In my kit there is:

Drain plug (I haven't checked, but it looks magnetic I think?)

I understand where those all go.
What are the two metal "tubes" for? They sort of look like long washers. I assume they go somewhere on the oil pickup, but before I drop my pan and get started, I want to know what everything is.

could they be 2 drain plug washers??

The drain plug does not have a magnet.

There are 2 extra drain plug washers included but I am not sure what the tubes are you speak of, they didn't come with the pan whatever they are.

Should be hearing back from the anodizer today or tomorrow I expect.

I was there yesterday to drop off some fuel pumps. The manager was out at lunch, so I didnt get to talk to him, but from the doorway I did see my batch of black anodizing parts hanging on the racks in-between stages. So I know they are working on the stuff and once they get that far it generally goes really fast.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully if the black pans are in process the blue pans are nearing completion as well.

Thanks Phunk I'm all sorted now:tiphat:

Sounds like it is going to make it just in time for my next oil change. 1500 miles to go.

Damn. Those blue ones look nice!

Spooler 09-10-2015 07:56 PM

Check that out. Mine is pertier than yours. I don't care if they are side by side.

Mine is black. Although the blue turned out really awesome and all my theme is blue.

Charles, when you're ready to start shipping repost that link so I can pay:tup:

The link has changed to only accept new orders, so I have to manually process orders where the deposit was paid.

I will need until Monday to get caught up though... I just got a decent supply back from the anodizer and a LOT of it was spoken for and needs to be photographed before it heads out too.

Heres a couple semi-edited pics of the anodized pans, have to finish cleaning up the white background I think. Hard to tell on this junk monitor I have LOL.

ban25 09-10-2015 11:27 PM

They're beautiful!

Spooler 09-10-2015 11:28 PM

Next project, build a custom intake??????

phunk 09-10-2015 11:46 PM

Anyone with an anodized pan - make sure to never use brake cleaner on it. Super aggressive cleaners like that will totally screw up the anodizing.

It's such an extensive project for a company as small as mine that I have been pushing it back until the timing was just right... I couldn't let it stop the presses here and hold up the bread and butter work and some of the shorter projects.

However I still have all my CAD work for it and I am feeling like there is going to be some clear skies ahead shortly to give me opportunity to work on it more.

jwick 09-10-2015 11:58 PM

Damn that blue one is sick!

I will patiently keep waiting Charles

That blue is awesome. Glad I was able to get one in that color, it will match my JRZs.

Japanjay 09-11-2015 08:42 PM

Assuming there is still some clear ones to be done? I didn't order a blue or black one.

Yup there are still 4 unanodized ones here waiting for their respective buyers to clear their balance! Yours paid almost entirely now. It can go out next week!

Japanjay 09-11-2015 08:55 PM

Would have paid a while back had I known that would have sent it off to get anodized. Only $50. But anywho, can you send my another paypal invoice whenever you got time and I will send the remainder your way. Thank you again for these awesome pans!

If you want yours anodized, it can be done in the next batch... it just will be a couple weeks or so before we take in another batch, and I dont know yet if we will be doing black or blue or both... currently I predict just black in the next batch.

ban25 09-14-2015 05:33 PM

Any update on when the anodized ones will be ready to ship?

Rusty 09-14-2015 10:49 PM

Hey guys. Got a text from phunk. He said that he no longer has access to the forums. So he can't post anything. The admins haven't responded to his e-mails, and won't let him active a new account.

He said that you guys can e-mail or call him if you want to talk to him. He's not ignoring you all.

I have no idea on what's going on......???????????????

Rusty 09-14-2015 11:00 PM

He said that the forum logged him off and can't log back on. His password doesn't work.

He also said that the anodized pans are ready, and started shipping today. Anyone paid in full will have tracking by Wednesday. ;)

phunk 09-14-2015 11:02 PM

I'm back for the moment! My iPad at home is still signed in.

My cell phone and work iPad and PC were logged off for some reason and I cannot reset my password because the forum emails don't work.

At any rate, anodized ones already started shipping and anyone paid in full will have tracking by Wednesday

phunk 09-14-2015 11:03 PM

Thanks rusty! I just realized my personal iPad is still signed in so I will have to carry this with me until I can reach an admin

Rusty 09-14-2015 11:05 PM

:tiphat:

Rusty 09-14-2015 11:10 PM

Ok, you got it handled for now. :tup: I'm going to bed. My asss is beat. Been long day. :shakes head: Good night all.

phunk 09-14-2015 11:16 PM

jrb55gh Wants to switch from black anodized to raw, JapanJay has mentioned wanting to switch from raw to anodized. If JapanJay would like black anodized, I can switch the 2 pan orders. I am waiting for confirmation from JapanJay as I haven't received a PM back about it.

Mike 09-15-2015 10:55 AM

how about trying to reset your password on the ipad that is working, then signing on with the new one? Of course, you risk losing total access if that goes badly

jwick 09-15-2015 11:06 AM

I tried that originally but you have to have the old password to change passwords when logged in... If you don't know the password, which I don't because it's randomly generated, you have to do it by email.

ban25 09-15-2015 12:58 PM

I'm trying to pay the balance on mine right now, but Paypal is complaining that my address is unconfirmed, even though nothing has changed. I'll give them a call to get things sorted out.

jrb55gh 09-15-2015 02:23 PM

I am ready to trade when JapanJay is.

ban25 09-15-2015 07:14 PM

Hey phunk,

I paid the $100 balance I still owed on the pan. Had to send it using a new paypal account. Please let me know if there's anything else you need (I wasn't sure if shipping was included in that price).

phunk 09-15-2015 11:41 PM

Only a couple left to ship now! All the ones marked in red in the first post have either left the building or were packed and labeled to leave tomorrow

jwick 09-16-2015 08:36 AM

Paid

Confirmed. I will have yours out Thursday or Friday since I have to lathe up your custom 1/8 NPT adapter.

Thanks!
