Default Paging all Mance parts owners selling anything ....

I'd like to find a used Mance IM & TB. Any condition is fine as long as its usable. I can clean them up or repair, if needed.

I hate to admit it but I noticed MurderDyne has a P&P'd IM for $199. I dont know if he's anymore trusted than before but for that price, I could save a lot of time on the P&P. I just wish he showed the inside, so I could judge the work.

I'm taking all of next week off to work on my poor 'lil silver 90. I wanna have the motor ready to go soon. Anyone in MI wanna come over for a 12v pull next weekend? I want this car running, this summer, SOOOO BAD.


Thanks in advance.

Mance's parts retain value...you're better off just buying the TB from him...and he does not do IM's

Default I seem to remember him saying that... something about the time involved.

Makes sense. Thats why I'm looking to buy rather than DIY (on some of the stuff). I've got a lot of time next week but would rather know that its done correctly by him. I haven't seen anyone talking about the tower strut bar in a long time... are they still out there?

Default the 2 IM's I've personally done took over 100 hours each and are bench-flowed...

in both wet and dry configurations. All are CC'd to within one drop liquid volume in all 12 primary/secondary runners. At $50 per hour plus flow work these would go for well over $5k each. I seriously doubt anyone "really" wants one of my IM's that much and I really don't want to sell them as I'd rather eat a baby than do another one.

People have been trying to get a 25 person GP together for pre-loadable strut bars for almost 2 years. Most they can come up with is 5-6 at any given time then that changes and people fall off the list and another gets on it. Been that way for over a year. Fewer than 12 people would make them over $350 each. At 25 people they're under $200 each.

Default I figured as much....

I remember you saying that one of them had taken that much time. I charge $45.00 per hr (I'm on the low end, too) for my low voltage wiring, so I hear ya on that. I guess I'll just have to wait on the Tower Bar and do the IM myself, unless MurderDynes is worth buying. I seriously doubt he'll take pics of the inside for me. Plus, I could never know that the pics I was looking at were what I was getting. I remember him using pics that "may" not have belonged to his cars or his products, in the past.

Ohh well..... sigh. Time to order the carbide bits and all the rest, I guess.

Thanks anyway.
