Well if it is only 125 from Midwest that isn't too horrible if it is as good as everyone says. How much did yall get it for if you dont mind me asking. I'd look but there is 18 pages to go through lol

The ZF5 kit is more than $125 from Midwest. I think they were a little over $200 from Midwest. i forgot what i paid for mine through Clay. Shoot Clay a PM and see what he can do.

I wish Clay would update ya'll on the progress.
I was told from a good source last week that Midwest went to china to have them made cheaper, only to receive the parts and they were junk and decided they want nothing to do with the shifter.
Maybe Clay has something else up his sleeve for you guys?

If you guys know a good machinist, you can have one made like I did for half the cost of what the others guys paid from midwest. It's actually real simple...

Sorry guys, been a little hectic lately with RRE almost here. We should have an american solution for you soon, just need to get through RRE and get back on it. I won't know pricing or anything for a bit, but shouldn't be anymore than before.

I purchased the reamining stock of parts from Midwest many, many months ago and have been buried in other projects. There is a waiting list right now about 30 people deep. As soon as I can get some done, I have 6 shifters, those will be sent out and when 6 more cores are returned, those will be modified, sent out, and so on. I actully just met with another shop last week and they are supposed to be working on them right now.

Keep saving up and check back with me late Spring or early summer, I hope to be caught up by then.
