RB5 Brass Bulkhead at last!

[jim76]

Hi
My old man finally got round to sorting out my brass bulkhead. It fits fine and weighs 40g, so a little more than the 30g of lead i was currently running. I haven't raced it yet but will feed back when i have. It is an exact replica of the kit item including the 25/30 deg kick up options.

If anyone would like one then send me a PM or reply here. Price will be £20 inc postage or £21 if you want it recorded delivery.

Apologies for pictures, i have no idea how to do close ups well!

Thanks to everyone who has replied to me. Just a little more info.

I'm happy to ship abroad as the RB5 seems a lot more popular abroad than in the UK judging by the enquiries!
price will be around £21 including basic airmail or £25 for insured, signed for airmail.

Availability will hopefully be in a few weeks time. Anyone else interested drop me a line and i will pass on the final quantity to my father next week sometime.

thanks

unfortuntely due to work load my old man had to shelve them. If he gets a quiet period then he may well make some, but as he is barely covering costs with them his priority has to go to his main contract work.
Sorry.
i will post again if there is any change.

Kim - i sent you an email as you requested, i assume you didn't receive it?

[Highjumper]

Yes, i didn´t get one! Kim.Sitensky@gmx.de

Is there anyone willing to sell their metal bulkhead? please drop me a pm.

thanks

Why do you need this? Is it common that the original brakes? Or is it for the extra 10g?

[jim76]

there is no problem with the original in terms of strength. This was designed purely for the additional weight to save cramming in weights that may fall out during a race.

[Supergreg]

yep, and as my original is broken, I was thinking of getting the metal one.

[jim76]

there is an alloy one available, details in another kyosho rb5 thread. But this doesn't add any weight over the original so not really worth the additional cost.

[Richard_Griffiths]

Do you have any brass one still avalible

[jim76]

as per post 7, they have currently been shelved. If i have any more news i will post if/when they become available.

[Richard_Griffiths]

Realy would like one how much would he want to charge to make me on i dont mined paying over the odds

Cheers

Richard

[jim76]

no idea, but for him to put aside his core work it would be alot!
i'll ask him when i next speak to him to see if he can squeeze a few out as i've had quite a few requests recently.

[Richard_Griffiths]

that wousld be great cheers

I take it still no news on these Jim.

[smokes]

wouldn't it be easier to go to a company and order a 100 of them to be made and sell them on? Either via a distributer of kyosho goods? it seems a simple enough job

cut blank, mill out profile the blank, drill pivot holes, drill counter sunk holes.
Just send a 2d engineering drawing with specs and tolerances that don push the cost up but don't compromise the quality of the product.
