Rad Hoses

[Chris]

no worries  8)

Obviously price pending, the more hoses the better for me


If im renewing them then it will be good peace of mind that they are all done for that particular area,visible or not but ill just go with what the majority reckon as the price could jump up.


I can always source the rest from official parts folks.

[Chris]

Yes, it would be good in some ways to get them all done but to try and keep costs down and because deadeye doesn't have those two hoses for under the tank then we thought it would be ok to leave them out.

We can see how much the kit will cost and if it's reasonable then we can always sourse the other two pipes for them to add to the kit too. the origional pricing will give us a good idea of what to expect though. 

Unless anyone else wants to donate the two pipes that go under the tank?? 

[His Dudeness]

I just remembered I got a thermostat off ebay a while back and I think it came with the two hoses. I'll have a look.

I have them I'll send them on to you Chris

Hey Darrsi, sent you a pm buddy.

In answer to your question, it's highly unlikely!

Fair enough, just thought i'd ask 

[Dead Eye]

Chris, if you want, I'll post my pipes on to you so that you can send them off along with the ones from His Dudeness

[Chris]

Hey Deadeye,
you could do or his dudeness could send his to you and then you send them all to sfs? would save them coming all the way to shetland just to go all the way south again. If you put a returns address in with them then they'll send them back to you when they're done. I'm happy to chip in on the postage costs for you guys if you like.

Chris

[His Dudeness]

Should I send the two I have on to you then DeadEye?

[Dead Eye]

Seems sensible, I found a box big enough for them all without being absurd in size ^^

[His Dudeness]

Ok I'll do that then if you PM me your address I'll send them on tomorrow. The two I have are only short ones so they shouldn't add to the package that much. If it goes ahead and the new hoses are made I reckon DeadEye should get a discount on the price of the new ones for sending originals. What do ye think?

[Chris]

Hey, That's ace guys. You're heros! 

Yes, i'm happy with you 2 both getting a discount for helping get the origional set together. We can see what the cost is for the kits and tooling cost first and then decide if we decide to get them made, (If not i'm happy to send you guys some beer money for your help).  8)

[noggythenog]

Sounds good so far


Since i'm doing bugger all but on the list for original order then yep i would agree to the guys doing the organising get a decent discount with their saving spread out amongst the others.


If people wanna be skin flints about it then they can jus wait til this blows over before ordering but then again who knows it could be a one time offer.plus if nobody originally did it then we'd all be screwed.


So thanks.

[Chris]

Yes, I have no idea how much the origional order (of 10 kits minimum) will cost but I imagine that after the origional kits are made then they will charge more for any additional kits, unless we did another bulk order sometime in the future. The only thing being that those of us paying for the origional kits will be spreading the tooling cost between us too. Glad this is all moving along quickly though  8)  Good work team

When we get the original costs then I'll pass them on back here and i'm sure we could haggle a bit if they're a bit on the high side 

[His Dudeness]

sent those hoses on Deadeye

[Chris]

sent those hoses on Deadeye

Good stuff, I'll wait till Deadeye has sent them on to sfs before I email them to let them know it's on the way and start further negotiations

Hi all new here lots of great info on this site, and came across this post and I would be up for buying a kit if the price is right, just one thing though and please excuse my ignorance but if the fazer has the thundercat engine wouldn't this kit http://www.stpmotorsport.co.uk/index.php...iece.html# work? I'm thinking the rad might be mounted differently though? Just a thought

[Chris]

Hi FZSCai,

Welcome to the site  8)

I'll pop your name on the list  8)  keep checking this thread for updates.

The thundercat kit sounds like an idea, not one i'd considered but pretty sure the 'cats engine etc is layed out quite differently... I'd happily be proved wrong though if anyone else knows?? I'm not sure that link is to a thundercat's kit. I had a quick look but their website is quite poor so couldn't actually see a thundercat specific one.

[noggythenog]

Hey cai,welcome,


You've gone & said the fateful words of doom but dont worry bout it,everyone seems to think the same when they get a fazer, according to what i've read so far it isnt a thundercat engine although may share some parts,it is confusing & i'm not sure i fully understand it yet but it seems that reviewers havent helped by stating it plus the haynes manual being the same for fazer/thundercat.the link was for the r6 too but maybe there was a thundercat option on the website you posted.i do know one thing, i've never heard or seen anyone even mention using thundercat parts on their fazer or using the thundercat engine or whatever so im pretty confident they arent the same.


Anyway that aside it's good to have another possible as i think the guys organising needed about 10 for the initial order & they'll get a discount for doing the organising.


Happy hunting, theres so much useful stuff on her

Sorry chris, we posted at the same time :rolleyes
