I've PM's and Emailed Forced_Firebird; waiting to hear back. If anyone else is interested speak up now. For the full set he wants $140 shipped to the US and $155 shipped to Canada. I'm going to post in the general section as well to see if anyone else is in.
The subject of 10 degree or 5 degree rear brackets has been brought up. Not sure if he can do the 5's yet so don't know if this is even an option. All would have to be the same as that's how mass production goes.

I have yet to receive my brackets or my money back, I hope everything goes good with your group buy, but I have yet to here from forced firebird about what happened to my brackets. That'll be the last time I send a money order for a group buy. If I would've used a credit card, I would've gotten my money back already. I got stiffed.

I think I'm going to pull my name from this group. I talked to the welder here at work, and he has the material to make them in scrap. He said if I get him the blue print he can make them for free....well he will have a favor to collect, but still free for my pocket.

I will go ahead and make the parts and let you guys know when they are ready, won;t accept any money until they are shipping this time to avoid any issues, as well as requiring a signature on all boxes since no only was I out the money for a set that I made (materials, tooling, time), I had to refund the full amount.
I will get with my partner (he owns the machines and does the scheduling) and will update you guys asap.

Again, I never heard back from you on an address via email and sent a money order back to the return address on the envelope, this time requiring a signature.
I'll wait for the money order. I asked in the post which address you sent the parts to? I hope you sent the money order to the iowa address and not the villa address.

Money order came back "invalid address". Please email me john at 60inclusive.com. I guess now we know why the brackets never made it, but not sure why the money order made it back, but the package disappeared? GO USPS Yes, it was Iowa on the return address, perhaps the hand writing is making me see something wrong?

I have yet to receive my money back or a set of brackets. I'm assuming that I'll be on the next run of brackets..... I sent an email to 60 inclusive and never heard back. What's the deal?

Been 3 weeks since you made this post and yet no word.
1 of the things that gets people going on this kind of stuff is lack of communication.
Are these ready? if not, when will they be ready?

Yes, you are right. We work the day before and the day after Christmas (Hanukkah for the Jewish folk with us), yet we take a nice long vacation for Thanksgiving. Main reason we didn't want to accept any cash was because of the crunch time wrapping things up to take 2 weeks to relax. We will be going back to work Monday and let you know where things stand on the list of to-do's.

I can post the emails back and forth if you like, but they were answered within a day of receipt - email is the fastest way to get a hold of us, will say again, we can't possibly visit every forum every day that we are involved in. The funds were returned to you some time ago according the to the USPS tracking, I am sure the money order was deposited by now, and probably didn't even take note of the date it was issued (package was returned to us, then sent back out again after awaiting reply of address). Same address was written on the bracket box as the money order envelopes, they lost the package, then money order was marked undeliverable/returned, then finally delivered, not sure what the issue was. Please let us know if it was not received so we can yet again take action (well try).

I talked to him over email; he had his calendar wrong. I think they were to be finished cutting last Friday. Then he had to tap them and clean them up.

This would have been info that he should have posted up here instead of letting us sit and wonder where our parts are.

He is talking about the spacers needed for the front brackets.
olaf_fiero27, found a way to get what you need yet? I found the same pieces at my local Farm and home supply store. Might try places like that. If no luck, get back to me.

ok USPS Priority only takes 3 business days. I still dont have it, was this actually shipped or just a label printed??
Mine came yesterday (7 days after I got the email with the tracking #) and i only live 2 hours from where they were shipped. I am assuming the label was printed and the brackets were actually shipped 4 days later.

I received mine today...Thank you!! I think they printed out the labels and shipped them four days later. I now have the rotors and the brackets... Just a few more parts to go.
