OK, I decided not to increase the selling price for now.

 

So, I did have time to run some more of these and have them ready to ship.

 

The standard fixture with the short blocks remains at $75 + shipping

The drag fixtures have a full set of 4 longer blocks and are $95 + shipping

 

They all come with both the short and long pins.

 

Thanks, Happy New Year

Mark

The units I had are now all gone. Thank you

 

A side note:

If you have damaged the top surface of the fixture and would like it re-cut to ensure it really is flat please contact me.

I have made another run of these. My material supplier damaged sections of the tube material. There fore I have one unit with cosmetic blemishes but do not effect the function of the fixture. I will sell it for $70 instead of the normal $75 for those who may be interested.

 

In post 130, Dec 28-2018 I said the prices would remain steady. Last weekend USPS has raised their rates and when combined with the materials extra cost now I must change course. So this will definitely be the last run at these prices. I hate to do it but the following runs will be an additional $5.

I have donated one of these as a prize for the 24 hour race at Mark's Model World this weekend. I hope they break that record.

I hope they break that record.

It will be great race, because they have a full field, with a ton of top-notch racers participating.

 

But, you don't need to worry about them breaking the record.

 

That happened as soon as they chose to run cars that are at least a 1/2 second faster, per lap, than the Deathstar powered, Flexi 5, that set the record 13 years ago.

Glad you like it Donnie. It is nice to do only 4 holes or 8 if you want two positions for the body.

I just got mine in the mail today. The first thing I decided to do was mount a f1 body. Normally I ask someone else to mount my f1 body’s but I decided to try it out. Luckily, it was cut flat and it came out pretty well. I was very pleased with this new tool of mine! I decided to cut a f1 flat and it came out amazing! I highly recommend this tool to anyone who is in need of a great body mounting jig.

Recieved my body pinning fixture from Mark today.

Duuuude......

Amazing product, took me longer to open it than it took to pin the first body. High quality piece, easy to understand and use. Accurate, VERY accurate.

A great value. Enjoyable.

Wanted to say thanks for the extra care in packing materials and for that shipping box that would absorb all bumps and drops.

 

Makes me smile more when I look at the 'Made in the USA' label that is more than just a sticker placed onto this solid build.

 

No more bleeding fingers for me !

 

Have a nice day :)

Thanks Ron, I try my best to provide real quality. I am glad you like the fixture.

 

In todays world the top quality touted by most only means that the cheapest stuff they can find to use on their product is marginally better than the competition. Very sad and prevalent in everything from toasters to automobiles and beyond.

 

Have a great Day

I have a blemished unit available. The mill I order from had some small divots on one side. They are in area that does not effect the function of the fixture and I will ship it to lower 48 for $85.

 

PM me if interested
