drive shafts to accommodate the EJ hub. More a PITA than anything!
Cheers

Mr Toonga is sending me his sample, I believe shipping last week from WA, but not in hand with me yet. As soon as I receive it I'll send it off for quotation.

Send me a PM if you want to borrow mine. I have the xt6 backing plates too.
I would be keen to get hold of a plate to blank/ adapt the holes to fit ej calliper hangers.

Wife, 'Oh that's nice, it can be our sons first car'
Me, 'Yes I will make it strong and safe' ...and fast, but there is no way a 17 year old is going to drive it.

I don't want to peeve too much, but do any of you think you could start a separate thread for this reasonably unrelated stuff - and delete your posts in this thread ?
or conduct your business through PM ?
Ive not said anything for the last 3 pages as i thought eventually some-one would start a separate thread - but that has not happened
THE EOI is still open for the adapters, and anyone who got to this through GooGle will think the EOI is not on.
SO If you are looking to do something else, then I'm all for you doing it, just perhaps in a specific thread rather than this one ?
Its not too much of an effort to start up a new thread and copy your posts across, I'd do it for you but some-one may get their nose out of joint. I'll delete this post once this thread is cleaned up.
cheers
UPDATE
Thanks to dfoyl for deleting his off-topic posts in this thread- NOW if some one who wants to be responsible for it could start up another thread that would be good. Its idiotic for me to author a thread for others.

dfoyl has started an EOI thread here http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/top ... 00-5x1143/

Yeah, fair call. I suppose now days there aren't any admins or the usual forum police keeping an eye on conduct and keeping everyone in check.henpecked wrote:I don't want to peeve too much, but do any of you think you could start a separate thread for this reasonably unrelated stuff - and delete your posts in this thread ?

Thanks
