I would not recomend him. He recently more than doubled his pricing for me. The thread about it is in Off topic, titled "The second worst day of my life." His product is nice-but not nice enough to part with his $150 prices. And since he is in Canada, shipping is slow and expensive.

I recently found this company, and this sounds much more promising. Plus he is in the states, Ohio to be exact, so no worry abotu shipping. HE quoted me 15-25 dollars each. So for two, anywhere from 30 to 50 bucks. Not bad for laser cut flanges.

Well, I am by no means telling you you shouldn't get them from Farmerz24...they look NICE.

But JBP (www.jbodyperformance.com) has them for $80 Cad. They have a "limited amount" of them made, so hurry your ass up.

:P

Aaron... shut the fuck up. You are whining because you were trying to get one-off custom flanges. The 3x00 flanges are usually made in batches, therefore the price won't shouldn't go up tremendously. And, all the CAD work and machine programming is already done for them.

[SappySE107]

Yeah, and he was also quoted something over a month before he actually was gonna pay.

If someone can supply me with a CAD drawing I can get some laser or water jet cut.

Or give me a sketch and I'll go to the old plasma cutter :P

I was thinking of just buying a gasket instead of a CAD drawing...should work just as good for a template.

Well sending a place the gasket will cost you more, becuz they will need to scan that into their laser cutter. And the laser cutter takes CAD templates. So they need to scan it into CAD, then into the cutter.

It would be cheaper for you to send them a CAd image. But this isn't always possible.

[geoffinbc]

Yea thats what I mean. If you (or anyone) sends me a CAD drawing I could have flanges cut at my bros work. Water or laser.

[farmerz24]

I have them. they are 80us.. reason for arrons price hike is he wanted a 1 off set, when i got these made i got a bunch, plus the price have steel has apparently gone up quite a bit since then... can anyone vouch for that?"

[bszopi]

Yeah, I can. Steel prices have almost doubled in just the past 4-6 months. I know this for several reasons... one, I'm in the construction industry and I know that steel studs have doubled and even tripled in just the last year. Two, I just purchased an enclosed trailer, and while shopping around, almost every manufacturer has a disclaimer bout recent price increases of 40-50% due to increased steel prices.

Its all going to China
