Ordered a pair. Curious to see how it fits with my NA RB front bumper.

Also curious, let me know. I think you've got a good shot.

It sorta fits. As shown, it is hanging on one screw but it just barely needs another half an inch of clearance. I'll just add a small slot to the bumper to make it clear.

So, where can we get these now that TSE is no longer selling to individuals on their storefront?

Noticed they were off the site as well. Sold out?

Something like that. I emailed them and they said they weren't available "at the moment", then behind the scenes I heard they weren't supplying to individuals anymore, only authorized distributors. Tarmac 88, run by Dan Howard (formerly of 949), is one of their new resellers but I don't see them listed in his TSE wares as of yet.

Ahh, I understand. Yah, I was looking for information regarding the radiators myself.

Radiators are on the site, splitter brackets are not. I can do another run of splitter brackets but it would be group-buy style, pre-order only.

If there is a group buy on these things, count me in. If not, and if Andrew has no interest in making or selling them in the future, perhaps someone could post the basic dimensions? I could easily make them for myself but it would be nice to have a starting point.

If Andrew has no interest in making them and he is alright with it I could make a batch of them for a group buy. However I still think cables behind the bumper are the cheapest, lightest, and best supports. Especially for off track excursions.

I would do them in a group buy format. Someone make the thread and make it happen, true GB fashion. If we get 10 people I'll do a batch.
