Ace, Darren, as always.

Spencer, could you drill & counter-sink holes to use flat-head screws up from the bottom?

With all the battery-box bracing there, shouldn't hurt.

Chazz may have the beginnings of man-flu when we spoke via email earlier he was not good (i reckon the brit lads took it over to the clash with them....)

Anyway, straps have been test installed completly to all cars this evening, we are making a couple of "slight" alterations and then the completed CAD file is off to production first thing in the morning. IF all goes according to plan, first batch will be made tommorow and shipped and could well be with us by Friday!!

We are reccomneding the use off the AE Blue thumb screws for the front installation (we have purchased EVERY pair CML had/are having this side of new year) but users will need to use a longer 4-40 threaded rod of approx 20mm, this will be advised in the instructions in the packet with the strap.

First batch is of 50 only, we have already had around 15 emails and 25 pm's from people interested in these, so when they go online we suggest be quick....

Am I the only one who thinks it's gay ? (nothing personal here, also not to the designers)

i think a 1.5mm drill bit should do the job fine then use a 4/40 tapping screw
