I am not sure about the rules for starting/posting GP's here, so don't flame yet. Not sure how many have 8.8's so here goes......
-Since there really is not a better 8.8 IRS cover for the MN-12 available I got in touch with JBL Motorsports LLC about making one. They currently make one, however it has a horizontal mounting flange rather than a vertical flange. They have agreed to make us one for our specific needs, with the horizantal flange. They need a minimum of 20 orders to get started on making these.
- DETAILS about the product: Alloy, substantialy stronger than our current stock covers, thicker flange (will still fit stock mounting brace if you want to keep it), they will guarantee the fit. Drain plug, bolts/studs that hold the carrier bearings in place (carrier bearing movement is what typically causes broken covers). From the time we get 20 confirmed orders the estimated time to completion is 8 to 9 weeks.
- COST: $275 each, this isn't cheaper than what they currently offer, but they still have to engineer it, so I think it is still a great deal on a new improved product.
- The gentleman I spoke to said it should also fit the IRS equipped Cobras as well, I'll get more details, but if you know of anyone, or own one yourself, that would be interested let them know too.
Once we get at least 20 COMMITTED buyers I will work out payment arrangements with the company, truthfully I would rather not be holding peoples money. So hopefully we can get enough people on this to get a great new product.
Here is a link that will show you the one they currently make, the proposed one will ahve all the same features, but in a configuration for the MN-12/Cobra rear end.
