Hi Stephen

[renaultalpine]

The majority of the wheels were collected by Fedex this afternoon via Direct Courier Solutions who seem to be pretty organised and actually pick up the phone if there is a query unlike the fiasco we had with DHL (cold fusion).

Those people that have asked for valves - they have been put in the boxes via the handle holes. One per box where possible.

All of the front wheel boxes have handle holes, but only some of the rear wheel boxes have handle holes. If your rear wheel boxes don't have handle holes the valves will be doubled up in the front wheel boxes. Keep them the right way up so they don't fall out again!

I have a theory that the boxes with handle holes are the ones that have the wheel centres included (and they may have been put in the same way as I put in the valves) but as I have not opened any of the boxes that have been shipped today I will have to rely on you to let me know. The theory is based on the contents of the four boxes that Phil collected in person on Sunday and we opened them to look at the wheels.

So on that basis, If I am right, everyone will get at least two new centres and some will get possibly get four. This is a bonus though and no guarantees!! One of the boxes in the first batch had two centres and one had none so there may not even be a hard and fast rule.

Maybe some people from the first batch could let me know also. Thing is I guess most people just put them up the loft without looking and I certainly didn't keep a record of how many boxes had handle holes or not!

BTW that's 93 wheels ordered to date and this time I remembered to pick up a set for myself

There was a very nice white Megane Trophy car wrapped in cling film on a pallet ready for shipping to Japan...

 

[renaultalpine]

Jack / Toolkit covers still come complete with the foam on the lid and a new pair of the velcro straps.

All the phase II RHD bodyshells have now gone but there is still one RHD TWR phase I shell left...

I didn't ask how many wheels were still left.

thanks for the group buy stephen :approve:

 

[ed_harland]

Payment is clear and yes they come with centre caps

Stephen
Rear wheel boxes, no handle holes = no centre caps. Bit of a shame really as the thought of 4 new centre caps tipped the balance on wether to purchase or not.

All credit to you though in the logistics of getting this lot back and delivered [smilie=thanks.gif]

 

[renaultalpine]

Rear wheel boxes, no handle holes = no centre caps

So did you get two caps then?

About half the rears were in non handle boxes so what I'll do to try and square things up a bit is refund the valve money for anyone that didn't get rear caps.

The caps were an unexpected bonus last time and we assumed they would all be there this time. Looks like around 75% had caps.

Yes two caps with the fronts
Don't worry about refunding the valve money, still very happy with the wheels

[pturner3]

Looch

My plastic tyre foam housing was about £55 from RPD. Straps, about £10 each.

Wheels arrived yesterday, thanks Stephen for all your efforts.

I only have the 2 centre caps - if you happen to come across any at any point in your travels, please keep me in mind as I'd like to complete the set

Cheers
