Angus Smart Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 yeah sweet, i think alot will go for that 100 upgrade seems worth it in the end as there is only a few pounds weight difference needs 2 more confirmations hopefully these people will get back to me soon. And no worries Michael hope to catch up with you soon! hopefully i'll have my car on track in August.

I don't know where he would be getting the shafts from, probably just fishing, because I am the Aust., and NZ distributopr for ACPT and they know nothing of that deal. BUT, having said that, I can certainly beat that price for an order of 10. Spread the word Paul." i suggest you ask him for a price if you want to save further dollars.

Angus Smart Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Paul the Australian distributor Has just contacted me about this now.. And he has since contacted James @ Acpt in the states. to find out what i was doing. we're now looking at $1400 Australian Delivered for the 2000hp rated shaft, and can Now do this on less than 10 order. i'm still awaiting an email from him now to confirm this. so the price is now even lower than before and dealing with the Australian Distributor instead of the James In the Us.. i will get back to everyone about this when i know more. thanks for getting him onto me sic200 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/208678-group-buy-acpt-carbon-fibre-tailshafts-any-model-1400us/page/4/#findComment-3868187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
