They're very late. But we saved the best for last. โœจ

They took a lot more time, effort and extra expertise than anything we originally planned. But if it wasn't for the setbacks, they wouldn't have turned out as special.

Solid aluminium. Beautifully finished by arguably the best aluminium restoration specialists in Melbourne. These overshot even our expectations โค๏ธ

Remanufactured batch just arrived and looking great!

Really happy with the consistent sandblasted finish, plus the black is darker and glossier.

Will get in touch with everyone who's order we have, to start taking payments and finalising orders.

(Aluminium orders + a few others are scheduled to be done this Thursday, and should arrive early next week)

Received half our plastic/black Nylon orders end of last week. For some reason - slightly different to the 3 rounds of prototypes we've had so far.

Probably not noticeable for most people, but we're currently speaking with the manufacturer to see if they can squeeze out slightly higher quality.

If you're happy to wait a little longer - we'll update as soon as new batch is here and inspected.

Aluminium parts will also be coming with the new batch. Being a more expensive product, we wanted to make sure any potential issues are ironed out with the Nylon first.

Thank you for your patience! We're pretty excited about the quality we've seen in the previous orders, and hoping that you're as impressed with it once it's in your hands. โœจ

Very quick update!

Had a slight delay on the manufacturers' end - the final prototypes only arrived a few days ago (we were hoping to have them early last week).

It was worth the wait, as the delay was due to making sure the quality was up to form.

Absolutely in love with the finish on the black pieces; the solid-ness and weight of the aluminium mount is very fancy... (for a laugh we also experimented with a clear-plastic mount, which actually came out beautifully ๐Ÿ˜)

Ordering the full production run this weekend. Once the mounts arrive - we'll do another update, ask for full payments and start shipping them out.

We'll get in touch with everyone over the next few days, to make sure everyone is on the same page. If you have any questions, please let us know! ๐Ÿ˜

This picture is definitely worth a thousand words.

3D scan of the underside of a Gen4 Liberty 6MT EZ30R.

(Just an early step in a number of on-going projects. It's strangely nice to look at... so I had to share โค๏ธ)

Weโ€™ve got the first group's numbers roughly finalised. We'll start taking deposits now, and place our orders end of this week

If youโ€™ve expressed interest, and we havenโ€™t contacted you by the 25th Feb - please get in touch. Orders will close 26th Feb (this Sunday).

Weโ€™ve got a fair bit of interest in THIS group buy - so:

- The black plastic holder price is coming down to $80 + $10 shipping Australia wide. (That's $55USD + $17USD for international shipping.)

- The Aluminium holder will come down to $150AUD ($105USD). Same shipping.

- Weโ€™re also looking into a cheaper, slightly lower-quality alternative. Testing will take ~4 weeks. There is a good chance it wonโ€™t be up to our standardsโ€ฆ๐Ÿ‘€ no guarantees at this point.

Future group buys may have higher pricing, so if youโ€™re on the fence - itโ€™s potentially a good idea to jump on now, rather than miss out.

Even with extensive prototyping, there are always improvements to be made. The OEM fuel door sticker was peeking out from behind our cap holder. As nice as the holder was, the sticker took away from the OEM+ look. So we killed it. And then just covered it up... ๐Ÿ™Š

Itโ€™s basically the same beautiful holder, now with our logo on the side, covering up the remainder of the sticker. Looks great, and no need to peel factory stickers.

(If you liked the previous design - let us know, we can still supply it for you.)

The new design also opens up space for...

๐‚๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ?!

It is very cool to have a few S402 owners in the group buy. Even a few replica S402s (putting two aside for James and Paul). A number of tbSti owners have also requested the โ€œStiโ€ logo.

Those two logos are already drawn up, and free to add to your order. Custom text will cost an additional $10.

If you would like something written - please specify during your order/deposit. Be as specific as possible. Text, size, font, etc. Weโ€™ll do our best to make it work nicely.

Cash on pick up or Bank Transfer are preferred. PayPal is fine, please donโ€™t forget they have a 3% processing fee.

Weโ€™re hoping to get the orders shipped out by the 12th of March (~2 weeks from now). Weโ€™ll contact you for full payment once we have the parts in our hands.

Ok! *wipes sweat off brow* That just about covers it.

Please get in touch by the 26th Feb to place your orders and deposits. We canโ€™t guarantee pricing or wait times for any future group runs.

You spoke. We listened.

Letโ€™s address the two main points of feedback - โ€œprice could be lowerโ€ and โ€œsomeone already makes this for $20โ€.

๐๐ซ๐ข๐œ๐ž

Weโ€™re waiting, and working on bringing it down. It will depend on pre-order numbers.

How can you help? โ€œPrice needs to be lowerโ€ - by itself isnโ€™t a helpful comment. Obviously, that would always be great.

If youโ€™re interested - please let us know ๐ž๐ฑ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ what price youโ€™re hoping for. Is your price point $50? Are you more interested in pure function? Happy to sacrifice some finish quality? Maybe for those people, we need to look at cheaper manufacturing methods.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here. Unlike the Etsy links shared to us - our design is not a free file off Thingyverse. And we are not 3D printing it in our bedroom.

If someone is satisfied with stringy layer lines, bare-minimum material and a free public file being printed for $2 - thatโ€™s ok. Please understand that itโ€™s a different level of product.

We love our FDM 3D printer, although we mostly use it for prototyping. For us personally, it doesnโ€™t feel right to ask people to run a cheap, rough, prototype-like product on their pride-and-joy.

We get excited about delivering a high-quality, uncommon product. Weโ€™re aiming for injection-moulding or aluminium cast quality, at much smaller run numbers. Nobody else is doing that.

โ€ฆ

Hopefully that clears the air. Weโ€™re not trying to sell a $20 product for $100. Weโ€™re trying to deliver something that would normally cost $150-200, or require 100+ unit runs, down to $80-100.

Weโ€™ll be running a poll, to zone in on exactly what you guys to are hoping to get, and how we can achieve it. Keep an eye out ๐Ÿ™‚

Hey guys, weโ€™re pretty excited about this one. Finally something nice to hold your Gen4 Liberty/Legacy fuel cap, while you fill up.

The OEM strap was an afterthought. A trinket instead of a fix. It either dangles the cap against your carโ€™s paintwork, or it snaps completely.

Our criteria for a proper solution:
- Holds the cap safely, away from scuffing paint
- Quick to use. Simple to install.
- Lasts the life of the vehicle
- Stands up to any climate (hot or cold, wet or dry)
- Be chemically resistant (fuel, oil, solvent, water, salt, etc)
- Nice to look at. A quality piece in presentation, as well as function

After a number of designs, prototyping, testing and going through various manufacturing and material options - this holder ticks all the boxes. Itโ€™s very satisfying to so easily hang the cap (and very nice to feel and look at ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜).
