n2ka has started shipping a limited number of the brackets to some peeps in the US.

I think he wants to get some feedback on how easy they are to install and if there are any minor fitment problems before he sends the rest out.

I would say that we are probably about 3 weeks from getting ours.

Will keep you all updated.

Here is what we are getting:


n2ka is in the process of writing some install notes too

I have PM'ed n2ka about when they will be shipped.

EDIT:
Noah says they will be shipped out in the next 24 hours!

Hmmm, delivery from the States has been pretty good of late. However, I'm not sure if they will leave them at my place or at the Post Office.

I won't guarantee next week

The brackets have been dropped off at post office in the States - but it doesn't look like they have left the country yet

Judging by recent deliveries, I think I will have them in my hands by the end of next week

If you want to keep a track of their progress, here is a link to the tracking number:

OK, the brackets are in Australia and have cleared customs in Sydney. I expect to see them Tuesday / Wednesday next week!

Would those who have paid for shipping (if you are outside Queensland) please PM your address so that I have it ready. They will probably ship out on Thursday or Friday

Cheers all

Going to go and pick up the brackets on the way to work tomorrow morning WOOT!

Meeting up with Marc tomorrow to hand his over so he can get stuck into some other projects on the weekend

I have spoken with phunkdust, trent188 and FpR_SP20 but am still waiting to hear back from Justin_SP20. Anyone know another way to get in touch with him other than the forums?

Picked up the brackets from the post office this morning

Marc and I will go over them tonight and maybe take some pics

By all accounts from peeps in the States they should be quality

And my thoughts on these

As this was a groupbuy for 6 aussie members, naturally they would be sent in a box, what I wasnt ready for, was they were already pre-packaged seperately, nk2a on Mazdas247 really blew my mind!

Anyways, being curious and all, I opened mine up straight away, and was blown away once more at the product itself, not a single flaw. Included were the 4 brackets, nuts & bolts & washers, even a Flush as %#$! sticker, cool!

Anyways, pics of the brackets









For $50, this has got to be the best modification for any BJ 323, even if your not into modifying

So with these now here, I can get to work fitting up the lip, woot!

Cheers
Marc

n2ka is selling some individually on Mazdas247

I imagine they will sell like hotcakes though
Although it might prompt him to do another run in the future

Does anyone have contact details for Flinn (FpR_SP20)?

I haven't been able to get a hold of him and I still have his Bumper Sag Fix brackets ready for him to collect.

If anyone knows of another way to let him know that would be a big help.

Cheers
