Default Last Week for Line Locks.........

Until late May (after the 25th). After talking to some people and looking at the schedule, it's just not doing to be conducive for me to try to make the 8 hour trek home from Maxwell AFB back to Scott AFB every or every other weekend while I'm at the NCO Academy. That said..........


This week will be the last week I'm taking orders for line lock kits until I return home. I have parts on hand to do up about 6-7 kits, so I shouldn't run out of stuff. If you don't want to wait, I need the order in by Friday so I can get them out on Saturday or Monday the 14th before I head out.

If an order inadvertently comes in while I'm gone, it will NOT be able to be filled and shipped until 25 may at the earliest.

I just want to make sure that anyone on the fence, considering ordering, or who doesn't know and wants one, gets taken care of. I'll be around during the productivity hiatus, but will be unable to actually do anything in terms of making kits.

The good news? I should have a little upgrade or two coming in late may after I return home. Upgrade to the standard kit, and I've been convinced to go for the braided line and -an fitting kit too, so look for that sometime late may/early june.

As always, thanks for the support everyone!

All,

I'd like to offer a very sincere thanks for the patronage and support thus far. Over the past two days I have taken orders for kits that has depleted my current stock, and with me departing on Monday there's no time to get more stuff in. Thus, I will not be taking any orders until I return home in late may (approx 23rd) unless the customer absolutely wants to order and is willing to wait for the kit.

I'll be around to answer any questions that may crop up between now and then.

Thanks again everyone!

I was supposed to have a meeting with a local guy today, but he had a higher priority engagement come up. I'm hoping to meet with said person tomorrow or Friday but that remains to be seen yet.

As soon as I get my hands on a car and check some clearances and line tensions I'll be able to see if what I had in mind will work.

If anyone wants one, I have enough line fittings to do ONE more line lock kit before I leave. The only catch is that you'll have to order the solenoid from summit yourself.

I'll include everything BUT the solenoid for $110 shipped. The solenoid will run you $50 from Summit to your door. Just let me know. This offer expires on Sunday and is first come first served for the ONE kit only.

Thanks everyone!
