We're almost done a design. Basically its a outer aluminum shell with the custom spherical bearing inside. By the looks of it, we'll be able to make it a sealed unit, which should alleviate some issues as mentioned with grit, dust and sand. The unit itself will be corrosion resistant.

Please keep up updated! I would love to see some pics of the prototype as well.

There isn't any commitment from the public. We've shelved this for now.

I was interested in this product as many other ppl please explain what you mean when you say not enough commitment from the public?

JBP

I should rephrase, there's no PAYING commitment. We'd need to see a definite interest with money backing the idea.

Don't blame you guys... the LSJ crowd is a joke when it comes to commitment.
They'll always say "I'd buy it"... then when it comes down to money it's always "too pricey".
I guess that's what happens when the general demographic is kids.

those ones have the p.u. in them, I was talking about the solid metals one that they were talking about making but decided not too.

i dunno, your talking a $100-200 part here, it could go over well. everyone said the same about the tvs blower, when an atractive package was put together (like ott is doing) there is a huge interest, a bunch of people paid in full, a ton of others with deposits, and thats a $1700+ item. the biggest thing i find is people want a solid product that is proven before money is put down, and companies (not just jbp) want people with cash in hand to buy an untested product before they design it.

Same ****... different pile.
The TVS GB is not a good example. The people that got in on that are, for the most part, the more mature crowd around here. I'd safely say that most of them were planning to buy a TVS within the year anyways.

On the same note... to engineer and produce a $1700 blower, is not a large task by any means for a company like Harrop, who deals with this kind of work on a daily basis. Meanwhile, JBP is a small company with a small design team. To design and produce a part like these mounts wold be a gamble if no one would honestly buy it. JBP never asked people to buy a junk product... they asked if people would buy a fully tested product.... something that they have been known to do in the past (find me something that hasn't lived up to a decent standard, and don't ******* mention that header, cause it fits!).

if anyone is still looking for good C A bushings consult GM they have access to solid caputured.... VERY RIDGID! love them

Area47
