Jack Pad....is this right?

[JRockFTW]

No only 1 request.
Sent it over to your email (jshXXXX@gmail.com)

How about you just PM me the tracking number? I've sent you my real name, address, and e-mail and STILL haven't received any information and I highly doubt gmail is blocking it or considering it spam.

[INA]

I have not recieved an email either. Any word on of there was a mix up with my order/address?

Thanks

Check your PM Rameen.

Let me just remind everyone that what INA is doing for us is very kind natured, and beyond the norm. While I'm starting to feel impatient too, we should be thankful to have found a company to make this for us for such a reasonable price.

Celebrate the awesomeness. Don't fret over the little details that will soon be forgotten.

X2 ! FYI, when the delivery guys arrive and nobody is home, INA then receives a call asking what to do. Perhaps those still awaiting delivery can post a note on their doors to say leave the package in the mailbox ? Also please check your Paypal email accounts for the DHL tracking info !

We all appreciate the work that has been done. All we are asking for is some information. We can't help DHL or INA if we don't know what the tracking numbers are. Getting everyone their tracking numbers or the end product shouldn't be this difficult or have taken this long.

[mtbscoTT]

I have received no emails with tracking info, and have PM'ed INA with my real name/address, etc, and have received no response.

I have not gotten tracking or my package, but I agree 100%, as long as all ends well I am very grateful INA provided this service.

Is it safe to say that all of the packages have been sent at this point? At least to the 50 of us that were in the first to order? If so I haven't seen a tracking number at this point either.

I will send a p.m. with my shipping info. Perhaps that will help get the number.

[INA]

Gentlemen,
relax....we do not check vortex every minute. You will receive your tracking #'s and packages as soon as we humanly can.
Will reply to your PM's shortly.

The reason you haven't received a tracking # is because they haven't shipped it yet. When I got my tracking # this evening it indicated the package shipped today. I was under the impression that they had shipped all units a while ago.

What I don't appreciate is being given the run around, if the product hasn't shipped yet just say so.

[blimey]

Got your p.m. Thanks for the quick reply.I will let you know when I get the info tommorrow

Not sure if you are using the correct choice of words but you were not given any run around so please do not play it off like you were. You were told you would receive an email shortly. Everyone in here has been extremely patient and understanding with respect to tracking and delivery times. We didn't recieve payment directly for the first 50 units so we are doing the best we can to fulfill those orders.

As it is right now ....we have a request for an additional 30 units and we can not even start on those until all of you are taken care of.
If you have anymore questions do not hesitate to contact us.

I believe the disconnect is that a post was made on the 22nd that all of the pucks would commence shipping on that day and two weeks later it's not clear how many or which orders have actually shipped. I think it's the two week lag that's making folks a bit antsy.

Understandable.

tracking number rec'd

[MoreGooderTT]

Me too!

[nj_v-dub]

Got mine

[Marty]

Mine arrived yesterday. They look fine (they don't match the CAD exactly, but are probably close enough). I'll try to jack the car up with one tomorrow.

[- Jeremy -]

Still waiting on mine. Haven't received a tracking #, either. Nor any notification from my freight forwarder. Interesting...

I want to put on my summer wheels before I drive down to the Geneva Auto Show next weekend, so I guess I'll just have to rig something up with a hockey puck and a socket instead.

Can you be specific as to what you mean by they do not match the CAD exactly? Do you mean the jpeg file we showed earlier?

[FirstAudiTTS]

Do you have any jack pads remaining for sale?

50 additional units are in que to be machined now.
Jump on the list if you wish.

Just jack it up normally at the flat areas further under the car (behind front, in front of rear).. same as the workshop does when they have your car. No need for MacGuyver tricks.

My bad; the jack pad matches the jpeg file you posted earlier, but not the original SketchUp CAD file. The top of the "post" was a semi-circle in the CAD, but has a small 1-2mm flat at the top of your jpeg. I doubt it'll cause any issues.

Just FYI, you may want to reduce the width of the "post" from 70mm down to maybe 68mm for future production runs just to make it easier to insert in to the slot under the car.

At 70mm, it's hard to actually fit it in the groove. Luckily the groove is some sort of hard plastic-like material, so if you line it up straight and push hard enough, it will eventually pop in. It's a tight enough fit that if I let go of the jack pad, the jack pad will actually stay in the slot and not fall out under its own weight.

I may file down the edges a bit just to help it pop in a little easier.

Isn't that what people want though? For the Jack puck to be secure onto the puck slot? I doubt 2mm will make a difference but if they have not started cutting ill make the modification.
we drew these using Steve's car as a reference....not using someone elses drawing (still have not seen the file).

Actually, I'm pretty excited that it fits like that. It will make using a lift so much easier. I was worried that it wouldn't stick into the grooves and that I was going to have to use tape or something to coordinate a 4-point lift.

I can fit them in to the slots on my car after a few tries, but I'd be more concerned about the tolerance of the slot across a larger quantity of cars (and tolerance of the jack machining) making it so some don't actually fit.

Cutting out a millimeter or two would just help ensure that they'll always fit.

Though it sounds like some folks like the tight fit...

[MoreGooderTT]

The original file created using Google Sketchup was designed to have a fairly loose fit. It was both shorter in length and smaller radius on the top than what the pocket of my own car measured.

A tighter fit will work just fine. If it requires a bit of pressure to pop the jack pad in, then it's even better in my opinion.

I'm more worried about put popping it in at the bottom of the slot where the force can bend open the slot slightly, but it getting jammed / stuck once I actually jack the car up with it. I'll try jacking the car up tonight.

One of the guys sent me an email that should calm your fears. Looks like someone beat you to the spring tire change rush. It comes out after being jacked up

[JohnLZ7W]

Got tracking info today, should be here in time for my next project. thanks!
