Tooling supposed to arrive today according to UPS... with that in mind they should be able to machine these on Friday...
I'll be busy at on Friday and Saturday so i probably won't get to post until Sunday... but i'll info everyone at that time. Finally... it should all be good to go. :crossingfingers:

Well the tooling arrived today... the machinist started... the tooling died...
Guess the better material is just to damn hard to machine. This project is officially stopped.
Okay guys... i'm heavily into this. $273 for tooling, $375 for material, and $350 for machining thus far. Total is roughly $1,000.00 bucks invested.
Everyone is going to get refunded... however this is going to have to come out of my pocket. Thus i'm going to refund in order paid from first to last...
Sorry about this guys... it's been super stressful. I've tried and officially i'm about to lose a lot of money since i tried to go so far in this. Should have stopped when the tooling was so expensive.
If you can afford to... please let me know if i can refund less. Not making anyone do anything but i've tried a preproduction process for everyone in which the only way to get it off the ground was to have your support. Now it looks like i could be busted big time for this. Any and all help would be appriciated.
The refunds will start on Monday! Again, sorry guys... wish i could have come thru for everyone on this.

nothing from me... i'm already taking a hurt since the money has been spent and i have to pay it back now. I'm actually going to be dropping everything now. It's just to much to handle without having huge pockets. By the time i pay everyone back i'm going to be over 1k in the negative!!
A couple of people are allowing me to pay back only portions and that is appriciated.

Okay guys... had a few issues with paypal... account got locked.
It's all cleared up and should be opened within 24-48hrs according to them...
A couple of guys have asked for the material in order to do this themselves. If you'd like i can provide you with the part number for the material so that you can order personally. Just pm me.
As for refunds... some have offered to take less back(thanks bigtime) but i haven't heard from most. I'm reposting the list with your refund wishes... please edit it to state full or amount of refund please.
Thanks,
Boe

To add... i also have the CAD and DXF files for the spacers. If you guys want them let me know as that will save you a tone of work and cash if your having these custom machined.
