EOI: "Kafer Cup" bar......Quality, not cheap junk!##Progress Photo's##

Craig Torrens · 2008-02-04T10:18:13+00:00

Hi, I'm making up a "Kafer Cup" style of brace to stop axle tramp which will be soon available for sale. The kit will use custom made clevis joints, high quality aluminium for the bars and will be a bolt in kit. This kit will be of a much higher quality than other 'cheaper' style kits, that don't always provide the right end result. Please post here if you are interested.

Is this like the 1916 threads where we all debate how good or bad they are, but never find out what they cost.🙂

Maybe you should go back and read the first post AGAIN...

I'm sure that most people that are seriously interested in installing a Kafer style bar would have already researched what they sell for OS as well as locally, and would therefore have a rough idea as to what they are worth.

Most people would probably also realise that for me to duplicate this setup it wouldn't cost double nor would it cost half that of other kits available...........................so as a guide range expect to pay from $280 to $480

.......as for the cost of 1916's, ring Stan Pobjoy he's built over 2500 of them 😂

unfortunately due to the rain today I was unable to drive the bug to the workshop to start work on the kits 😢.........................this means it will be at least another week before I can do the costings (need to fabricate mine first to establish cost) BUMMER 🥲

Until Craig puts a price up I will sell better quality units than him for less money, feel free to order.

Oh by the way I am currently out of stock and quality and price may vary on the next batch.

That will do for now, once you have settled up on the $1000 you owe me I will think about ordering a few more, this is a great way to make money.
