Dual 7" Servo - Page 8

Sorton · #**141** 22nd November 2011, 23:00

Mike,

Please put me down as a definite for zinc servo, mild steel plate and clevis. Money ready when needed.

Sorry about my last post - it does not read well does it? In future I will make sure I engage brain before putting my fingers anywhere near the keyboard.

Thanks to all for your efforts on our behalf.

Please count me in for a zinc servo, mild steel plate and clevis pin.

Can pay by cheque or Paypal.

Based on the price quoted by MBM, the stainless boosters could be an extra £75 including Import tax, etc. - (if there are 6 takers).

It struck me that they may offer chrome at a price closer to the zinc, so I am waiting for them to come back and advise their best price.

Mike.
Please put me down for a firm order for Zinc servo + Clevis + "Plain" Adaptor Plate (i.e. servo holes only - will sort my own mast cyl hook up). I Can do cheque but need your address s.v.p. Can you post your phone num or email address and I will contact you direct?

To echo previous posts many thanks for all the effort put in for this excellent mod. Peter.

Hi there, sorry for the late reply, I have been away!
OK, I can pay by PayPal or bank transfer, dont seem to have a cheque book! and for preference would have a powder coated servo but zinc is fine if it helps.
Let me know how and when!
Thanks for all your help
John

Already expressed my interest but if you want confirmation. please count me in for the zinc servo plus adaptor plate plus clevis pin.

Didn't build mine so unsure what needs doing regarding the adaptor plate.
All I know is that its an existing metro servo like most of you.
Will have to dive down and get my head near the pedals one day soon to see the lay of the land.

Thanks again Mike and payment will be immediate to you by whatever method you want including paypal.

oaktree11 · #**147** 24th November 2011, 07:59

GOO, I see that I am the only one asking for powder coat on your list, don't worry, change it to the plated one to make things easier.
Thanks
John

GreatOldOne · #**148** 24th November 2011, 08:54

Will do.

I'm getting the feeling that there won't be enough orders for stainless, either - so Patrick and I will have to fall back to plated to ensure we get an even number of orders (as they come in packs of 6)

At the risk of over complicating a simple process - I do like satisfied customers - I have now received confirmed additional costs from MBM as follows:

Zinc - expected cost £75
Powder coat Black : + £10
Chrome : + £25
Stainless : +£75

Jason/Patrick would you be happy to go with Chrome? I would quite like to go Chrome - can we get 3 more takers?
If not I would go for powder coat.

Subject to MBM confirming the technical spec. of their unit is as per the one Jason has tested I will order a batch on Monday 28th.

Regards
Mike

Patrick · #**150** 24th November 2011, 17:04

That's fine by me

chrome or powder coat.

Stuart · #**151** 24th November 2011, 21:10

I would prefer Powder Coat please.

GreatOldOne · #**152** 24th November 2011, 21:14

GAAAAAHHHHHH!

No sooner do I edit the list, it changes again!

Right, off we go again.

(Sure you wouldn't like a chrome one, Stu?

)

GreatOldOne · #**153** 25th November 2011, 09:20

Ian Papworth has changed his preference to Chrome. I've updated the order list

mashtun · #**154** 25th November 2011, 14:05

After Mike kindly measuring up in his Cabrio and me comparing my Sierra servo's position against pics of the M50 as fitted in Mike's car I think I might be wise to go for the 7" dual unit.

I like the look of the chromed one but do MBM make these in the US or is this the Taiwanese chrome that Duksville advised steering away from (as noted earlier in this thread)?

mashtun · #**155** 25th November 2011, 14:53

I've been pointed at http://www.mbmbrakeboosters.com/inde...&id=3&Itemid=9 and see that MBM do make their own products. Happy to commit to chrome then

, with a stainless adapter plate (master cylinder fixing hole positions TBC). A clevis fixing won't go amiss either.

Thanks to all who researched and tested this!

Mark.

Thanks for the commitment to Chrome - I believe that takes us up to 5 now. I'll therefore order 6 and hope to persuade someone to take the final unit - Jeremy has yet to make a final commitment - hint, hint!!!

I'll order 6 chrome and 12 Zinc boosters on Monday.
Stuart - I have not forgotten your preference for a powder coated black one: no promises, but watch this space

Mike

Mike · #**157** 25th November 2011, 16:15

Would anyone like to buy a nearly new Dual 7" zinc booster - tested only once by Jason!

PM me if you, or someone you know, would like to buy it at a reduced cost when we get the new delivery.

Two boosters sounds better than one, but it just won't look good alongside a nice shiny chrome one!

Mike

peterux · #**158** 25th November 2011, 16:16

Jason/Mike,

looks like the number is sticking at 16 in total. I guess we could order 18 and all share the risk on the two spares so that Mike is not out of pocket or put the two spare on MOC classified and on eBay. (MOC classified advert, as somebody might see it in Pitstop who doesn't use the forum.)

I don't wish to confuse your list, I still would prefer zinc but i'm willing to go chrome if you need to make up the numbers.

thanks

Peter

Thank you for your offer. If no one else comes forward for the 6th Chrome booster it would be good of you to take it.
I am happy to order a couple of zinc spares, as I think there are at least two other Cabrio owners who will be persuaded to follow our lead.
I have also penned an article on our research and test of the servo for David Cunnington to include in the next Pitstop, and hope that will prompt some more interest.

I''ll leave Jason to decide how he records your interest!

Mike

GreatOldOne · #**160** 25th November 2011, 16:34

I've updated the list, and left Peter's preference as it is for now - considering that the order is pretty much fixed now, and we can allocate zinc or chrome when they get here.
