OK, we were going to go through and post another long post and exhaustively go through each point, but that would probably create the need for another post, then another.
Basically, this is where we are at. We are designing a 3 link rear
suspension for the vintage Mustang/Falcon/Cougar. It will be a bolt-in unit, that will require no modifications to the existing body structure of the vehicle, beyond a few drill holes….We are done with the watts link, now the next piece to complete is the Trilink, followed by the adjustable rear stabilizer bar.
When would we like this to be done? Now.
When do we plan on having it complete? TriLink – 10/06, Stabilizer Bar 11/06
When will it actually be done? Who knows, **** happens. We are a small company and any one of a hundred things can affect our bandwidth: production, website, race team, marriage, children, vacations, holidays, etc….Nevertheless, if we don’t meet our planned date it should be within a few weeks of the date.
We have heard the words like alibi, speculation and avoidance. What are we avoiding??? It's rather simple, the product is coming. We stated in our last post that we were waiting for the production watts to finish up the development of the TriLink, so nothing has been done as far as fitting items. The TriLink will consist of 2 lcas, an upper link, a cradle that mounts to the watts and a cradle that mounts to the diff. There are a host of ways to attach the cradle to the diff, we just need to arrive at the one that is most amenable to a bolt in application. We are deciding if we want billet lcas or tubular lcas…That is what we are looking into now. In the past we have posted pre-pre production photos of the things we cobble up during development. What happens is people take that as the gospel, then question every nook and cranny, which essentially derails our time. Then if that piece changes another round of questioning ensues. After, the release of our TriLink for the late model Mustangs we decided that would no longer occur. When we have a production prototype of the TriLink system it will be posted. Then it will be 4-6 weeks until production is complete.
We understand everyone is waiting. Hell I don’t even have the Watts for my Fastback. Believe me, this will be complete, my 66 Fastback is looking forward to it.
We are not sure what else to say. We are not dodging questions or whatever it is you think we are doing. We are simply developing a new product and balancing our time between the rest of the business and family commitments. It took us a year to bring the late model TriLink to market. It just takes time. We will not sacrifice build quality or performance to meet a date.
Thanks….Mike
