It's official these are now available..

A few people have been asking me about the 5th gear plate mod. I am going to make a small batch of them next month. Pricing will be the same as last time $350 for the plate (going down by $15 for every 10 people) and $150 for the case machining, plus shipping. I will need a $150 deposit by the end of the month. If you want your case machined, I'll need it by 11/10/2014. I have detailed instructions if you want to machine the case yourself/locally. Plan is to have everything finished and shipped back before the end of November.

Details:
- Group buy will close October 31, 2014.
- $150 deposit required by October 31, 2014. Not refundable after October 31, 2014.
- If you want me to machine the center case and install the plate, I must have it by November 10, 2014 otherwise the price to machine the case will go up to $165.
- I will keep track of all the center cases. You will get the same one back that you sent me, in the same packaging. If you send it to me wrapped in brown paper, then that's how you'll get it back...
- I want clean cases. Spend a few dollars on a can of brake cleaner, purple superclean, etc. I'll charge $25 if you send me a dirty case.
- I expect to ship bare plates within 2-3 weeks and complete cases within 4 weeks at which point final payment will be due. I will send you a PM with your shipping costs at that time.
- I will accept money orders or paypal. Paypal address is same as my email: ferdi [at] ferdster (dot) com. Email/PM me if you want to send me a money order.

When taking apart your case, keep the bearing races matched to the shafts (ignore if you're replacing them).

I recommend that you check the endplay/preload on the shafts/diff. I have seen a few that have been out of spec, probably from the outer bearing races spinning and wearing down the aluminum.

Here are a few pics from previous runs:

Nice! You gettin' in Mark? It is a thing of beauty. You'll love it (the way it looks anyway). I haven't got mine back together yet as I am waiting for my gears.

I do want it. But I'm going to Austin Texas for the F1 race and my money tree is recovering.
