Yes jim, just sorting it now, can you pop down monday at all??
i understand what your saying but i phoned the snow week and they said mines was one of the ones sitting waiting to go. paid on the 16/01/09 which i think was prob one of the first to pay. i dont really want to phone again as i know there busy, if someone could maybe give me a pm that would be greatI was going to say, the majority of the problem is with returns either being late (once they fit their new ones they are less bothered about returning theirs promptly) or in such poor condition that they need a good soak and scrub for a few days.
Must say, Jamsport is doing a brilliant job dealing with such numbers an the short lead time.
I feel so much for the poor bugger who's having to do all the work.........
If most of the customers had to do the job themselves, they'd be charging A LOT more and making people wait a lot longer........its horrid work!
No probs mark, glad you got them ok.desperate for ph2 172 inlets back now people! i have jobs booked in that i may have to cancel unless i recieve inlets by wednesday
mikey cheers for sending me yours, appreciate it!
no one is forgotten about, just waiting for inlets to be returned to me so i can send them back out again.
I do believe they are running a Special Offer price but its certainly no match for this price.
the lower section is the same on all, its the upper section thats different.
If someone in the south east region wants help fitting they can come see me, or if you're prepared to travel to the south east I'm also willing to help!
I can do it in about 2 hours. If you're using the ptfe gaskets, there is a lot of trial fitting involved, as you have to file one of the bolt holes down a fair bit.
You will definitely need a socket adapter that allows the ratchet to be at a different angle to the socket, think it's called a universal joint, like this one:

Some of the bolts that hold the inlet on are just a nightmare to get at, so one of these is essential if you ask me.
You'll also need a decent trolley jack to support the engine while you remove the left hand engine mount.
Heres a comprehensive list:
-13mm socket
-10mm deep socket
-16mm deep socket
-16mm shallow socket
-10mm ring spanner
-3/8 drive universal joint socket
-3/8 drive ratchet
-3/8 drive extension pieces
-Flat blade screwdriver
-Trolley Jack (ideally with rubber plate)
-Axle stands
-Wire brush (not entirely necessary but helps get any loose material off the inlets before fitting to avoid it going in the inlet ports)
-WD40 (always comes in handy anyway)
-Rags (to wipe off the ports after removing the standard inlet)
OK,
Update on this, due to me not having exchange units back im limited on sending things out, this has led to a few people getting frustrated, which is totally understandable and i can see why people waiting would be upset, i would be. however from my point of view i organised a group buy which was set on a set amount of people, i have had 2 people ask for refunds, i can see why but if people pull out then the cost of the group buy goes up....
where do we go from here?
